Washington, Nov. 9.—One the
most notable cases ever brought' uh^r
the Sherman anti-trust act was on the
docket for consideration today th the
supreme court of the United States
under t*he popular title of the ' “cotton
corner case.” -V
The case arose out of the indict
ment in New York of Janies A. Patten,
Eugene G. Scales, Frank ^B^ Hay he , and
William P. Brown on a charge
spiracy in violation of the Sherman
anti-trust law. Several counts qf th^
Indictment were held by the United
States circuit court for southern New
York to be invalid. The government
appealed to the, supreme court from
this holding and the technical legal
questions arising out of that appeal
were up for ar^ment today before the
court. I
The indictment charged the defehdi
ants Vith conspiring to buy enough
cotton on the New York cotton
change to control the price and then to
sell |t at. arbitrary prices. .The de
fendants effete charged-with knowing
that tW natural result^ of their acts
would be to obstruct, trade in. cotton
and injure bona tide spinners and man-
Ufaqturers'by compelling then^, in' btfW
ing cotton to compete with “short sell
ers” who would be purchasing uhdeT
the abnormal conditions produced by
the “corner.” ~ ‘
Tl^e lower court held, that “running
a: corneif^^ on the market was not a
violation of the Sherman anti-trust law..
T^is holding was based on the theory
that the “corner” had no direct'ef^eC^;
