Mr.. Mellen finally admitted that at the
time the New England's financial condi-
ton was ION the ragged edge" the New
Haven required the prepayment in one
direction, but he was not sure about the
other. Mr.. Mel!en apparently scored a
point for the defense when Richard
Lindabury got him to state that since
the New Haven reduced its rates to the
West against the New York. Central,
there had been no advance. ~s
