great many times at the bar, both be
fore jurles and the full court. He is
the only advocate ever heard who had
the imperial power which would subdue
an unwilling and hostile jury. His
power over them seemed like the fas.
cination of bird by a snake.
Choate's method was pure persuasion
He never appealed to base motives, nor
tried to awake coarse preiudices or
stormy passions. He INDUCED in no in
vectives. His wit and sarcasm and ridi-
cule amused the victim almost as much
as it amused the bystander. He had the
suavi loquentia which Cicero attributes
TO Cornelius, There was never harsh
note in his speech.
He had voice without any gruff yet
shrill tones. 1t was like a sweet yet
powerful flute. He never strained it or
seemed to exert 1t to its fullest capacity.

wife threw away the AK with which the
deed was done, when he heard some

ejaculation of the AK" Indeed his
speech was perpetual surprise.

a trial was on, lasting days or weeks,
he kept pen, ink and paper at hand in
his bedroom, and would often get up
in the middle of the night to write down
thoughts that came to him as he lay in
bed He was always careful to keep
warm. 1t was said he prepared for a
great jury argument by taking off eight
greatcoats and drinking eight cups of
green tea. -Scribner's Magazine.
