Second Trial Of Harry K. ThaW
Martin w.. Ltteton, Leading Lawyer For the Defense, a Graduate
of the School of Hard Knocks-His Remarkable Rise
to Prominence-Judge Bowling a Hustler.
Luxury For Jurymen.

1t was twcnty-One years later. when
the fame of his speech in nomination
of Judge Parker for the presidency had
spread over the country. that Mr.. Lit
Teton was again in Texas, and he look
ed up his old friend the foreman.
well, Martini said the latter,
you've changed some since l was your
boss, amt you""
"l'm older" was the response.
And you're a big New York lawyer,
too. amt you?"
well, l don't know about the big
but I'm a New York lawyer anyhow"
1t was In 1896 that Mr.. Littleton,
having been admitted to the Texas bar
and established a record as assistant
district attorney Of Parker county, de-
termined to tempt fortune in a larger
field, and. taking his bride and his Of
fee single, he started for New York.
There was no fire on the North river in
celebration Of his arrival. and for q
time the big city seemed cruelty obliv-
ious of his budding genius. But success
came in due season, and in 1903 he
was chosen president of the populous
borough of Brooklyn. His administra-
ton was 80 successful that he could
have been nominated for a second term,
but he preferred to retire and devote
himself to his profession.
The judge who presides in the sec
ond Thaw trial. Victor j. bowling. is
not much older than Mr.. Littleton. He
was born in New York in 1866 and is
said to be the youngest judge on the
supreme bench of New York state. He
has a reputation for exceptional
promptness and swiftness Of rulings.
1t was only a short While before the
