tain some wit and humor for the JUS
tees of the supreme court to smile
over when the briefs are read.
z. A. Austin wrote the brief for the
prosecution in reply to the brief for the
mine operators, written by Col. w. ).
Rossington. In his brief Mr.. Austin

of a penal law of the United States,
and would as such be confronted by

mander Magruder of New York
He is succeeded in the title by Shell
ley Scarlet, who was a grandson of the
poet Shelley and who has inherited ex-
tremely valua BILE real estate at Bourne
