Decision of Justice Swayze Estab-j
lishes a New Precedent That
May Have Far Reach
ing Effect.
Trenton, N. J., March 15. Justice
Swnyzo signed an order today com
pelling the National Packing company,
Armour & Co., Morris &. Co. nnd Swift
& Co. to produce their books of min
utes of stockholders and directors he
fore the Hudson county grand Jury,
which has boon Investigating the cold
storage plants, with a view to deter
mining whether nn Illegal conspiracy
exists to keep up the prices of food
products.
Justice Swayze later held a confer
ence with Prosecutor Pierre Gnrven,
and It was arranged that Justice
Swayze shall determine the exact con
ditions under which the books shall ,
be produced.
The decision of Justice Swayze, al- t
though anticipated by Prosecutor Gnr
ven, wns a surprl'e to th- beef trust i
men and corporation lawyers here, In
asmuch as It estubllshea u precedent
which Is new In this state and may
be furreachlng in its effects.
Heretofore it has been generally ac- I
cepted, although not judicially deter
mined, that the production of books
of corporations cannot be compelled
In criminal proceedings. This view
Justice Swayze holds to be Inconsist
ent with the powers delegated to
grand juries aud the duties imposed
ui)on them In this state.
In his opinion Justice Swayze con
sidered two points urged on behalf
of the meat trust. One was that the
prosecutor failed to show what cause
was ponding in which tho books might
be required as evidence nnd the other
that Justice Swnyze had no power to
compel them to be brought within the I
state. .
The first question Justice Swayze i
held wns to be decided by the power
of the grand Jury to compel the pro
duction of evidence without specifying.
what case It had under consideration.
Admitting that in Pennsylvnnln and
probably in New York a grand jury
must issue its subpoenas in n par
ticular pending case, Justice Swayze
held that in this state there Is a dif
ferent rule. Often n crime may have
been committed nnd inny be notorious.
he said, although the perpetrator may
be unknown, and In other cases there
may be grave suspicion that a crime
has been committed, although such
suspicion may be far from certainty.
lie added:
"It would thwart the administration
of justice to hold that tho case to be
Investigated must be definitely speci
fied In tho subpoena, for not only may
the grand jury be ignorant of the
fncts, but to give the name of the sus
pected Individual or even to describe
the supposed ofTense mny warn the
offender nnd give him a chance to es
cape." The question of his power to order
the production of tho books, Justice
Swayze held, must depend upon the
construction plnced upon the words
"within the Judicial control."
Justlco Swayze assumed the broad
ground that these words meant not
the control of the particular judge, but
the control of the Judiciary, or, In oth
er words, of the Judicial depnrtment of
the government. In this view of tho
case lie held that the power to compel
the production of the books Is unques
tionable. It was also argued by counsel that
the corporation act would not have
... . . 1 . t . I . 1 , .. At.-
i-uiuuiuiuuivu iuu ure ui iiiu curpura-
t Ion's books In criminal proceedings
since at the time the act was passed ,
the right to compel a corporation to
produce Its books In a criminal pro
ceeding wns doubtful.
In disposing of this question Justice
Swayze says:
"Whatever may be said of tho privi
lege of n corporation against self in
crimination, It certainly wns never
supposed that n corporation whoso
books contained evidence which would
be Important lu a criminal proceeding
against Individuals could not bo com
pelled to produce these books for the
purpose of affording such evidence.
"I un of the opinion, therefore, that
I ought to mako the order. The ques
tions which have nrlsen ns to the
rights of corporations under tho bill of
rights to be protected ngulnst unrea
sonable searches and seizures and the
privilege against self incrimination
embodied lu the bill of rights of the
federal constitution do not arise In
this case since the prosecutor asks
only for certain specified books, and
It is not claimed that the production
of those books within tho state will
interfere with the business operations
of these companies elsewhere."

proves all he asserts it will. Trapley
is trying to obtain a patent on his
formula.
By his process, which consists of
the mixing of three inexpensive and
common chemicals into a fluid, black
cotton can bo produced at an expense

gether tho two visited tho Patent of
fice and. told the Assistant Commis
sioner o? Patents, Cornelius C. Bil
lings, of tho wonderful discovery.
Commissioner Billings Immediately
gave Trapley the required papers to
make application for a patent. Trap
ley said to Mr. Billings:
"After fifteen years of experiment
ing 1 have discovered a process by
which black roses nnd black cotton
mny be produced. The formula Is
Inexpensive. It consists of three In
expensive chemicals which are dilut
ed with water.
"I have taken an ordinary rose
bush and planted It In rich earth, and
by feeding It this chemlcnl fluid hav
produced a rose as large ana heavy
as an American Beauty and as black
as coal. The petals of this rose have
the same gloss and lustre ns the
American Beauty. The feeding pro
cess Is exactly the same as watering
a plant.
"As the first Bhoots of tho bush
push up through the earth an extra
ordinary darkness can be notlcca. As
they grow their colors become dark
er. The same Is true of the foliage.
The leaves of tho bush are almost
black. The buds when they appear
aro blank.
"One of tho peculiarities of the
process Is that after a certain num
ber of applications during the first
year, it can be stopped, and for two
seasons the plant will bear black
flowers. If the feeding process Is not
continued In tho third year the bush
will again assume its natural state.
"What Is true of the rose is truu
of all other flowors and also of cot
ton. By tho use of my chemical se
cret I can produce black cotton and
It will cost llttlo or nothing as com
pared with black dye. One of the
features Is that the chemicals seem to
have a general good effect on the
plants. Those I have experimented
upon have grown to extraordinary
size and aro of a fine fibre.
" The day my process is protected
y patent I can dispose of it for $500,
000. This proposition has been
made mo."
