ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER
on his occasional visits to the court room sits.
of course, with the counsel for the government.
Upon his arrival he makes an obeisance to the
court, with an old-fashioned graceful courtesy,
to which, according to the complaints of some
Of the older members of the bar, the new gen.
Grafton OF lawyers are strangers. The Attorney
General seldom cOnverses while in the court
room, but observes the proceedings with close
attention. When he does rise In court he
speaks with ease and elegance. His courteous
difference to the court and form OF addressing
the court shows him to be great respecter Of
the traditions and conventionalities Of the pro-
fession. LAYERS who never, through associa-
lions or from taste, acquired those habits, are
apt to construe them as being too formal and to
class them as the ruffles and frills of the At
torney Generals rhetorical outfit. The
attorney General, when plain Mr..
counsel, and took part in the arguments in
court that preceded the finding Of the present
Indictment. After his appointment as ATTORNEY
General the Importance Of the case and the in
terest which he took init led him to follow some
distinguished precedents and give his personal
attention to the prosecution. Though his Off
cial duties prevented him from being present
In court very often during the last trial. he made
q careful study Of the proceedings from day to

prise 1t is expected that the Attorney Gene

The defendants and their counsel have been as
