. On two occasions the Nor
ristown bar elected Mr.. Drin-
non as Special Judge, once
, when Judge Henderson was
i'll, a second time when Judge
Holloway was incompetent;
: but such election was with the
!: distinct understanding among
the Attorneys that Mr.. Drin-
= non would not be called upon
q to hear any important cases,
except the case of State VS..
Quinn, a felony.
s One reason Mr.. Drinnon
2 was elected Special Judge was
u the fact that he was interested
i in SO few cases. We have
. nothing to say against the pri-
vate character of Mr.. Drinnon,
e ut there is no doubt that Judge
u Holloway is much better equip
. ped to be Circuit Judge than
-' he. Mr.. Drinnon never has
- been a diligent student of the
law and his practice has been
> too limited to give him a wide
" knowledge thereof.
Whenever important bust
;s ness has been entrusted to
=. him, he has invariably associ-
"a ated with himself other coun-
=. sci to whom he has committed
= its direction. We do not think
70 Mr.. Drinnon has ever argued
4 a case before the Court of CT
is vii Appeals or the Supreme
II Court.
We should regard the cleo.
II ton of Mr.. Drinnon to the high
"a office of Circui Judge as un.
N fortunate to the citizenship of
a this judicial Circuit.
N Judge Holloway's civil prac.
il ice has prepared him for hand
,e ling that branch of business
3: and his experience as prosecute
,e ing attorney eminently fit.
N him for handling the criminal
I'd cases that may arise in the
el courts.
n Love of our profession, the
good order of this Circuit, mac
n. our zeal for the proper admin
N istration of justice compel u.
Id to make the above statement
r. Respectfully Submitted.
