the grand jury's deliberations-Judge Ses-
sions expressed the belief that the right
of the attorney general to appoint assist
ants who were not lawyers to do clerical
work in a grand jury elaboration could
not be questioned.
Parkert Criticism
Before Judge Sessions announced his
decision, this third allegation provoked
criticism of the attorney general by for
mer Judge Alton B. Parker of counsel
for the defendants. He maintained that
the attorney general had no right to ap-
point the stenographers as his assistants,
and that the law specifically stated that
only attorneys could be permitted in fed
eral grand jury rooms
THE attorney general and his assist
ants he continued, have always been
willing to exercise a little more author
ity each time they make their appoint
ments. This assertion of authority can
be ascribed to the love of power which
is inherent in all men,
Counsel for the defendants attempted
to postpone argument on the demurrers
until date later than that set by the
court, but Judge Sessions asserted he
would not wait longer than Thursday, be-
cause he expected to leave for his home

The Allegations

that the deputy clerk of the court had
the right to act in the absence of the
clerk. and that the defendants had failed
to prove that the deputy really had per-

Brookline. Mass, Nov. 3o.-Lucius Tut
tie. former president of the. Boston &
Maine Railroad, died tonight at his home
here. Death was due to angina pectoris.
Mr.. Tuttle's health had been impair

in which one leg was amputated. He
had been able to get around fairly
well notwithstanding this handicap,
however, until a week ago, when the
illness set IN which resulted in his
death late tonight.

tan stock. His graduation from the
Hartford High school at the age 70
10 was followed Immediately by work,
young futile becoming clerk to a
Judge of probate. 1t seemed that his
bent lay in the law. But a political
turn threw him out of his position and
he obtained a berth of ticket clerk
with the Hartford, Providence & Fis-
kill Railroad. Subsequently, he as
cended the rungs of ladder that led
to fame in railroad circles. In 1875 he
became passenger agent for the East
ern Railroad and during five years un-
der his control of this department, the
affairs Of the road prospered SO well
that the company resumed dividends
after a long pause.
Mr.. Tutt1es next activities we're

which he went in 1884 as passenger
agent. In 1886, he received promotion
to general passenger traffic manager

1889 he was made commissioner Of te
Trunk Line Association.
This important position he held two

for this road under his charge was
followed by his election as president
also of the Maine Central Railroad,
putting Mr.. Tuttle practically in con-
troll of the railroad situation in north
eastern New England. Meantime the
Boston & Maine had acquired several
connecting lines. the addition of one Of
which, the Fitchburg, gave the road
control of the Hoosac tunnel. 1t was
only after a long campaign that Mr..
futile prevailed on the Massachusetts,
