state today in the hearing here Of its
S99. 600. 900 oil penalty case.
The state sought to show that so
far as the Magnolia Oil company OF
Texas, a efendant-is is concerned these
prices to the Texas trade depended
on what the Magnolia can get from
marketing its products outside OF
Texas with Standard Oil concerns.
a. c. Ebie, head of the Magnola's
sales department. was on the stand
all day. The defenses first oppor-
tunity to combat some Of the states
contentious came on his cross exami-
ration, by defense counsel, when
Ehie testified he had purchased some
barrels for the Magnolia from the
Standard oil company of New Jersey

in the market and some tank wagons
from the Standard Oil, of Indiana be-
cause they were cheapest and most
suitable He said when he organized
years ago, he sought to get the stand
ard Oil products to market in Texas
because he knew there was a demand
for them. During its first year OF
existence, he said his department was
unable to buy oil from the Vacuum
Oil company of Philadelphia because
that company was handling them in
Texas through the Pierce Fordyce Oil
association. The Magnolia did get
the Vacuum oils, at greater expense,
from the Standard Oil Of Indiana,
Ebie said and added:
THE Vacuum company did not
know we were getting this soil"
Later the Vacuum company began
selling direct to Magnolia as well as
to Pierce Fordyce.
For the defense Ebie produced
figures to combat the states theory
that the Magnolia raised the Pierce

the two or three cases coming under
his personal knowledge, had been
rather indirect.
