No matter whether tho fine la large

years. In tho meantime there are
several other Indictments against the

Opinion Is divided .'is to whether tin

that Judge Uindls will deem it expe-

but there are a largo number of at

Intimates of the Judgos who ait- I irm-
ly ot tho opinion that the peualtv a
hosted will not be ono cent less than
that allowed by the statutes. The on-

to offer In Imposing less than u u axl

is a Ixmu fide reusou for chmenc-
I it this case Judge Uindls offend i!i
tilaudard Oil comuny full opportune

Such a contention Is not borne o n i;
the records In the case aud It U ui n
the records that Judge Uiudir wl -i

During tho trial It was fully shown '
that the Standard Oil company oi
Indiana is ono branch of a great cor-
IHiratlon with annual earnings of
rroiu $60000000 to $!i0000i'00. Thus
the maximum line of over t2100o.oou
possible under the conviction of the
company on l.llVJ counts of the In-
dictment represents piobaldy less
than one-half of Its tnuil earnings foi
ono eur. As tho period cou'ivd bv
I lie Indictment however was eigh-
teen months being portions of tune
years the maximum penalty could
hardly ho construed as a "cruel and
unusual punishment" by n court ')f
