VERY
SICK MAN.
Attorney Returns From His
Bedside and Says His Con-
dilton is Critical.
COMMUNICATION CEASES
As Care and Perfect Quiet Are
Absolutely imperative for
His Welfare.

A prominent attorney Just return
ed from Philadelphia. gives as author
itative information that the condition
OF Judge Con Is much more serious
than has been supposed and that
therefore IT Is important that law
yers and judges in this fourth circuit
must be considerate. not attempt to
communicate or transact business
with him or in any way disturb him
for a period of several months yet.
Said this attorney. who IS absolute
ly reliable: II know whereof speak
by positive, personal knowledge OBJ
tained by me when in Philadelphia a
few days ago. Judge Con Is a very
sick man. He was almost a COM
plete breakdown from a complication
Of physical infirmities brought about,
by overwork. and 1t will be absolutely
necessary for him to have a period
yet of from four to six months COM
plete rest and medical treatment,
which he is now receiving from the
very best physicians in this country, II
the bench and bar are to see him re-
sumo his official duties before O long
period OF time. His condition Is
such that above all things he must be
free from all anxiety and worry about
judicial matters. Sensitive as he is,
nothing is more cruel on the part of
members Of the bar and his fellow
Judges than for them to be writing
him letters about official business in
his hands and requesting him to
Btate how soon he will return. Law
yers and Judges alike must stop that
IL they have any kindly consideration
for him. Judge Goft has so long and
faithfully worked in his high ONCE,
that he has earned absolute rest for
many. many months i do not blame
my brother attorneys for writing him
for the impression has been given
out heretofore that Judge COTS In
ness was mere slight indisposition.
This is cruelty unjust to him. He is
a very sick man and 1t should not be
concealed but known, SO that we may
al extend every consideration and
forbearance to him and all Join in a
sincere prayer that he may soon re-
cover and be with us in his usual
good health and spirits
