Judge Hunt, In the I'nltcd States District Court today, dealt a severe blow to the New Haven defendants when ho declared the court would let In nil evidence concerning tne New Havcn'ji dabbling In electrlo lines In New Kngland, whether they wero In terstate lines or not. Tho ruling enmo when tho dofense ob jected to r letter read by the Govern ment concerning tho acquisition by the New Haven of a 10-mllo strip of trolley line running from Mcrldcn to Naug&tuck In Connecticut to shut oil competition from a proposed electric line paralleling the New Haven. The letter tended to show how the New Haven directors left no stone unturned to choke off all electric ns well as rail nnd water competition In New Kngland. Todav the Government entered Into the third stago of New Haven's "expansion period" under Charles S. Mcllcn-lts swal lowing up of trolley lines, Alrcndy the prosecution has Bhown how tho New Haven absorbed the rail and water trans portation facilities of New England. The defense objected to the Connecticut electric lino evidence on tho ground that It was not an Interstate line. "The Court," Bald Judge Hunt, In over rullnir tho nhloctlon. "will admit all evi dence tending to show the acquisition by the Now Haven of property to prevent competttlen, whether electric or steam or water. The New Haven Is nn Interstate system, and If these acts nllegcd Bhow a conspiracy to prevent Interstate compe tition, the evidence Is competent. Tho prosecution received Its first severe Jolt when Judge Hunt ruled out ovldcnco that John iX. Halt, who succeeded Charles P. Clark as president of the New Haven entered Into negotiations with "blind boss" Brayton, of Rhode Island, tb pre vent tho Central Railway and Electric Company, of New Britain, from building a trolley line paralleling the New Haven. It was Judge Hunt's flrst Important ruling against tho Government. The Government had sought to prove by a series of letters from Hall to Brayton that the former had said the New Haven wanted "killed off" a bill In the Legisla ture against trolley lines paralleling steam railroads. "Wo want no more such measures If It can be helped," one of the letters said. Tho bill was amended to provide that no electric line should parallel a steam lino "unless the public welfare de mand it."
