New Haven Indictment Question Tangles Cruz of DOJ
The Department of Justice may seek criminal indictments against New Haven Railroad directors only under the antitrust act, with decisions hinging on a New York meeting and on the ICC findings about alleged conspiracies in restraint of trade. Jurisdiction and past reluctance by prosecutors are noted as factors in a potential grand jury decision. The ICC report and Senate hearings shape the context for possible actions beyond civil dissolution efforts.
