MELLEN TESTIFIES
FOR GOYERNME
IN NEW HAVEN CASE
Former President Of Road Cordially
Greeted by Men Against Whom
He Appears as a Wit
ness,
THERE IS MUCH HANDsHAKINa
Gives His Occupation as Farmer"
and Tells of Railroad
Experience.
GOES FULLY INTO DETAILS

NEW YORK. Oct. 20.-Charles s.
Mellen, \one-time president Of the
New York. New Haven q Hartford
railroad, testified as a government
witness today against the eleven men
with whom he was formerly associ-
ated on the roads board Of directors,
whose trial on the charge of violating
the sherman antitrust law began one
week ago.
Standing before n government
map of the New England railroad
system with long pointer In his
hand. Mr.. Mellen spent two hours ex-
planning the nature OF the competi-
tive railroad conditions twenty-five
years ago, when the New Haven's al
legged conspiracy to control the entire
transportation traffic OF the six
states began.
Cordially Greeted,
The former New Haven president was
greeted with every evidence OF cor
diality by the defendants and there were
numerous handshakings. william Rookie
feller was among several OF the defend
ants who stepped forward to converse
with him.
Mr.. Mellen gave his occupation as "a
farmer-an ngriculturist" He told OF his
railroad experience. which dated back
to 1859. when he was a clerk In the
cashiers office OF the Northern Railroad
OF New Hampshire. Then he traced on
the map the routes OF the dozen New
England railroads which In 1880 had an
Independent existence.
He described their steamboat line con-
nections with New York and other points
and their rail connections with other
roads outside OF New England. The New
Haven at that time was not much OF q
freight line. The Old Colony, with i,s
steamboat lines from Fall River and
New Bedford to New York, was getting
the major share OF the traffic. The New
Haven's chief strategieal advantage al
tho time. the witness indicated. was IN
messenger traffic, as none OF the other
roads could maintain through passenger
service to New YORK except ofer fhs
New Haven tfeskA.
In. LIVELY Competition.
All thsss rosds maintained their freight
connections to points outside OF New
England through traffic arrangements
with outside lines. Mr. MeiIen explained
and contributed pro rata to the expenses
of about score Of freight soliciting or.
ganiEations which routed through traffic
over tho various connecting lines. These
various through routes were In lively
competition, Mr.. Mellen said.
Tho witness was still In the midst OF
his testimony when adjournment wal
taken until tomorrow. when completed
the government expects to use It as Q
basis upon which to build up the story OF
the gradual acquisition of the lines by
the New Haven, with which Mr.. Meller
became connected as vice president In
1891.
