Assuredly no casual visitor could
guess from the appearance of the
place that this was the headquarters
of one of the most brilliant legal
minds in the country, yet in this very
Office had been prepared some OF the
most sensational victories ever re-
corded in the law courts.
Visitors to Judge Rrewsters Office
were not many A man of such re-
nown was naturally expensive. Few
could afford to retain his services,
and in fact he was seldom called upon
except to act in the interest OF
wealthy corporations. In these cases,
of course, his fees were enormous. He
had very few private clients; in fact
he declined much private practice
that was offered to him. He had
been the legal adviser of Howard
Jeffries, Sr., tor many years. The
two men had known each other IL
their younger days and practically
had won success together-the one
in the banking business, the other
