L. & N. Delays in Forcing Railroad Records Access
In Louisville on February 18 Judge Walter Evans sustained a motion to quash the summons in the mandamus suit by District Attorney George Du Belle. The action seeks access to all L N records and correspondence after August 28, 1906 for the Interstate Commerce Commission. The ruling rests on a clash between the defunct commerce court act and Kentucky practice codes, delaying the case at least thirty days. Immediate steps were to serve the railroad with summons and a certified petition copy, with further action set thirty days after service.
