TRIES BIG s0lT.
Raymond G. Brown Lost Sight When
Eight, But Fitted Himself for a
Life Of Activity

NEW YORK, March l5.-1his week
will witness the elimination here OF
one OF the most strange cases ever
brought for trial before a court In
this country. IL is case prepared
entirely by q blind lawyer although
Il comprises 1000 pages OF written
and printed matter and 40 books. In
addition, IL il the first case In the
country In which blind lawyer mas
taken his stand before a judge and
personally examined witnesses and
argued points of law when objections
were offered.
The blind lawyer is Raymond G.
Brown, who, seven months ago, was
appointed an assistant United States
district attorney. The case Is that OF
the government against George n.
Munroe, charged with receiving $780,
600 from investors throughout the
country for stock that was never de-
livered.
Mr.. Brown has had entire charge
OF the case. With the aid OF an as
sistant who had read to him from the
documents and lawbooks, he prepared
and arranged for every move that has
been made by the government. As
this case is the first Of several In
volving charges of fraudulent stock
transactions. the blind lawyer prompt
" announced that the evidence must
be- conclusive to establish prece-
cent. AS result witnesses have been
summoned from California, Arizona,
Illinois, New Jersey and Massachu-
sets In this country and from Aus
tralia and Canada.
When the appointment of Mr.. Brown
was first announced. last August, there
we're plying smiles on all sides. Some
lawyers went as far as to admit that
