The National Reform association baa
followed the lead of the National Pris-
on association by calling for "a re-
construction of the ethical code of law
yers. 1t is felt that the frightful in
crease of crime can never be checked
SO long as attorneys, who are admitted
TO the bar as the sworn ministers of
justice, ere willing to sell their serv-
ices to secure immunity for the worst
OF criminals, not only by securing the
Fair trial, which is the right of every
accused person, but by using their le-
gal ability for the perversion OF law
and evidence and the misleading NJ
1uries. Is there any possible form Of
wrong, any dishonest combination for
private or public plumber, which does
not find able and willing lawyers to
oress 1t up and parade 1t before the
courts in the robes of innocence and
virtue? Yet there have been lawyers
ike Horace Binney and Abraham Lin
coin, who would not thus prostitute
their powers and we would gladly
give full credit to the claim made by
Hon. Joseph II. Choate for bfs 90 000
brother lawyers, that you will look in
vain elsewhere for more spotless hon.
or, more absolute devotion, more pa
tent Industry, more conscientious 6deI-
ity than among these"
