OF the greatest liberty ever taken with

argument astounded the court by lean

Il believe Henry Clay to be the only man
in the United States who would dare to

afterward remarked.
Every Saturday night during the ses-
sion Chief Justice White will send his
messenger to the homes of the eight
associate justices to deliver sealed en-
velopes containing the cases in which
each is to write opinions. Each opinion
after its dictation is sent to the govern

a printed copy being supplied to every
member Of the court for his approval OF

the opinion 80. k and adds his signature
