Judge Tandis' sensational $50, 24O.-

out by the federal court OF appeals nc
Chicago. and Judge lands himself
indirectly criticised. In An opinion full
OF dramatic language. reversing and
demanding the case for new trial.
Judges Grosscup, Seaman and Baker
held that there was no evidence on
the records 20 justify such an enor-
nous fine and supplemented this Will
cutting queries aimed at the lower
tribunal. IL the fine were justified. so

Great Joy spread through the Stand

was surprised. District Attorney Sims

would pursue his efforts to bring the
Standard on company TO bay ulti-
mateiy.
Reviewing Court Is Unanimous.
The opinion OF the court was writ
ten by Judge Grosscup and concurred
In 10y his associates. It's principal
finding was on the score OF excessive
punishment. which was the basis for
the criticism OF Judge lands. The
reviewing court ruled that from the
record OF the case the assets Of the de-
PENDANT company were not shown 10
