Alleged Conspiracy Unfolded by Mellen at Trial
New York October 22 Official steps by the New York New Haven and Hartford board in pursuance of an alleged conspiracy to control New Englands traffic were presented at the trial of eleven New Haven directors. Minutes and letters by Charles Mellen were read. Morgan Rockefeller and Depew named as co conspirators. Evidence showed a 1882 Sound Lines rates pact and later attempts to route traffic away from rivals. The government argued a tripartite deal sought to exclude New England traffic and force concessions, with the 1910s era purchase of the New York and New England stock by the New Haven funded by a 5 million loan.
