Man has been declared 10 be the
noblest work Of God. Moral greatness
was never more emphasized, than in 3
dramatic episode, which varied the
monotony Of a Washington City court.
For many years James Fullerton prac-
ticed law at the bar Of the Capital and
last week his death was announced.
The day before his death, he appeared
in the court, to represent Southern
client who held claim involving $50,
900. The opposing attorney asked .
continuance Of the case. Judge Fuller
ton arose and appealed for hearing OF
the case at once. he remarked that,
his physician informed him, that he
could not live over sixty days. He
might die at any moment. But, he felt
that he owed his client the duty ofcom.
pleting his labors on the case before he
died. The government attorney. in the
same manly spirit, touched by this
heroic devotion to a sacred duty con-
sented, and the conscientious lawyer
argued his last case before an earthly
tribunal. There are greater heroes,
than those who have won laurels on
crimsoned fields.

that the United States owe them moth

There was peculiar fitness, it might
be called coincidence. in the circum-

before the Supreme Court and made a

right and privilege Of southern attor-
neys, who had been not only disfranchis-
ed but excluded from practice in the
