Government subpoenas key Standard Oil witness in oil trust case
Chicago Oct 22 government counsel surprised defense by subpoenaing H C Martin chief of the tariff bureau of the Grand Trunk railroad to produce division sheets on Grand Trunk tariffs. Judge Merriss presided as the witness had just left the stand. The move sparked protest from Standard Oil attorney John S Miller who argued the government had no right to force immediate appearance. Special counsel Kellogg cited past practice and asserted rights to subpoena. Both sides agreed Martin would obtain the sheets before testimony concluded. He noted a 27 cent rate from Toledo to New England by applying Boston rates to Eastern towns. The division sheets sought related to that tariff.
