He undertook to show that the fed eral merger suit, which had been In stituted during, the Roosevelt admin istration had been dismissed at the dictation of Attorney-General Wlck ersham, for the Inadequate reason that the Massachusetts legislature had passed the holding bill und?r which the consolidation was effected.
