d Tlieis' Owe Case !
For ten years' the anti-trust lawyers have been attacking the business methods that
make it possible to give the public the best quality food at the lowest prices.
In our last ad we told you how Federal Judge WH. At well, at Dallas, threw the anti
trust lawyers and all their inflammatory charges against A&P right out of his court.
But the anti-trust lawyers were not satisfied with decisions against them by three
federal judges, i
They, still wanted to 'destroy, A&IY
They Appealed to New Orleans
So they appealed Judge AtwelUs decision to the three-judge Circuit '
Court at New Orleans.
One of the three, Judge Curtis L. Waller, agreed with Judge Atwell that
the case should be dismissed.
The other two members of the Circuit Court, Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson.
'Jr., and Judge Allen Cox, although saying the case should be tried, agreed
that the indictment was vague and contained many allegations which were
"inflammatory.;'''
They decided that Judge Atwell at Dallas .should protect A&P from these
inflammatory allegations and could order the anti-trust lawyers to supply
the defendants with a bill of particulars.
So the case was back in Dallas again, '..
Judge Atwell, carrying out the decision t)f the Circuit Court, struck
out the inflammatory matter. 1
He said that without this inflammatory and prejudicial matter the Grand
Jury might never have returned the indictment.
Judge Atwell said to the anti-trust lawyers:
"There are many statements in the indictment which are not at all
in violation, and are highly prejudicial and inflammatory"
Tl anti-trust lawyers objected. . They advanced an amazing argument!
They said that the removal of their inflammatory allegations (which all four
judges had agreed did not belong in the indictment) destroyed their case.
Judge Atwell instructed the anti-trust lawyers to furnish the court
with a bill of particulars. In short, he wanted specific charges instead
of vague generalities. He set the deadline for furnishing this material
at January 15th, 1911.
When the anti-trust lawyers twice asked for more time, pleading sickness
among their staff, Judge Atwell extended the time to February 25th because
he believed that they were honestly trying, in good faith, to prepare the
material he had requested.
Actually, it developed, they were using the time to get ready to drop the
case in Dallas and start it in another court.
They Quit in Dallas
On February 2Tth, while the judge was still waiting for his answer, and
without any previous notice to him, the anti-trust lawyers gave a story
to the newspapers in Washington, announcing that they were dropping
the case in Dallas. ,
They said that it was their intention "to file a substantially similar suit
in an appropriate jurisdiction at an early date."
The "early date" turned out to be the same day.
As soon as one anti-trust lawyer killed the case in Dallas, another anti
trust lawyer filed a new case in Danville, Illinois. This new case made
most of the same allegations that had been made and dropped in Dallas;
and that are being made against us today.
. 4
, So now, according to the anti-trust lawyers, all four judges who had
ruled on the Dallas case were wrong. , -
Despite defeats in three federal courts in widely separated parts of the
country, they continued Jheir campaign to destroy A&P.
When Judge Atwell heard of their action he ordered the anti-trust lawyers
to prepare an order for his signature dismissing the Dallas case.
In signing this order he said to the anti-trust lawyers:
"This nolle prosequi does not have the sanction or approval of this
court. That is not necessary, nor that the government ask for the
court's approval.
"It is, however, a matter that may be presented to the other court and
may be of interest to the people at large." .
So after their efforts to destroy A&P had failed in Washington, D. C,
Wilson, North Carolina, and Dallas, Texas, the anti-trust lawyers moved
on to Danville, Illinois
They were still determined to destroy this company which had brought
ittoie and better food at lower cost to millions of American families.
They Were Wrong Three Times Before!
Three times the anti-trust lawyers went into federal courts and made serious and damaging charges against A&P.t
Three times federal judges said the anti-trust lawyers were wrong and rendered decisions against them.
In previous ads in this series we told you about these other anti-trust "cases" involving us, which the judges said were not cases at all.
We think you should know about these previous cases, because once again the anti-trust lawyers are making damaging "allegations" that
could seriously affect our business if they were believed by the public.
There was the time in Washington, D. C, when they
said we and other good American citizens conspired
to fix the price of bread in that city.
This was the time Federal Judge T. Alan Goldsborough
ruled that A&P and the other defendants did not even
need to put in a defense. He instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict of "not guilty".
It was the time Judge Goldsborough said to the anti
trust lawyers:
"If you wire to show this record to any experienced
trial lawyer in the world, he would tell you that
there was not any evidence at all.
"Honestly,! have never in my over forty years' ex
perience seen tried a case that was as absolutely
devoid ot evidence as this. That is the honest truth,
I have never seen one like it."
There was the time in Wilson, North Carolina, they
said we and other good American citizens conspired
to fix prices paid farmers for their potatoes.
This was the time Federal Judge C. C. Wyche directed
the jury to bring in a verdict of "not guilty".
It was the time Judge Wyche said to the anti-trust
lawyers:
"In my opinion there is no testimony produced from
-which it can reasonably be inferred that the de
fendants entered into a combination to depress or
lower the price of potatoes.
"I might say that I never tried a case in my life
where a greater effort, more work, more investi
gation had been done, combing almost with a fine
tboth comb to gather evidence.
"But, as was said a long time ago, you can't make
brick without straw, and you can't make a case
without facts."
There was the time in Dallas, Texas, when they made
practically the same "allegations" they are making,
today.
This was the time Federal Judge W. H. Atwell ruled
that the ca.se should not even be tried. He said that the
indictment contained inflammatory statements that he
would not permit to be presented to a jury.
It was the time Judge Atwell said to the anti-trust
lawyers:
"I know of no American rule, and I wish I had the
power to underscore the word 'American,' which
permits us to try a man because of his size.
"If I thought I was presiding over a court and that,
I might have to sentence some person because he
was a great big fellow, or because he was a Lilli
putian, I would feel like resigning. God knows we
don't want it ever to occur in America that the size
is going to determine whether a man is guilty or
innocent,"
