h George V. Massey, general couns
a of the Pennsylvania Railroad, becan
: familiar figure in Wall street durin
the days when the negotiations for I'll
Il Pennsylvania Railroads Paris los
:, were in progress. His unusually tt
:, figure served to attract attention
o him. Mr.. Massey, to the casual
d server, scarcely betrays the possessi'
of the astute legal knowledge whi
has led to his promotion to the gener
counselship of the Pennsylvania RAJ
Is road. For a good many years he prs
F." ticed law in Delaware. He left
% practice here to become assistant ge
= eral counsel of the Pennsylvania Ra
,d road, and it was not long before he e
at tered his present position. Some
of his acquaintances have said that th'
its first impression of him as that of
ne oldfashioned country school teach'
es slow and deliberate, but far from bl
Ia liant, an impression they soon lost
an moment they entered into legal
ne gument with him.-New York Let
