in Massachusetts was virtually prede-
termined by the refusal of the defend
ing person to put in the slightest sem
blance of defense. Pelletier was not
foreiudged, as he declared in making
known his determination not to put IN
any defense; and for him to say 50
was to cast an unwarranted slur on
the highest judicial body in Massaehll-
sets. Had Pelletier made a defense as
almost any other man would have lone
in his situation there is not the slight
est doubt that the evidence he present
ed would have been given full and
reasonable consideration by the SUI
preme court and that the case woiild
have been decided on its merits and not
through prejudice. But with the OPP
portunity before him, Pelletier decided
to make a specious plea to public opin-
ion by asserting that he was fore
Judged and that it would do no good
for him to try to put in a defense, OF
course, the supreme court Of Massa-
chusetts could do nothing else than 10
order his disbarment, which was the
matter under considerations and the
mild reproof contained in Judge Car
rolls decree was the natural thing TO
expect. Pelletier's whole course in this
procedure was very unusual and hard
to explain in man fighting with the
