admirably to either the draped skirts,
which are the latest fashion, or to the

Mart" Littleton had been selected as
chief counsel for Harry K Thaw 1t
caused some in New York. While he
has been recognized for several years
as an able trial lawyer, he has not
been prominently identified with the
criminal branch of his profession, al
though he has been many times ad-
vised that he could become supreme
in that field If he would enter it.
His success since he left his old
home In Texas has been almost phe-
nomenal, and it has been due largely
to these things-determinat af-
liability of manner, a gift of oratory
and conciseness of expression. There
are few men in New York who can
excel him in making a plea before a
Jury; there are fewer who can make
more pleasing after-dinner speech;
there are few who can equal him in
clearly stating a complex proposition;
there is none who can excel him in
dealing telling verbal blow at an op-
perfume time. And, added to it all,
he is thorough student of the law.
He is an expert at cross-examination,
is fighter for what he thinks is right
and he has forceful way with jury.
Became Famed as Orator.
Back in his boyhood days in Texas
he was known as an orator and story
teller. He could recite all the old
fifth reader masterpieces with a fire
that stirred the "boys" in the village
store, and, short time later, when he
was active in politics but not old
enough to vote, he could rouse the
old timers down in Weatherford to
bursts of applause with his oratorfcal
efforts.
II was dye to no choice of his own

that Littleton went to Weatherford.
He was born in a log cabin in Roane
county, in the eastern part of Tennes-
see, 35 years ago last January, and
when just a youngster was taken by
his father to Weatherford. After a
stay of a few years there the elder
Littleton decided to move back 20
Tennessee, but the son. then under 16
years of age, declined to accompany
him. He preferred Texas. Even at
that tender age he had begun to dream
of life. in New York city. The idea
of studying law hadn't occurred to
him but he was determined to get
in the midst of things" and to make
his way at something. ..
Worked and Studied Law.
Dependent on his own efforts after
his father moved back to Tennessee
he did odd jobs about Weatherford
for time and then, for want of
something to do, obtained a job as
trackwalker. 1t wasn't the sort of
work he preferred, but he wasn't par
ticular and he stuck to it for several
months. 1t was during this servitude
that ambition to become lawyer
seized him. His ready wit and his
ability to say things better than the
other men on the road caused some
of his associates to suggest the law
to him.
BY way of shortening his path some
what to his chosen field he left the
railroad and got job as "devir' in
the Office of the Park County News,
which was published in Weatherford.
He didn't like ink and pressroom eti-
quette, so after short term here he
got job as bakers helper. Mixing
dough and reading law didn't prove as
delightful combination as he had
hoped and he resumed his old job of
trackwalker because it gave him plen-
ty of time to study nights and to think
about his studies during the daytime.

While he was using up tallow
candles in his attacks upon Blackstone
he realized that it might be helpful to
him If he had a short term of school
ing in the rudiments. He had never
been inside a schoolhouse, although
he had received some instruction at
home and had picked up good bit
of information on general topics. To
carry out his plan he went to Spring
town, and there for eight months he
did chores and farm work and studied
with an old German who numbered
among his pupils the children of most
of the aristocrats of Parker county.
Entered Attorneys Office.
In the eight months Littleton
learned as much as he felt was neces-
sary for the time being. He could do
fractions as well as any one; he could
parse everything that could be parsed;
he could write as fast and as plain as
any boy in the county, and he could
recite better than any actor who had
ever struck Weatherford or any place
in that part of Texas He knew the
history of the United states like a
book, and he had pretty good idea
of the history of other nations, which
in his youthful opinion didn't amount
to much anyhow.
Thus equipped, he entered the office
of the district attorney of " Gather
ford county as clerk and law stu
dent. AS expressed by man who
knew him in those days, "he fairly ate
the law books" He swept through
them with lightning speed, and in
1891. at the age of 19, he was admitted
to the bar. He was then one of the
leading young citizens of the county
seat. AS soon as he was admitted to

trial courts and was regarded as q
conner" in criminal law.
Involved in "Big" Cases.
In 1899 he was made an assistant
district attorney of Kings county, and
while serving in that capacity he had
charge of some of the most notable
cases in the borough across the bridge.
He prosecuted Five Hundred and
Twenty Per Cent" Miller and was
chief prosecutor in many other prom
inent cases. And during all this time
he was gradually earning reputation
as an orator and after-dinner speaker.
He attracted particular attention be-
cause he was of a different school
from his competitors. He brought
east with him a southern charm of
manner that invariably made friends
for him.
His real debut as an orator came
during the campaign of 1900, in the old
Academy Of Music, in Brooklyn.
Known as man who could make a
fair speech, he was put down on the
Pio6i oAhhO c1o ohO VI INC IdlleuueTS.
Three Democrats of national promi-
nence were scheduled for the chief ad-
dresses, and David B. Hill was her
aided as the principal attraction. When
his turn came Mr.. Littleton-then a
man of but % years-created sensa-
ton from the start. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that he really elec-
trified the audience. His speech was
short, clear and to the point, and his
eloquence stirred the crowd to storms
of applause. Instead of leaving the
hall everyone stayed and still others
jammed their way in.
Littleton became known outside of
Brooklyn after that. 1t was that effort.
