of the 10 German divisions in
Italy. The remaining forces are

number without seriously weak

an indictment against the New York

monopolize interstate commerce in

The court, by a 2-to-1 decision,

insufficient cause for quashing the
indictment. 1t said that while the
information was meager, fuller in

that the 'ictment was fatally
defective" to Business Orpaniza-

rightly dismissed.
The latters' alleged completely"

continuing conspiracy to unrea-

and to monopolize part of inter-
state trade among the several States
in such products.
