Hams, in the killing of William f. An!
MS. Dist. Atty. Dafrin says that an
other week will be required to complete
the case against Thornton Hams.
Since the testimony OF Mrs. Helene
Il. Annis, change has come over the
defendant. Bright and cheer IN the
early days of the trial, his tense face
today showed evident worry over the
character Of the testimony E.
I'VE have not shown our defense

for Hams, and Will not until the
states case has ended. A surprise is
coming in the trial when the defense

action against the standard and Re-
I public companies, adds that In his boz
lief the Waters Pierce OIL company;
should be fined $1,000, 900 Instead of
$4,000. Judge Graves in his opinion;
thinks the Waters-P ierce company
should not be dissolved. He said that
r the evidence showed that ii. Clay
Il Pierce, who owns 40 per cent of the
capital stock of the company did all
Sfn his power to prevent 1t from going
into the trust, even losing his position
as president of the company on that
account.
The minority stockholders, Judge
Graves says. could not help them
selves, and they SHOULD be protected
While Joudge Graves urged Il greater
punishment for the Standard of In-
diana and the Republic of Ohio, vet
lit was due TO his influence that the
Waters-Pierce. Oiicompany was not
absolutely ousted from Missouri.
The opinion of Judge Noodson, which
was concurred in by the other Judges.
states that the record shows that the
Standard Oil COMPANY has been guilty
of unlawful means In the formation Of
a trust to control the output of oil
and the prices ut which II is sold to

Individual Investments have been
blighted by the power of the trust
others have been forced to enter the
service of the company as hewers OF
