FEES OF eminent Lawyers
Largest on Record Was That Paid William
Nelson Cromwell for His Part in the
Purchase Of the Panama Canal.

the aged railroad magnate- When Mr..
Plant died, in June, 1900, at New
Haven, Conn, his estate was worth
ST, 100000 The point in the contest
was whether Mrs. Plant should re-
ceive an annuity of $4,000 by the
terms of the will or have the will set
aside and get about $7,000,O00- The
contest depended on a codicil making
the heirs of Mr.. Plants six-year-old
grandson the residuary legatees and
tying up the fortune until the youngest
son of the grandson reached his ma
jority.
When the case came up for trial,
before Justice Leventritt, in the SUI
epreme court, just seven years ago,
lawyers believed that the suit was a
doubtful one The codicil could be
set aside if the will was offered for
probate in New York. Connecticut
was the only state in which such q
provision would be legal
So the case turned on a question
OF domicile-whether Mr.. Plant was
a resident of New York or of Connect
cut He went to Connecticut a few
ant claimed, to avoid the New York
law and establish a residence in New
Haven.
Lawyers say that Mr.. Guthrie de-
served all the credit he got for win
ming the suit. To his persistence in

auce he might have been brother OF
George William Curtis. He is John
E. Parsons, a New Yorker born and
bred, legal adviser for big corpora
tons and estates, and as lawyer be-
lieved to have the finest practice in
the country.
Mr. Parsons is reputed to have re-
ceived one of the largest fees ever
taken by q lawyer when he drew up
the charter of the sugar trust Ac-
cording to common report, he realized
$40O, 900 for this service. AS general
counsel for the trust he also defended
it during the attack upon the combi-
nation few years ago. That defense
is said to have added another 100000
to his fortune.
Contrasted with these types of cor
poration lawyers is the general prac-
titioner. Former Ambassador Joseph
H Choate is a typical example. John
G. Johnson of Philadelphia is another.
Speaking facetiously of Mr.. Choate
at a public dinner, Chauncey M. De
pew is said to have remarked that
only unselfish millionaires could en-
ploy Mr.. Choate as their lawyer be-
cause they would have to give up
about all they had to pay his fees
Yet lawyers said last week, indeed,
that Mr.. Choate's fees were not large
compared with the 100000 Mr..
| Cromwell received in the Panama ca
nal deal. the $75o,ooo paid Mr.. Guth-

puted 100000 fee to Mr.. Parsons for

choate in Many Great Cases.
Mr. Choate was admitted to the New
York bar in 1856. AS protege and
| partner of William M. Evarts he won
| Immediate success, and gained al
enormous practice and very large in
| come. By 1870 he was considered a
| leader of the New York bar. For
nearly 80 years there was hardly a
great case in which he was not one
| of the counsel-the prosecution of the
| Tweed ring, the famous investigation
| of Gen. Fitz John Porter's conduct
= which ended in a reversal of the judg
ment of the original court martial
| the celebrated libel suit against Gen
| Di Cesnola, the Tilden will case, the
| litigation over Commodore Wander
! bits millions, and the suit of David
Stewart against Coils P. Huntington
to mention only few of them Mr.
Choate is said to have received fees
of 100000 on a number of occasions
| When he was named as ambassador tc
England by President Mckinley ir
1898 he had earned fortune in his AZ
years of practice amounting to some
thing over s1,00O,00O. At that time
his income, chiefly from his law prac
| tice, was estimated at 100000 a year
1t is said of Mr.. Choate that he would
probably be richer if he had devoted
himself to corporation rather than {
general practice, but that he woule
only do so at the sacrifice of tha
excitement and interest which he finds
as an advocate.
John G. Johnson of Philadelphia i:
generally recognized as one of the
greatest lawyers in the country. He
once declined a seat on the bench o
the supreme court of the Unitet
States because, he said, with hi.
income of 100000 a year he woult
be reduced to poverty if he agreed tt

gathering evidence that should make
Mr.. Plant New Yorker and set aside
the codicil to his skill in presenting
it and questioning the witnesses, Mrs.
Plant owed the 100000 her attorney
won for her. Mr.. Guthrie's fee is said
to have been between ten and IA per
cent. of this fortune somewhere be-
tween s750,00O and $1,OO0,000.
OF the many big fees Mr.. Guthrie
has received, the most significant was
the $4,000 paid to him in the proceed
ings to test the constitutionality of
the income tax. 1t was a case in
which methods counted for more than
fees, and Mr.. Guthrie's tactics made
his fame national. He devised the
method under which the proceedings
should be brought SO that they would
not violate the statute against suits
to restrain the assessment or col1ec-
ton of federal taxes. He drafted all
the papers and made the opening ar
guments before the United States SUI
preme court.
In Corporation Cases.
When you hear of very large fees
paid to lawyers by corporations" said
the lawyer, you must remember that
the knowledge and ingenuity of these
attorneys often make the big combi-
nations of capital possible. The business
man goes to the lawyer with the germ
of the idea. The lawyer arranges a
corporation that will be legal and able
to withstand attacks upon it, Often
the lawyers original ideas go into the
consolidation. The lawyers usually re-
ceive a block of stock for their work.

four runs had been scored. he was re-

off Harmon he was replaced by Groom.
