Show SUGAR TRUSTS' DENIAL. Officers Had No Knowledge of Fraudulent Fraud-ulent Underweighing. New York. "No attempt whatever has been made to shield anyone and your board has no reason to believe and does not believe that any officer or director of this company had any knowledge of or participation In this fraudulent underweighing." This was the answer made by the board of directors of the American Sugar Refining company on Wednesday Wednes-day to the charges that some one "higher up" in the so-called sugar trust was responsible for the use of doctored seals on the Williamsburg dock by which the United States was defrauded out of more than $2,000,000 In duties. |
