SIX PICKING AWAY.
Unusual Array Of Legal Talent in Case
in City Court.

Such an array OF legal talent as ap-
peared in city court this forenoon on
a single case has not beyn seen IN years,
when six attornevs of the city picked

who was being sued by IL n Colby,
represented BY Richard "A. Hoat. who,
like bsleagured fo1, lodged this way
and that way before the oncoming pack.
fNo otfense on either side, but any ex-
ceptions duly nuted) Mr.. Colby claimed
that he did job of painting fof Mr..
Wales and that the worth Of the Job
was SIS in hard cash. The defense by
Mr Wales is not yet known, because
so mitch time was taken up in arguing
as TO when the case should be tried,
that the defense did not have time to
put in its evidence before this edition.
Il couldn't start at two o'clock this af.
tei1loon because there were several Ii.
quor cases To 90 on that time, but IL
was left that the leg,l battle should
begin as soon as the liquor matter was
disposed Of. II may be stated at thia
point that attorney lIbar had a word
10 say in reply TO every word of his
five confreres on the opposite side, which
necessarily kept him pretty busy.
