Standard Oil Appeals Bond Battle in Chicago Case
Standard Oil attorneys file assignment of errors in U S district court and seek appeal and writ of error in the U S circuit court. They ask for a supersedeas bond not larger than necessary to cover costs, while the government asks that bond be set at 29 240 000 to cover the Landis fine. The court grants the writ of error but delays on the supersedeas pending bond amount and orders the company to justify financial reasonability.
