LAST OF A GREAT LAWYER.
Funeral Obsequies over the Remains Of
Leonard SWEET.


CHICAGO, June 1.-THE funeral OF
Leonard SWEET, whose death occurred
Saturday, took place to-day. He was
the last Of Chicago's most famous trio OF
lawyers, with w. O'Brien and Emory
A. Storrs. For two years he had been
victim of diabetes, and a sudden cold
aggravated the malady and overcame
his vitality.
Mr.. SWEET was born near Turner, Me-,
Aug IL, 1925. He was educated at
North Yarmouth academy, and at
Waterville, now Colby university, but
was. not graduated. He read law in
Portland, and enlisted in the Next
can war, and at its close 184S settled in
Bloomington, Ill. He travelled in the
circuit in fourteen counties, and was an
intimate friend of Abraham Lincoln and
David Davis. In 1855 he removed to
Chicago. He served one term in the
state legislature, lS5S-60. In the course
of his practice Mr.. SWEET has defended
twenty men indicted for murder, secur-
ing the acquittal of nineteen and slight
punishment for the other one. He has
also been retained in criminal cases in
nearly every part of the country, though
his professional work has been mainly
devoted to civil suits. His success is at
tributed to his careful personal atten-
ton to details and his eloquence as an
advocate. He has rendered much gratui-
tous service to workingmen, servants and
other poor Chants.
