A harsh critique of attempts to prosecute John D. Rockefeller for Standard Oil crimes. The piece traces shifting expectations from fines to grand jury indictments and predicts a possible fine as a “purchase of a sack of peanuts.” It notes the case could move to Chicago and references District Attorney Morrison.
