his side. The door of the apartment

SUGAR TRUST
ExONERATED
Held Not Guilty Of Contempt
of Court.
REFUSED TO SHOW BOOKS

Government Had Asked That Concern
Produce Its Records Before the
Grand Jury investigating the Under
weighing Frauds, but Judge La
combs Holds Subpoena as Far Tco
Sweeping to Be Reasonable.
New York, April 5.-United States
Judge Lacombe has refused to punish
the American Sugar Refining company
for contempt of court.
The government had asked that the
corporation be declared in contempt
for refusing to produce its books be-
fore the grand jury investigating the
sugar underweighing frauds in re-
sponse to subpoena directed to the
company and served upon it's secre-
tary, Charles r. Heike. Heike refused
to produce the books unless sworn
before the grand jury.
The government, believing that
ground for claim of immunity might
thus be established, declined to put
him under oath and the grand jury,
consequently, did not obtain posses
sion of the books.
Judge Lacombe, in his opinion, said
he regarded the subpoena served on
Heike as far too sweeping to be rea-
sonable. A second subpoena, which,
however, was served on the president
and resident agent of the company
and restricted to specified books, was
upheld by the court, which denied the
application of company's counsel to
set it aside.
