“Probably no educational institution
in our country has ever graduated two
more eminent and eloguent lawyers
than old Dartmouth college gave us
in Danlel Webster and Rufus Choate,”
says a writer In Our Dumb Animals.
“It was my privilege uns a member of
the Suffolk bar to attend many years
ago the trial of one of the most im
portant cases of the year In our su

“On the two sldes were arrayed
some half a dozen of our most emi-
nent lawyers. Daniel Webster and
Rufus Choate, as it happened, were on
the same side,
“A hostile witness was put on by
the other side, some of whose evidence
was of the utmost mportance to Web-
ster and Choate, If it could be
tained, and Choate undertook the task
of obtaining it. No man at our bar
had more profound skill in cross ex-
amination, and the questions he put
to the witness were like ‘the fire of a
Maxim gun. but in every Instance he
falled to get the evidence he yvanted
and finally sat down in despair,
