double that amount in penalties, were
made before the full bench in the
supreme judicial court today.
Sherman l.. Whipple who with Alex
ander Lincoln appeared for the plain
tiffs, opened the arguments. Moor
field Storer defended the company
and personal counsel represented in
dividual defendants.
The suit originally was brought by
trustees of the estate of Olea Bull

case was entered other minority
stockholders have been permitted to
join.

ceiFed and entered upon plan to eff
feet monopoly of all transportation
companies operating in New England

of the Boston and Maine railroad. and
