 Justices Cook. Etheridge and Ho1- den were of the opinion that the evidence was sufficient to support the finding of the lower court. and that all of the companies, with but five exceptions. are guilty of having en- tered into trust and combine to fix rates as alleged In the bill of com plant.

 Seize Funds
 Justices Anderson, Sykes and Smith, the latter being chief justice were of the opinion that the evidence was insufficient to support the find. ling, of the lower court and held tha' none of the appellant companies wers guilty of entering into a trust oi combine They held that the bill O. complaint should be dismissed as tt all of the companies.
