Whenever the United States supreme

satisfied that he has no case the chief
justice is apt To say to counsel for de-

plaintiff in error and opened the case.
Before he was through the court was
satisfied that there was nothing in 1t,
and so when be had concluded and
counsel for defendant Ia error arose
Chief Justice Waite said, The court
does not care TO hear any further ar
gument."
Counsel for the other side was a lit

chief justice spoke. did not hear what
he had said and. turning 10 Mr.. Car
