have not known that he was blind.
He carries himself as if he were see
ing everything. He retains in his
mind the position of persons, of books,
of papers. There is no cropping, no
hesitancy. He has the same conf
dence that a sighted man has. Once
he hears voice, he knows the per-
son. In court first one lawyer, then
another, then another, will pop into
a dispute The blind lawyer. all ami
nation, will turn from one to the
other and be as easy in poise and as
sure Of his people as il he had
known them all his life.
AS lawyer, Raymond Brown has
done great public work, but as
blind man, who has shown a way to
the blind he has done a greater one.
There are scores of blind men who
practice at the bar but nearly all or
them became blind after they had
been lawyers for some years. So far
as is known Brown Is the only blind
man in the United States, except Sen
ator Gore, who was blind when he
otuuitu law.
Brown is no longer in the employ
Of the government. When Mr. Wise
went out OF Office the blind man went
with him. Now Mr. Brown is of the
legal staff of the American Tobacco
company.
Over in the grim old New York post
office, where the United States dis.
trict attorney has his office, the at
taches love to tell stories of the young
blind lawyer Some OF these tales are
almost unbelievable. One is to the
effect that for three or four solid
months. when engaged in the prepar-
alton of a case, he put In from eigh.
teen to twenty hours a day and never
showed evidence of fatigue or irrita-
ton. Another Is that he could tell
the moment he went into a room the
exact number of persons who were
present and exactly where they were
standing or sitting. II didn't matter
whether II was a single office or
large room or whether Il contained
two persons or twenty.

lawyer studied mining. He had every
thing that was valuable regarding the
subject read to him. Then he went
overy every paper and every book
that had been seized in Wisners Of
flee. For eleven months he studied
this case. Expert accountants were
with him day and night at one time.
They discovered that he was a great
er accountant than they were. If they
made the slightest error in giving to
him orally a transcript of what was
in the books, or If they made the
slightest error when he was question
ing them month"; or two months, or
six months later, he was sure to call
their attention to 1t instantaneously
and have the matter cleared up be-
fore proceeding farther. One of the
accountants said 1t was uncanny how
this lawyer seemed to carry a million
figures and a thousand accounts in
his mind and know exactly what was
right and wrong in every instance.
When it came to the trial of the
case the mining men who testified
were startled to discover that this
blind lawyer knew more about mining
than they did. Witnesses who endeav-
ored to explain discrepancies in the
books discovered he knew more about
bookkeeping. queer and otherwise.
than they had any conception of, and
the shrewd old lawyers for the de-
tense were not long in discovering
that the young man probably knew
more law than any Of them. That
case was fought with exceeding bitter
ness on the part of the defense. The
trial lasted two months. Brown never
lost his temper, never lost command
of the situation and never blundered
in regard to a fact or a figure.
Prosecuted Monroe & Monroe.
He prosecuted the firm of Monroe &

Rapid Success In Law.
Brown was mighty good student.
They say at Harvard that they have
had few better. When he was gradu-
ated, he was admitted to the bar, and
quickly demonstrated that he had
more than an academic knowledge of
Jurisprudence. After few years he
came 10 New York, and then United
States district attorney, Henry A.
Wise, appointed him one of his as
sistants.

all sorts of frauds that came within
the jurisdiction of the district attor-
ney. because the swindlers used the
United States mails to exploit their

1t fell to Brown to prosecute many of
these swindlers and the record he
made has established his reputation
as one of the great prosecutors of
america. It's not in getting convic-

way in which he prepared himself to
