Oil Trust Hit For $1 623 900 in Texas Court Ruling
The Texas Supreme Court upheld state actions against the Waters Pierce Oil Co. and affirmed receiverships. Justice Day’s opinions backed state courts in appointing receivers and punishing alleged price controlling conspiracies. The ruling, seen as a major victory for law and order, may influence ongoing Pierce trial proceedings in Texas. A separate report notes a gasoline explosion near Abilene that killed a man and child, with several family members fatally burned.
