Synopsis of IVMHon
The Kovernnient presents Its peti
tion In accordance with the rule of
I the court.
! The Indictment in the case was for
;i violation or the Hlkins Act of Keh-
ruary 1th. ItHKI, niakii)' it a crime
j to accept a concession whercliy any
property Is transported in Interstate
commerce at less than the published
ilul tiled rate.
It was proved at the trial that the
Cliirac.o X- Alton Railway Company
transported 10 lOasf St. I.ouis, Illi
nois, and St. I.ou'is, .Missouri, 1 Ill
carloads of oil.
In all dealings between shipper ami
list f net transaction, mid handled as a
dstinct transaction, nnd handled as a
distinct piece of business.
The published and filed rates of
this business were eighteen cents per
one hundred pounds to Kast St. I.ouis
and nineteen ane one-hnlf cents to
St. Louis. The Standard Oil Coni-
lanv actually settled on the basis of
ix cents to East St
the shipper actually knew what the
law ful published and riled rate was.
The Kovernnieui contends that this
is an Impossible rule, that it is con
trary to the purpose of the K'lkius
act: that it is contrary 10 the general
rule uppltcable in criminal cases:
that put lino effect it would make of
ihe Interstate commerce act "a mere
will o' Ihe wisp of legislation, a
Idinutom statute. destitute of
strength or substance."
The Kovoruniont contends that in
the pet It Ion the court of appeals has
misstated not only the record as to
what evidence was admitted, but has
also misstated the construction which
the trial judge placed upon the stat
ute, and that for thts reason there
should be 11 thorough re-argument
upon the only preposition as to which
1 the ruling of the trial judge up to
Attorney-General of the Culled llu' verdict of guilty, is reversed.
States who appeared In court on be-1 ''"he government contends that an
half of the petition for rehearing of 'examination of the record will show
the Standard Oil case. that the court did not rule out the.
.testimony tending to shew want of
lo Ignorance on Ihe part of the Stand- j knowledge, but Unit, on the contrn

has not correctly slated how ihe
judge ruled on this subject.
It is said In the opinion tb.tt he re
fused to admit evidence to the ef
fect that the Standard Oil Coinpanv
did inn know w bai the lawful rate
was. The fact is. and the rei-.ird so
shows, that all evidence lending to
show ignorance mi the part of the
Standard Oil Company was admitted
i for the consideration of ihe Jury.
the legal rate was admitted for the.
consideration of the jury, and that
there was ample evidence to show
that the defendant did know what
Ihe legnl rate was.
In other w;irds, the government
contends vigorously and wiih refer
ences to Ihe record that the reversal

trial Judge with reference to ignor

These fads are admitted.
The S'nndard Oil Company Ititer
losed the claim In defense that tlu
Alkies act was unconstitutional, that
the tariffs had not been posted Hi
wo public places at the stations and
interposed many technical defenses
On but a single point Involved in
he trial up to the return of the ver
lict of utility are Ihe rulings if tlv
i- nl Judge criticized liy Ihe court of
ipneals. In all oilier particulars his
rulings are sustained.
The point on which the trial judg'1
U reverse! by lbe court of appeals
elates to his rulings on evidence mid
ills charge to the jury with reference
This evidence wis largely that of j defense Is concerned, is based upon
