merly United States Attorney for the
Eastern District of Virginia, that he was
entitled to special compensation for ser
vices rendered, or offered TO be rendered.
as such District Attorney to Peters. re-
ceiver OF the Exchage National Bank,
Norfolk. was decided against him by the
Supreme Court of the United States to-
day in an opinion delivered by by Justice
Harlan.
Mr. Gibson founded HIS claim upon Sec
ton $50. Revised Statutes. which says
that all suits In which the United States,
its agents or officers are concerned shall
be conducted by the attorneys In the dis
tricts where they are begun.
Justice Harlan said that the suit
brought by the receiver was such suit,
but that no provision was made in the
law for special compensation to the at
torney for his services In connection with
Il. and that therefore his suit against the
receiver TO recover compensation was
not well founded.
The judgment OF the circuit court us
