alton of evidence introduced by The
state tending to show any of the
things said or done by the defend
ants previous to 1906, or as far back
as the time when the alleged conspr-
acy for the division of the territory
among the cotton oil mills was made
Attorney General Charles West
cited authorities tending to uphold the
contention of the state that where
Il combination had been formed Or
had existed several years before the
actual commission of any wrongful
act. that when the act was commit
ted, all evidence leading up to its
commission was admissible. West
contended that the alleged organized
conspiracy organized in 1906 was
closely connected with the alleged
regulation of prices at Crescent, as
charged in the indictment and he pre-
sented the court with a statement
showing the actual shipments from
that point during 1909 tailed exactly
with the agreement said to have been
made by Coyle and the other defend
ants in 1906,

Continuing Judge Huston said, "ths
Indictment charges that the defend
ants conspirei to and did increase
the price of ginning cotton from $3.50
to s. per bale, which is alleged to be
an act in restraint of trade, and the
evidence in general shows that at the
time these acts were committed, the
gins at Crescent, each being owned
by n separate concern, participated
and each of them did the same thing
on the same day; the evidence fur
ther shows that each of the super
intendents or managers in charge of
these gins did it upon orders from
headquarters of the different con-
Germs, and it must be true that if the
various owners had notice of what
the others were going to do and did
likewise. then there must be some
kind of an unlawful combination.
The allegations that the acts were
in accord with the general design.
committed at a subsequent
date, is shown by the evidence. The
theory of the defense that the local
conditions at Crescent forced the
raising OF the price of ginning cot
ton from $3.50 to 81 is a question OF
fact which the jury will have to de-
eide. The evidence shows that there
was n design some three years be
fore to monopolize the cotton terri
ory by the defendants, and the fact /

Other Motions Overruieo.

The defense then introduced a mo
ton that the jury be instructed TO
peremptorily return a verdict for the
defense and a motion asking Tlat the
Judge state to the jury he believed
the evidence insufficient and advise
the jury to acquit. Both motions
were overruled.
Coyles attorney. C. G. Horner ar.
gued to the court that Coyle was in
dlcted as a private individual for
acts alleged to have been committed
as an officer Of a corporation. Judge
Huston said: 81 will not now pass
upon that question. If | should later
come to the conclusion that Coyle
did not do the same things as an in

the state an opportunity to test the
point upon an appeal"
An attempt to prove the cost OF
ginning bothwithin Oklahoma and
in other states was made by the de-
tense through two state witnesses, J.
p. Hess, manager of the Crawford
gin at Crescent, and Elmer Baker,
secretary of the Farmers Cooperative
gin, operating in that district. The
court overruled the Introduction of
