outburst against the name of Eugene C.
Upton.
Laughter swept over the court room.
Simpson jumped to his feet and de-
clared in tense tones: Il have nothing
to take back as to what l said against
Upton"
The court room was in the highest
pitch of excitement when Judge Lawton

Dan Russell made a peace Offering

William sat like a sphynx. muttering,

COMMENTS ON SIMPSON.
Recent Boston papers have the follow
ing comments on the attorney from
Dickinson:
That Senator Simpson is q natural
orator is conceded by all who have
heard him. His voice is of medium
volume. clear and musical ; his manner
quiet and pleasing his SMILES and
apt; his Gestures few but
appropriate and full of meaning; his
easy>and natural and his bland
smile perpetual. .
That smile, however, is as flexible
as damascus steel and reveals every
shade of feeling with az much certainty
as spoken words, whether of pleasure
approval, welcome, scorn, sarcasm, |
anger or pity, and in its rapid changes
The eyes play a fitting accompaniment
70 the lip movement and, on occasions, |
are supplemented by a CLEAN of teeth.
Mr.. Simpsons memory is full of
stories, humorous and pathetic, and of
from well-known writers, |
which he applies with aptness, if not /
courtesy. For instance, q
moment after he had CONCLUDED. his
ritisism Of the testimony of a repond-
ent's witness, he remarked: while
have no. desire to make personal
illusions I am reminded Of. a line from
"A rag, a bone and a hank
If hair"
Once he alluded to one Of the respond
ent's attorneys as the ''Virtuous Upton,
which me with strongly manifested
signs of pleasure and disapproval from
al over the house, which continued for
B minute before the officers could rel
'to4e quiet. i
Another burst of laughter came whena
he compared certain efforts of the re-
'pondents' agents to the i%nefectualI
lse of decoy ducks by an old man
who lived in the vicinity Of the
speakers birthplace.
Mr.. Simpsons storytelling; was aptly
of points made by him, and
we're appreciated by bench. bar and
spectators alike. notwithsaa landing the
fact that they disturbed the quiet of
the court room.
Mr.. Simpsons review Of such DOR
lions of the testimony as. he chose for |
analysis and criticism was thorough

in ~sacastic allusion. d.
