Judge Of the superior Court talked for ii tiipc in a
pleasant way to his former and future associates.
Judge OGOrman. when he had listened 10 the last legal
argument in hi, term of service complimented by
several speeches from lawyers expressing their good
will. The pleasant messages to some Of the new
officials consisted partly Of announcements Of appoint
| ments Assistant District Attorney received by A
few Of the many applicants. Mr. Nicol has not, how
