The New Haven Verdict.

The verdict In the New Haven trial
scoms 70 have satisfied nobody-that is.
nobody except tie SIX of the eleven de-
PENDANTS who were acquitted. The govern
ment i. naturally disappointed, because 1t
secured no convictions The defence is dis
rleased. because acquttals we're not OBJ
tanned all along the line. The public IS
once more bcfogeed by the indecisiyeness
of the result.
1t would be improper to comment on the
issues involved in the trial, since five II
the defendants are liable to second prose-
cution. 1t is permissible, however, to sug-
gest that in one respect the verdict OF
Sunday was not quite as indecisive as II
seemed to be. 1t had some positive sig
nifcance in so far as the general attitude
of iuries toward defendants charged with
violations Of the Sherman antitrust law
Is concerned. II has been held by many
people that the criminal prosecution of
individuals under the antitrust law was
more or less of judicial farce. II wa
said that no Jury would fail TO acGult in
dividuals charged with violating law
which was SO little understood and which,
under a strict Interpretation, would bring
countless acts committed III the business
world under the faint OF liegaity. Ac-
cording to this rev. although corporations
may be disciplined for practices IN re-
straint Of trade. juries will always be
unwilling to bring in verdicts against in
diyiduals charged with restraining trade.
This extreme opinion was reeXpressed
Yesterday by The New York Times when
it said that 1T is practically Impossible
to convince twelve conscientious jurors
that the directors Of a great corporation,
men Of large business experience and high
standing. have knowingly engaged in
conspiracy to commit crime"
The New Haven trial showed, at least,
that such judgment is failacious. Juries
are undoubtedly becoming more and more
reluctant to acquit defendants in anti
trust suits on the ground that the law
was ill-defned and that It would not be
fair 10 apply it TO defendants of high
standing who were acting on the advice OF
counsel not clairvoyant enough TO inter
pref the law as the courts now interpret
lit. The fact that four jurors held out
against a general acquittal in the New
Haven case undoubtedly measures a
change of temper in juries. Personal ac-
Icountabiity under the Sherman act is no
longer universally accepted as chimerlcal.
The Sherman law has done more than
correct old monopolistic practices; It has
also worked into the general consciousness
to the extent Of altering the public's atti-
tude toward defendants charged with
countenancing or working for monopoly.
Few defendants in antitrust prosecu-
lions have hitherto felt nervous over their
chances of acquittal. The net result Of the
verdict of Sunday is that hereafter there
Twill be considerably more nervousness.
Confidence will undoubtedly decrease in
the impossibiity of convincing conscien-
tious jurors to find against defendants
if those jurors are satisfied that there IS
sufficient technical evidence of guilt

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-01-11


Because ne talked as he did, the danger Of
war was avoided from day TO day until
the Germans no longer found profit in
their submarine campaign. Then they
met our suggestions, because IT served their
purposes. Thus perhaps we avoided war;
certainly we have so far avoided war; but
we did not defend anything; we did not do
anything but talk.
When the Germans sank the Lusitana
it was not a question Of peace or of war;
it was a question of duty. That duty was
10 defend law and humanity. and this
might easily have involved this country IN
war But no other generation of Amer
leans has thought war too great price TO
pay for liberty or right. The German
idea was an assault upon all civilization
and q menace TO all democracy; it struck
1T us az it struck at all democracies. 1t
struck at us in the case of Belgium. be-
cause it assailed the principle; it struck al
US in the case OF the Lusitania, because it
murdered Americans. After the Lusi-
tania there could be no installing the
meaning of the German course or the di-
rection of American duty.
Germany guaranteed the integrity Of
Belgium and then she transformed her
guarantee into scrap Of paper" By
that act she demonstrated what she
thought Of pledges, of words. Yet for
nearly year we have spent our full dip
lcmatic energy in endeavoring to get Ger
many to sign another scrap Of paper, and
each time she has put her name down We
have hailed the fact as a proof of dip
lomatic victory, only to find the bond re
undated the next moment by some Ger
nan or Austrian deed. We are again ac
claiming the scrap Of paper" but why?
is IL not the same Germany that launched
the bolt at Belgium and murdered our
women and children on the Lusitanla?
1t is a bitter folly, this pretending. 1t
