Company's attorneys to limit the Of
lenses to one, it is regarded as almost
certain that conviction in the addi-
tional indictments will result in sep
arate fines for each count. The mini
mum of all fines, in this event, would
be 81, 900 each for the 1466 counts in
the first case, 81, AGO. 900, and for the
untried counts in the last five indict-
ments, $4,06o,0 600.
The five untried indictments charge
offenses in connection with shipments
over the Chicago & Alton railway,
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy, and the Lake
Shore G. Michigan Southern railroad.
The counts in which the railroads
are involved are: Chicago & Alton,
1866; Chicago & Eastern Illinois,
1852; Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
2344; Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern, 80.
Railroads Also Liable.
The railroads are liable for about
two-thirds fines aggregating the
amount in which the oil company may
be mulcted. The statutes of limita-
ton would prevent them from being
indicted for one-third Of the alleged
offenses. District Attorney Sims re-
fused to say whether or not he will
present the evidence against the rail
road companies and ask for their in
dictment.
The Elkins amendment destroyed
the Imprisonment provision OF the
original law, but this has been re-
stored by the Hepburn amendment.
1t is a question whether any of the
alleged acts were committed after
the enactment Of the Hepburn law.
II so, the officials of the offending
corporations, upon conviction, may
also be imprisoned. The only evi.
| dence thus far adduced relates to of.
lenses concerning which there is nc
liability for Imprisonment.
