interest Colonel Daley had always taken In
the progress of the young members OF the
bar and young men who were studying law,
and declared that Colonel Daley had gradu-
ated more lawyers than any other member
OF the bar. There was never time when
there were not at least one or two young
men in his office studying law under his di-
rection. Interest in the young men did not
cease when they ceaoed to be students, but
he was always ready with advice or more
practical assistance to help them alcng in
their cases whenever such help was needed.
He had known Colonel Bailey intimately

resident Of the city, and looking backward
over tuose itIs anu eVenlIul vars, ne was
unable to recall an incident In his pro-
fessional career that was not wholly to his
credit.

throughout it all the habits and conduct OF
the man strengthened the good opinion
formed at the start. Judge Reed paid a high
compliment to Colonel BaiIey's ability as
criminal lawyer, and declared that in this
redpect he stood at the head Of the Iowa bar
AS an attorney he was most scrupulously
exact and honest He never took advantage
OF client, the court nor the opposing
counsel. He entered into a case with his
whole heart and soul, and while always q
most formidable antagonist, he was abso-
lutely invincible when he was convinced OF
the innocence of client whom he was
defending. In all respects he was the ideal
OF professional courtesy number of in
cidents were recounted showing his fidelity
to his clients, which the absence Of a fee
or amy sort Of compensation could not affect
