He caught himself in time with q
sullen grunt which may have been the
result Of fatigue or Of that latent in
stinct Of loyalty which is often the
most difficult obstacle a detective has
to encounter.
"And Mr.. Ranelagh, suppose you
would say?" was Sweetwater's easy
finish.
No answer. The coachman simply
locked the door and put the key in his
pocket
Sweetwater made no effort to deter
him. More than that, he desisted from
further questions. though he was dying
to ask where this key was kept at
night and whether it had been in its
usual place on the evening Of the muir
der. He had gone far enough, he
thought. Another step and he might
arouse this mans suspicion. If not his
enmity. But he did not leave the shad-
ows into which he again receded until
he had satisfied himself that the key
went into the stable with the coach
man. where it probably remained for
this night at least.
1t was after 10 when Sweetwater
re-entered the house to say good night
to Hexford. He found him on watch

Sweetwater subdued the natural re-

the saloons, got some specific informa.

to come upon Helen. who was just ex.

TRUST CASES
NEAR end
ARGUMENTS in TOBACCO TRUST
CASE CONCLUDE BEFORE SU.
PREME COURT TODAY
STANDARD OIL Co. NEXT

Washington, D. c., Jan. 12.-In the
closing arguments yesterday in the
contest before the Supreme Court OF
the United States over the proposed
dissolution of the so-called Tobacco
Trust" the issue between the trust"
and the government became more TO-
calized than ever before. This was
particularly true in regard to the in
depreciation of the ''monopolizing
section of the Sherman antitrust law,
| which has been passed by the court.
In interpretating this section of the
law, Junius Parker, speaking for John
G. Johnson, who was unable to be
in court. said on behalf of the To
| bacco organization, that bigness OF
an organization or more power pos
monopoly. 1t was argued that there
must be an exclusion or attempt to
exclude others from interstate trade
| by means at least tortious under the
common law or under statutes other
than the Sherman law.
Attorney General Wickersham, for
the government objected to this in
| depreciation and gave another to the
court. He said that decisions of the
court itself had demonstrated that it
was brought about by acts of indi
viduals in endeavoring to engross to-
themselves all of a given commodity.
and that it has become a question Of
intent.
Evidently bearing in mind sugges-
tions made earlier in the day by Chief
Justice White that intent as critic
rion of violation of the law was un-
certain and made it impossible for the
business man to know whether he
was violating the law until the courts
passed on his case, Attorney-General
Wickersham argued that intent"
was no more uncertain than fraud"
which was punished by the law.
The arguments of the day were
made by w. B. Hornblower, repre-
senting the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany, Of Great Britain; S. M. Stroock,
representing the United Cigar Stores
Company; Mr.. Parker, for the Am
erican Tobacco Company, and Mr..
Wickersham. Mr.. Wickersham was
given few minutes today to con-
clude.
Thereafter, arguments in the Stand
ard Oil dissolution suit will be
taken up.
Mr. Wickersham devoted much OF
his time in showing that the
tobacco organization had been built
up with an intent to restrain trade and
to monopolize the business.
He ridiculed the testimony of the
officials of the American Tobacco
Company, wherein they maintained
that they never had any idea of re-
| straining trade.
