The United States Court of Appeals
has set aside the fine of $29,240, 0OO
against the Standard Oil Co., as
excsssion. No one expected that
such an outrageous fine as that would
ever be paid. The court has also de-
cided that shipper on the testimony
offered at the trial could not be con-
victed, and that the court below
erred III the view that the number
of offenses was the numb r
of carloads of property transported
irrespective of whether each carload
was the whole or only part of single
transaction resulting in shipment.
And SO the case is remanded for a
new trial. The government will con-
tinue its prosecution of the case.
