Barnsdell's Position in Standard Oil Case
The missing Standard Oil contract proving a $7.5 million loan to T. N. Barnsdell is in Frank B. Kellogg's hands, a key exhibit in the government suit to dissolve Standard Oil. It reportedly shows Standard’s control of Barnsdell’s operations and secures the loan with Barnsdell’s stock and Oklahoma oil lands. Rockefeller testified that some security was nearly worthless. The government aims to prove Barnsdell acted as a dummy for Standard’s financing.
