make is that oftentimes his zeal I'm the
discharge Of his duties in the trial of

officer representing the commonwealth.
JUDGE STANTON-He is a most ef-
ficient public officer, and believe that

which has since given him such sig.
nal success at the bar and in the Office

combined force and astuteness which
he made on me at that time has beer
strengthened as each year has brought
him broader opportunities for display
ing his talents. John X. Jones can bC
counted on to make the most of every
opportunity and rising to the level Of
every occasion,
