where Peruna is taken as above during

John w. Patterson Of this city. He is
indeed q man of the hour and merits |
the eincere admiration of The Colored d !
American and It's host of readers Mr.. |
Patterson is conceded to be one OF tre |
foremost lawyers of the District bar. |
This is easily shown by the res pecb and
courtesy shown him by all the judges
and leading lawyers; by the number OF
important cases he has handled IN
short while with marked success; by
the clients in daily attendance at his
office.
1t is he who Win dicated Rev. r 3.
Robinson who was taken to Boston,
Mass. upon req uisitiOn fro N this city;
who saved the life of Williams, who
was being tried for murder, with such
able talent as Judge Anderson and as
slsIant Mr.. Taylor as prosecutors; who
cleared James Orr, charged with grand
lArcsny and brought here from Boston,
Mass; who contested as attorney
against Attorney Niles in the largest
cIored divorce suit ever filed In the
District courts and held things his own
way from start to finish. Many other
cases of equal Importance might be
meC toned.
Besides mis- criminal practice, his
civil has perphaps Outstripped that of
aoy colored attsrney in this city. 1t is
leved that he has paid out over
S25 900 to his clients as fruits of his
civil practice during the last twelve
months.
1he COIOTed American admires him
chiefly for his univere al politeness. He
is attAb.e and respectful to all alike,
regardless OF color or condition. AL
though We know not from what school
he came or where stands the ''alma

him to be thorough gentleman and a

In letters, yet uupretentIOus, modest,
depending upon sterling qualities for

Mr.. Patterson is q born orator and q
born leader of men. No one who has
had personal contact with him, whether
preacher or lsyman, lawyer Of client,
can leave him without feeling gravely
impressed with his manhood, his high
sense of honor, his disposition to be so1
