Show NEW HAVEN OFFICERS ARE AGAIN INDICTED Federal Graud Jury Finds True BUI in Sherman-law Violation Charges. NEW YORK, 1'eb. 26. Tho federal grand jury today returned a superseding supersed-ing indictment against twenty-one directors, direc-tors, former directors and counsel of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company, charging violation of the Sherman antitrust law. The indictment, in-dictment, similar to the one returned last November, was brought to overcome over-come objections made by certain defendants de-fendants to the manner in which the first indictment was secured. In the objections to the first indictment indict-ment it was asserted that tho clerk of the district court, and not his deputies, should have drawn the names of tlie iurors. While these objections were overruled on demurrer by Judge Humphrey, Hum-phrey, it was decided to have a new indictment returned so as not to give an appearance of unfairness on the part of the government aeaiust the. defendants, defend-ants, and also to avoid an appeal from Judge Humphrey's ruling. |
