Excerpt from The Waters Pierce Case in Texas: Compiled From the Series of Press Articles Entitled Battling With a Great Corporation
Sixth: It has repeatedly been charged and is widely believed that the original Waters Pierce Oil company was expelled from Texas mainly on account of its alleged connection or affiliation with the Standard Oil trust. I shall prove that all evidence intended to show that it was thus connected with the Standard was excluded from the jury, and that the presiding judge distinctly ruled that the jury should not take into consideration the fact that certain individual stockholders of the Waters Pierce had signed the Standard Oil agreement of 1882.
