weeks ago, and for the last week h.s con-

was a unique and interesting character.
He was born in the County Cork in Ire
land and p-actfced his profession there.
About twenty-five years ago he came to
this city, and had practiced in the courts
here ever since. He never dropped his
thick brogue and tbs characteristic, united
with a flamboyant style of oratory and an
easy reference TO the classics soon made
him a Weil-knOwn figure in the courts.
The report that ne was to speak frequently
drew crowds to the court rooms. 1t was
irnpOssible to diScOncert him. and his easy
familiarity with the judges was as amusing
as it was difficult to rebuke.
