Rebate cases rise at Supreme Court over railroad rebates
The Supreme Court heard arguments today in the government’s rebate cases against the packing houses of Armour Swift Morris and Cudahy in Kansas City and against the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad. The four packers faced $15.08 fines in Missouri for accepting rebates on foreign shipments, with jurisdiction and continuous-offense arguments central. The railroad case, tied to the same rebates, awaits the court’s decision, while petitions in related Illinois actions were noted but not acted upon.

Walsh Discusses His Case After Bank Downfall
Chicago, Jan. 3. John R. Walsh for the first time since the bank failures two years ago spoke on the troubles that led to last Saturday’s verdict convicting him of violating national banking laws. He called the jury verdict the so called verdict and said his “s privileged findings of fact” would not stand review by the nation’s highest courts. He argued the president should judge investments and noted bad judgment is not proof of intent to defraud. A Harvard, Michigan juror Bilbert Palmer said Walsh might have changed his verdict and would have acted differently if allowed, adding she would have blown out her brains rather than sign a guilty verdict if she could change it. Palmer, now a physical wreck, spoke in an affidavit recounted by lawyer J. Hendricks and sent to Walsh’s attorneys.

City Lighting Bills Hear Hearst Appeal in Court of Appeals
Albany reports arguments heard in the Court of Appeals on William Randolph Hearst’s appeal from the Appellate Division ruling denying a permanent injunction to stop paying gas and electric bills in New York City. Hearst alleges the charges are exorbitant and fraudulent, with the city receiving no value. The case traces to 1904 actions seeking to block payments between January and March 1905, with prior rulings sustaining the defense of good faith by the mayor and controller and rejecting a broader injunctive remedy.
