HELPING ICE COMPETITORS
Presecutten Opposes Oilers Letters q
sternbacher's Testimony.

SternOechere Teeum0Oy.
Frank Sternbacher, one Of the general
managers OF the American Ice Company
was called as q witness for the COM
pany before Supreme Court Justice
Wheeler yesterday and testified that
the company had been liberal in sup
plying ice to independent dealers in the
upper part OF the city.
Did you ever refuse to sell ice at the
American bridges to customers who ap-
piled for a supplyl' asked Special Dep
uty Attorney General Osborne in cross
examination.
Not when we had a supply replied
the witness.
Then will read a letter from John d.
Schoonmaker. the former president to
Wesley NJ. oler. and we'l see Il that was
the case" replied Mr.. Osborne.
Il object to that as most outrageous"
said rJohn B. Stanchfield OF counsel for
the company. Mr.. Osborne is trying
to build up his case by illegitimate and
unlawful methods. This witness Is not
responsible for anything Mr.. Schoon-
maker wrote to Mr.. Oler.
said Mr. Osborne. The only !!iesiti-
mate thing done here Ia to put this wit
ness on the stand to swear that this was
never done, to compel a subordinate
to swear to a state of facts that is not
so. The time to bring this thing to the
attention Of the jury is right now.
Justice Wheeler glanced at the letter
and said:
"This letter shows what the defendant
IN this trial was doing. You are trying
TO show that IL was not doing certain
things. Twill admit the letter.
The letter. written in 1908, when Mr..
0ler was vioe-president Of the company
at Baltimore, said:
We are cutting of at our ice bridges
all the dealers who have been buying Ice
elsewhere in the hope that We may be able
TO scoop their trade. which is better than
selling them ice. because they only come
to us when the warm weather is on.
Another letter written by President
Oler in 1906 said:
II this weather keeps up it viii make us
hump ourselves 70 get ice down. We are
not helping our competitors any, although
they are beginning TO ask for Ice.
