U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Eastern Missouri April 27, 1910, No. 5,753 (United States v. Waters-Pierce Oil Co.)

PER CURIAM.

This has been a most interesting trial to the court. The cases here are not particularly important from the. amounts involved, either to the government, with its great wealth, or to the defendant, with its supposed great wealth. The principles, perhaps, are.

Now, in disposing of this matter, I wish to commence at the end, instead of at the beginning.
