U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Northern West Virginia February 26, 1906 (Harrington v. Union Oil Co.)

DAYTON, District Judge

(after stating the facts as above). In my judgment, with the utmost respect for the judgment and learning of my predecessor, all- proceedings in this 'case had after the 20th of July, 1901, filing the answer of the defendant the Union Oil Company and the petitions and answers of the Equitable Trust Company and the Penn Oil, Gas & Mining Company, were wholly unwarranted.
