New York Supreme Judge Denounces
Man Who Hides Away.
New York , March 8. Supreme
Court Justice William J. Qaynor of
Brooklyn , speaking on "Corporate
Abuses" at the People's Forum , In
New Roehelle , Kcnlhlngly denounced
the man who hided away rather than
goes to court to testify.
Although the judge mentioned no
names , they were many in the audi
ence who construed the language aa
referring to John I ) . Rockefeller , for
whom many process servers have been
hunting vainly for weeks. Ho 1
wanted as a Witness In the suit of the
state of Missouri to take away the
Standard OH franchise In that statu
for alleged violation of the anti-trust
law.
Judge Cnynor , after speaking of the
bribery of legislators and government
olliclals by the exploiters of public
franchises and of their contempt and
disrespect for both the government
and the courts , said :
"What would a decent man hero In
this community do If ho heard an of
ficer was looking for him to subpoena
him to court to to tlfy ? Would no
hide In his house and have his wife
and children and servants He and say
they did not know whore he wan ?
Would he hurry Into some o < her state ,
or go aboard his yacht , If ho had one ,
and put to ana to escape service ? Or
would he come forward like a decent
man and nay : ' am her. ' "
