Co., Swears Vice President Hill DENIES ANY CONSPIRACY Methods of American Tobacco Coin' pany (n Securing Trade Gone Into In Detail by Vice President und General Manager of Concern- Tried to Aid Those Joliliere Who Ltioked After Its Interest fiise Will Drag Along for Softie Time Vet. Mr. Porclval S. Hill of New York City, one of the vice-presidents and the general manager of the American Tobacco Company, again took his pe tition on the witness stand bv depo sitionIn federal court today and told of the methods adopted by his com panv to ..acquire business. Mn Hill's deposition was being read when the court took recess for dinner. The point which It-Is sought to be made by the plaintiff, the Ware Kramer Company, Is that the Ameil can Tobacco Company endeavored by offering special inducements to to bacco jobbers to cause the tobaccos, cigars and cigarettes of this corpora tion to be displayed In show windows and advertised to the exclusion of the brands but out by Independent con cei'ns. In his deposition . Mr. Hill stated that It was and Is now the policy of his company to push the varl ous brands, and that it agents were careful In looking after the Interests of the defendant, the company was willing to show its appreciation In various ways. He held this to be legi tlmatrt.' as any company, either targe or small, has the privilege of suggest ing to Jobbers the manner In which certain articles should, be displayed In the show windows and advertised. From tho number of pages In Mr. Hill's deposition and If it is an index as to what will follow the conclusion of the case Is about as far In the dis tance as ever. It cannot be foretold when the Jury will get the case, and It is (lulte likely that the case will not he endr'i before three weeks or month. Jitters were read from Manager Hill to various Jobbers as to the demand for certain brands. To Chlsholm Brothers Company of Memphis, Tenn a check for $500 was mailed "in a spirit of good feeling." Other dealers were lent money. It being the policy of the American Tobacco Company to favor as much as possible the men handling their products. The plaintiff holds that this was done fur the pur pose of haying excluded the brands of other concerns. The question of damage to the trade in White Molls cigarettes..-manufactured by the Ware-Kramer.: Tobacco rmnpany, came up. Any trespass on the rights of White Bolls was a. ; tres pass, if anv. before the brand-. was arqulred by the Ware-Kramer To bacco Company.' Mr. (Parker contended and that the plaintiff got the benefit of It when It- paid a lower price for the brand. ' -. ' W. M... Carter, who Is alleged hy the plaintiff to have conspired' with the American Tobacco Company to destroy the cigarette trade of the plaintiff, left the employ of the American T6 baeco Company, January 30, 11MI9, and went with the Ware-Kramer ..Tobacco t'umtanv, Manager Hill has since seen Carter, one of the times being in New York and another In Wilson, N. C. at the hotel. - In his deposition Mr. Hill swears positively that Carter was not in the employ of the American Tobacco Com pany after he had left this corpora tion and that he was not the decoy, as alleged by the plaintiff. Carter went with the Ware-Kramer- To bacco Company and after that His connection with the other corporation ceased. f , ' " . REACH LEXINGTON "J- (Special to The Times.) Lexington N.
