GROCERS GET MORE Time
Ten Days Given Them to File Briefs
in Custer Case.

The state has no direct evidence oil
violation of the antitrust laws by the
wholesale grocers, according to state
ments before the supreme court. John
s. Egan, assistant attorney general
told the court the state would be
forced to rely on external evidence
when defendant companies asked that
the petition in the custer case be made
more definite and certain.
Egan answered complaints of de-
PENDANTS that the petition was not suf-
ficiently definite. He said combina-
tons and agreements in restraint OF
trade were not made in a manner
which permitted the state to gather
direct evidence. No direct evidence
could be secured, he declared.
The court allowed attorneys for the
grocers ten days additional time in
which to file briefs defining their posi-
ton. The attorney generals office will
have twenty days additional time in
which to answer.
