Attorney General argues rehearing in Standard Oil case
The Attorney General appearing for the petition for rehearing contends that the court erred in interpreting the statute by imposing no duty on the shipper and allowing ignorance as a defense. He asserts the evidence shows actual knowledge, the statute’s purpose is defeated by the ruling, and the trial judge’s discretion was misapplied. The case centers on transportation of property at an unlawful rate involving Standard Oil entities.
