lhal the referee conclusion was un.
authorized by any proof in the case,
and that the referee had neglected
to N AXE any finding of fact IN their
support. If the referee knew. or
thought he knew, of any proof in
the case that lent support to his
conclusions, why did ne not make
the corresponding findings? If he
was conscious that there was such |
proof, why did he assume that there
was such proof in the opinion which
led to such grave results?
"Here we have seven egregious
judicial errors, all relating to sim
pie issue in case, and contained in
less than three printed pages of the
referees opinion.
els not the record which the
referee has made for himself in the
Garrison case fair one by which to
measure his judicial capabilities?
He claims that he devoted an i'm
mense amount of time to the case,
and estimates his services to have
been richly worth the equivalent of
the entire annual salary of justice
of the Supreme Court of the u nited
States.
"The magnitude of the contro.
versy ought to have been sufficient
to stimulate alike his pride and his
ambition to make creditable Judi
cial performance. The suit in.
volved millions nominally and in
actual value to the extent of any
judgment that might be rendered
against Garrison's estate.
"lIave we the right to expect
from him in the future any better
judicial performance than has been
exhibited in the Garrison case?
Will it be quite safe to place our
referee in au exalted Judicial posi-
ton and take the. haz ard of having
his record in the G srrison case per
petuated during the balance of his
life by series of 'illegal and un.
just jndgments?"
