Ice Trust Trial Reduces Prices as Inmates Go to Workhouse
In Lucas County Ohio Prosecutor Lyman Wachenheimer secured indictments under the Valentine law against five ice concerns and ten officers for conspiring to fix ice prices. A Toledo jury found Miller of the Odeo Ice and Coal Company guilty, others pled guilty, and judges sentenced the defendants to fines and prison terms with potential reductions if restitution is made. Prices dropped temporarily, prompting possible damage suits by independents seeking threefold damages under Sec. 7.

Haskell Digs Up Law to Tighten Short Weight Crack
Col Haskell sealer of weights and measures says he will press false pretense charges to combat short weights. Judge Mulloway's ruling upholding the weight law triggers use of the false pretense statute with penalties up to $200 or a year in jail.
