Son Of Attorney General Bresssfes
Pleaded for CrimIaaH.
The coming wedding OF Miss Mary
Brewster and Donald CasseIls is OF
great interest to all old Washington
ians because II united two families
who have always been identified with
Washington society.
The grandfather of the bride-elect
was Benjamin Harris Brewster, who
occupied the position OF Attorney Cen
eraI during President Arthur's admin
istration- When young man Mr..
Brewster risked his life In a heroic
effort to save his sister from death By
tire. and was himself terribly burned
and dishgured for life. He had most
fascinating manners and was noted for
his brilliant conversational powers.
There is very interesting anecdote
told of Attorney General Brewster
and his son Andre, now captain In
the United States army. which is prob
ably not known to tbs generation.
During Mr. Brewster's term as AT.
torney General notorious highway
man and criminal was caught In Louis
lana and brought TO trial 1t was a
case. and finally the trial
ended. and the prisoner. having been
proven guilty. was sentenced to be
hanged But his counsel put In stay

Attorney General. asking him to In
tercede with President Arthur and Sc
:ure reprieve for the prisoner. 4
