apparently without the confidence
which marked his demeanor for the
past few days. Rosenthal asked ques-
tions winding up the direct examina-
ton. kellogg is expected to begin his
cross examination today. The witness
was evidently uncomfortable in pros
pect.
Archbold answering Rosenthal's
question declared the Standard was or
ganized in 1882 with funds from the
Standard of Ohio and capitalized at
three millions to take over real estate
and refineries at Bayonne and New
berg, N. j. The Standard of New York
was organized under similar circum-
trustee of the Standard OF, trust from
1882 until 1892 the time of dissolution
Kellogg began the cross examination
shortly before the noon recess and
brought out statement that the wit
ness had been very active in the af-
faris of the Standard. Then he be-
gan to probe the contract with the
Peoples Gas and Coke company of
Chicago and the Standard. The Stand
ard furnished oil at TX cents deliver
ed at the works. Arcibold cou1dn't
remember
Wasn't it very low price?" asked
Kellogg.
Il suppose II was a fair price" he
answered
He said he couldn't remember what
he got from the Consolidated Gas COM
pany of New York for the same oil.
/ Kellogg asked if it was four and one
/ half cents. The witness again testify
replied he could not remember but
| thought he could find out
! He established the fact that arch
bold knew James Mcdonald of London
once manager of the Anglo-American
oil of London, later Chief of the gen
eral industrial development syndicate,
! limited. London Kellogg asked Arch
bold if he could remember the
three million loan made Mcdonald
/ about the time the Manhattan Oil com
pany was taken over by the London
concern Archbold could not. He did
not remember either it had been en-
tered on the American books and said
he could not introduce the books OF
the London Anglo-American Co.
i kellogg asked whether the loan
I was made so tae London concern could
acquire the Manhattan company. a
