R.K. Gillett, the counsel associated with
Charles 0Connor in the trial Of the rebel
ex-President, is n native of Columbia coun-
ty. New York. At an early age, before he
commenced the study of the law, he took
up his residence at 0gdcnsLurg, St. Law
renee county, where he resided for many
years. He studied law in the office of Silas
Wright, at Canton, when Mr.. Wright was
Postmaster-using part of his law office for
a postofice. 1t was not many years before
Mr.. Gillett became one of the most promi-
nent lawyers and politicians north Of Al
bany. He was member of Congress, and
member Of the State Legislature for many
years. Under President Polk he was Reg
lister Of the Treasury and Solicitor Of the
Treasury. At the time Jefferson Davis was
Secretary of War, under President Pierce,
he was counsel to the Attorney General,
Commissioner Of Claims, Commissioner Of
Patents, and since has held several minor
Offices at Washington. As public speak
er at the bar OF on the stump, he was the
most popular-exceptP Preston any
in that part Of the State. He ranks high
as a criminallavyer, and has had much eK-
perience in military life.
