he went down to Greenville, Tenn, to defend
Capt. johnson, who killed Mai. Henry, he came
pretty near drowning the old backwoodsmen
who were on the jury. They cried and moaned
and made up faces all through his speech, and
when it came time to bring in their verdict
they nearly choked to death with emotion.
Dan even got the old judge a-bellering. OF
course the prisoner was acquitted. Now / see
that Dan has been retained to defend young
Hazeltine, the Stevens Point lawyer. who shot
and killed Banker Morse, the alleged destroyer
OF his happiness. The tragedy occurred some
time last Spring, and attracted considerable at
tention in Northern Wisconsin, where the prin-
cipals were well known. It's dollars to walnuts

firesides and that sort of thing the jury up
there will just cave in at the chest and acquit
