that such an election would be pure

did argue the case referred to before
the court of Claims in the regu.
lar practice o! his profession,
at the time ne held no public office, and
the court adjudged it to bea just claim,
Judge Drake dissenting on legal
grounds alone and not because that fraud
was anywhere charged. The claim was
paid by the Treasury upon order of
the court. Secretary Bristow did no:
take half or anywhere near one hall Of
the claims but WAS paid very usual Tee
in such cases. He had nothing whatever
