Court rules on evidence in Standard Oil rate case
Judge Landis ruled the defense may prove Standard Oil did not knowingly and willfully accept unlawful rates. The court held a shipper need not learn rates only at the Interstate Commerce Commission, allowing rates learned from carriers. The ruling centers on mens rea in the Jewin act and the scope of proof for misapplied traffic rates.
