The CASE OF PHAIR.-Coi W. e. Veazay,
of Rutland. the most able of Phair's conn
sci, Is understood to have drawn out OF the
case on the plea of press oil business.
Another Rutland lawyer in the case seems,
from his eccentric actions. to be in his
second childhood. His principal hold is
blub6ering, bnt his tears are never con-
tagious, his lachrymose performance gen.
orally causing smiles among his audiences.
This lawyers argument befOre Governor
Proctor IN the Downing hearing on Thurs
day, was most extraoI binary. After VAIN
ing Ellis Exeelleney" that the eyes of the
State, the country and myriads of worlds
were upon him, the speaker dissolved into
tears. Seeing a smile on the face of an
opposing lawyer, however, he broke out
'(Boo-hoo- hoo-hoo). Don't laugh (boo-
hoo) at me. (Boo- hoo-hoo.) You had
better wait until | am in my grave
before you laugh. -hoo-hoo). This
raising of the flood gates and the allusion
to grave possibilities are supposed to have
broken the Governor completely up and
caused the repfieve.- Rutland Cor. Spring
