| Washington, oct. .3.--Admission OF
defects in the indictment OF james
| Patton. Eugene Scales Frank b
! lIane and William r. Brown on
charges of conspiracy to run Sl0.-
| 000,00 corner on cotton in 1910, on
the New York cotton exchange in vin-
, lation OF the antitrust law, We're made
in the supreme court today BY Solicitor
General Bullitt for the government
The occasion was the second argu-
ment over the Indictment the court
not being willing to decide last spring
the correctness of the decision Of the
New York federal court in quashing
several vital counts.
The new solicitor general had barely
stated to the court that the question
in the case was the decision Of the
lower court that the sherman anti-
trust law did not prohibit the pan
ming of corner" before Chief Justice
White suggested that he would be
pleased to have the government 1T
some time define just what it meant
10y "a corner
Mr. Bullitt responded il was COM
bination among dealers in Il commod-
ity, or outside capitalists for the pur-
pose of buying up the greater portion
of the commodity and holding il back
from sale until the demand so far
oulran the limited supply as to ad-
vance the price abnormally.
"Now | want you to show the in
dictment fits that definition added
the chief Justice
That led the solicitor general to an
nouncc that he abandoned the third
count or the Indictment. because the
lower court found there was no charge
in it that the defendants were to hold
back the cotton from sale, and consc-
uuently no corner charged.
Getting right down to brass tacks'
declared Mr.. Bulitt. II frankly admit
that the other count. the seventh. has
one defect. There is no express state
ment in it that the combination was
created to withhold the cotton
bought"
The solicitor general said that in
dealing with this defect the govern
mcnt advanced two argumnets. one
that the lower court construed the
count to charge the running of Il
corner and the supreme court
could do nothing but accept that inter
pretation. Notwithstanding 1t might be
the duty to examine the Interpretation
II there were a conviction and an APP
peal. The second argument. Mr.. Bul-
lit said, was that the government. had
used the word corner in the count
and everybody in the world knew that
A corner included Withholding from
sale.
Mr. Bullitt admitted that if either
)ne of these arguments was acceptable
thc government had no case.
