NEW YORK, May 23. • Mr Mellen, continuing his evidence before the Inter-State Commerce Commission, which is enquiring into the New York-New. Haven Railway Company's affairs, asserted that the late Mr J.; ,P. Morgan knew everything about the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company's affairs, including M!r Mellen's indictment for violating, the Sherman Anti-Trust Law.
