fore God and man; verify in him has
the supreme bench Of Oklahoma
been lustrously clothed with a cloak
of dignity, admiration, confidence;
in. him has the poor man as well as
the rich been given the same care
ful, judicious consideration and he
has at all times judged men for their
true worth. and not for what they

if all men were like Bob Williams
the Goddess of Justice could remove
