There has always been a dispute as
TO what attorney Of the local bar ever
made the longest plea in the local Com
mon Pleas Court. The question was
revived Wednesday by some attorneys
who were talking about the all day
arguing which occupied the time of
the court, Tuesday. 1t is believed by
all that Judge Owen is correct when
he sscribes the honor ~ to squire
Cheney. of Mecnanicsburg. The
squIre's plea was made several years
ago when he and the late W. A. Pur-
tlebsugh were associated in q case.
About the time the arguments were
to be made Mr.. Purtlebaugh was called
to Bellefontsine and instructed his
colleague to entertain (f) the jury un-
til he returned. That was in the af-
ternoon. Squire Cheney talked all af-
ternoon and when Mr.. Purtlebaugh re-
turned the next morning the Squire
was "still going it." No matter what
the verdict was. but Squire Cheney Is
