h1r. D.-wetl. thoy arc all excellent msn. I
think htel Fuller would make Il rs1-c.ass Judge
lawyer. Cloudy aud ruloya PRACTICE IL too lAuavy
to justify them In tccottIng tho position. OF
course FulIer has a'bo good practice, which he
would not probably rolinquAh FOR tndicin! hon.
prs. Judge Dckey haH only como hare recently
and occupies the position Of CoEpofation-C Couu-
Bal. Tho others mentouel have larger incomes
from their practice than tho salary Of Judge
Dckoy.
