Mr.. Con appeared seriously and deeply of:
the committee to witness that he had scru-

would introduce the name of the distinguished

whether he, the witness, had ever said to Mr.

name Of tho distinguished jurist. The;witness
replied that he had never So stated to Mr. Goff. |
Then senator Pound said how very certain he
was that Mr.. Goff regretted that the Recorder
inferred even II Mr.. Pentecost had said that
he would make his motion before the distin-
suished jurist mentioned, for every lawyer
would appreciate that there might be many
good and Legitimate reasons why one judge I.
