Move in Oil Suit Reveals Letters On Payments
In the government case against Standard Oil, Frank B. Kellogg moved to compel producing letters he says show payments by a Illinois agent for information on independent interests. Witness C. T. Collings resisted, seeking counsel advice. Kellogg displayed twenty 1898 letters from M. Maxon to Collings urging payment as Christmas approached. Trann, a Peoria special agent, declined to identify the letters. Other witnesses discussed alleged unfair sales methods, all denied by the witnesses.
