WEBSTER AND CHOATE. JUDGE MAC ARTHUR’S RECOLLEC TIONS OP TWO FAMOUS MEN. Bis First Meeting With Rufus Choate —A Supper With Young Evarts-A Case in Which Choate and Webster Were Opponents-Their Admiration for Each Other. Hie ]Vashiuyton Stay. Judge Mac-Arthur, who but recently re tired from the Supreme bench of the Dis trict, practiced law in his younger days at the same liar and in some of the same cases with Rufus Choate and Dane! Webster. He weut over some of his recollections of these two great men with a reporter the other day. He is a charming narrator and adds a peculiar interest to everything he tells that cannot be entirely preserved in the repeti tion by another. The reporter found him in his study in the afternoon with some pages of manuscript before him and two or three volumes of rare old French plays lying on the table The shelves lining the walls were filled with some line books, of which the Judge is fond, anil a cool breeze blew through the window-s, which open on two sides of the room. It is as light and cheer ful a room as one can well imagine. The Judge wheeled up an immense arm chair for the reporter and sat buck in his own favorite chair, swinging his glasses a little with his left hand as he called to mind the days when he first began practice as a young lawyer. HIS FIRST MEETING WITH CHOATE. “I first met Mr. Choate,” he said, “under these circumstances: I was retained in a criminal case iu Massachusetts. It must have been in 'll or '42. I was a young man, as you may judge. My client was indicted for murder, lie was no ordinary criminal, but a man of wealth and position and the case attracted much attention. I secured the assistance of Mr. Ashrnun, who was a lawyer of ability, and was afterward a mem iter of Congress and became very widely known. He advised me to secure the ser vices of Mr. Choate," so I went to Boston with a letter of introduction and called at his office. He was not in aud I was told that I would find him at the library, where he spent much time reading. 1 had never seen him and there were several others present, but I knew in a moment which was he. His fine presence; his raven locks, curling about his lioad; his sharp black eyas, liis swarthy-complexion and protruding lips; his composure and nobility of presence— there was no mistaking him. I walked up to him and asked if he were not Mr. Choate. He replied that he was, aud I shall never forget the elegance and grace cf his manners as lie offered me a seat. He was a most pol ished and elegant gentleman, dignified but perfectly approachable, with a maimer so polite and unassuming that he put one at ease in a moment. He was A GOOD LISTENER, and had a way- of drawing one out. I know 1 hat he drew me out—drew more from me than I thought I knew when I first began to explain the object of my visit. I explained the case and my anxiety that he should come into it, and he listened to me for an hour, interrupting only occasionally for a moment to ask a question or to point out some difficulty- to lx- overcome. I remember bow he would say when some doubtful point would occur to him in the case: ‘Well, Mr. MacArthur, what are you going to do about this;' Then I would explain my view of it and we would go on to the next point. The dofense was justifiable homicide in defense of life and property, and I explained to him all the points and the theory of the defense. Well, tho upshot of it was that he agreed to enter the case. He was then in the Senate and when the trial came off he came from Washington to attend it. In Massachusetts then all criminal cases were tried by the Supreme Court of the State and prosecuted by the Attorney General, assisted by the dis trict attorney. Old Chief Justice Shaw, Justice Dewey and Justice Wild, all distin guished men, were on the bench. The dis trict attorney opened the case for the prose cution and the Attorney General closed it. I made no argument on the other side. I pre pared the case for trial, caring for every detail. Choate addressed the jury and I never in my life witnessed a grander foren sic display-. Choate was the greatest of American orators. A mob had raided a house rented by the prisoner aud he had defeuded it, killing one of the assailants, so you can see there was an inuneuse amount of evidence. The mob aud their friends w-ere called as witnesses aud the case tool; a week for trial. I prepared every detail of •he defense so that there was not a point Choate wanted that I did not have for him. I had eveiy reference and all that had any hearing on the case light at my fingers' ends. That was my part of the defense. CHOATE’S ADDRESS TO THE JURY was magnificent. He had the sympathy of everybody in the court room, of the court and of the jury with him. We thought the district attorney had gone outside of the evidence in hi:; opening and Mr. Choate called the court’s attention to it. I remem ber old Chief Justice Shaw. He looked like a turtle. He wore a very large collar and stock and sat with his chin drawn way down in it, and when anything attracted his at tention he would stretch out his neck and his head would come out of his collar like a • turtle’s out of it's shell. But he was a very able man. He stuck his head out in that comical way anil directed the district attor ney that he must keep within the evidence. The district attorney was a hard-headed, though an able man, and had tho statement of the case in his mind in that way and it spoilt his argument to be interfered with. So we had the court on our side and the liest of the case. “When Choate had spoken for two hours in tb is eloquent and poetical stylo, he stooped so that his lips were.close to my ear and whispered: ‘Well. Mr. MacArthur, do you think we have brushed all that rubbish away?” He referred to tho evidence of the prosecution. I replied that I thought so. Then,’ he said, ‘I will go on with the case,’ and he directed the rest of liis remarks en tirely to the case. This was done in the coolest possible way, right in the midst of his argument, that everyliody was worked up over. “IV hen the case went to tho jury they re turned in a few minutes with a verdict of not guilty.’ ” “The case had lasted a week or more and I hail come to know Mr. Choate very well. I becamo very fond of him. A SUPPER WITH CHOATE AND EVARTS. “The nest time I saw Mr. Choate,” tho i Judge continued, ‘was on tho street in lios |ton. Ho came up and clapjiod his hand on m y shoulder and invited me to his house to supper, I mention tins because of another Dung. At that time Hearts had just mad*- tiw first demonstration. He had just deliv- the adi Iress hi a case before ou ; of the New York courts that gave him his first reputation. Ho was then a very young man “ud it attracted much attention.. I ivmoiu ™*r °i reading a groat deni about it in the newspapers. Well, young Kvarls was at *"Pl*v with us and there l met, him for the urst time. He did not look diffei-e-.it then i "°vv n ‘ IH * he does when you see him here U) vv ashington to-day. He was an old young man, He was very mueh elated over his •access, t A FAMOUS CASE. "In 184s I was retained to defend a com pany in Springfield in a suit brought by a car-ivheel company for an infringement of *? < r r patent on flu? car wheel. My client claimed that the wheel he mudo was differ * . ai| d an improvement on tho other. It a ' cry famous cose. Of course the first ptug I (fid was to secure the .service* of Mr. iia U, i°- * m y client to him anil wo a'? the case over. Then my client left unu 1 remained a while longer, Ho I was <iga.Hi associated with that great, lawyer iu a cose. That was a famous trial. It lasted / j n month and there was a great array of li lent. There was Choate on our side and ' n urtia, afterward Justice of the United latcs Supreme Court, and Daniel Wolmter, ius*ri“s:uLng the plaintiff. Choate was a devotee of Webster's. They were great friends and Choate hail the greatest awe and admiration for Webster’s splendid ge niur,. I remember I did not think I should 1 ike AYebstcr. It was ten days after the trial began before he appeared in the court room. I. remarked to Mr. Choate that he would never he able to catoh up with the case, but his reply was: ‘He will be dangerous when ever he comes into the case.’ WEBSTER COMES. “When the great Webstar did come,” sa:d Judge MacArthur, “he did not seem to take much interest in the case. He came iuto it quietly without ostentation, and took no part in it, except occasionally to ask a question. He just sat there anil watched. He chatted and was very sociable and agree able with everybody. I got to know him very well, and to have a great respect anil admiration for him. He was a grand man. He wore that historical suit and high choker; and his fine eyes, deep-set and swarthy com- S ’exion distinguished him from all others, e was regal looking. “I was to open the case for the defense. He would come to me and say, ‘AYell, Mr. MacArthur, we are all waiting anxiously to hear your opening, to see if you will leave anything for the rest of us,’ and I would make some jesting reply. AV e were all very friendly, and Mr. AA’cbster was exceedingly agreeable all the while. AYhen the plain tiff’s case was closed I spoke for five hours, opening our side. I thought I was drag ging it out too long, and intimated as much to Mr. Choate. ‘No,’ said he, ‘take up all the time you can, say everything you can think of, and try and drive away the good impression the other side has made.’ Ho 1 wont oil and said all I could think of that could do us any good. Both Webster and Choate were very kind to me and spoke in complimentary terms of my effort. Many ladies were in the court room to hear the addresses of Webster and Choate. The two greatest men of their day pitted against each other in a suit was a great occasion. Choate made a grand address. Webster’s reply was an ordinary legal argument—cold and logi cal. He was uot the orator that Choate was. It was in this case that the famous anecdote of the two men was told. That Choate, in the most elegant way, and with great minuteness, described the vast differ ence between the two ear wheels, until he had convinced everybody that they could not possibly be anything alike. Then VVelv ster replied by simply pointing to the two wheels and saying: “Well, gentlemen, there they are; see for yourselves,’ and so won the case. But, truly, Mr. Webster’s argu ment was very plain •m l simple. He was not a great forensic speaker. He could clear out an assemblage of people after their curi osity had been satisfied us quickly as any man. Choate held liis hearers spell-bound. CHOATE'S HANDWRITING. “Choate had the most, peculiar handwrit ing any body ever looked upon. It was not trembling; the characters were bold and clear, but they were like some strange, for eign alphabet—it was perfectly unintelligi ble. He would write out instructions tor me to copy, and I could not read them. I would say: ‘Judge, you will have to tell me w’aat that character is.’ ‘Why,’ he would reply, ‘that’s so and so: it’s as plain as the nose on your face.' Just before he be gan to speak Webster took a handful of Choate's notes and distributed them among the ladies in the court room, going around with them like a man with handbills. He gave them out as curiosities, saying that he did know what they were; the ladies might take them home and study them out. WEBSTER’S ADMIRATION FOR CHOATE. “It was on Monday, I think, that, Choate concluded his argument. Mr. Webster was to speak the next day, and that night the Middlesex bar (that is, Boston), gave a din ner to the State bar. Choate and Webster were there, and I was present. Choate was all worn out from his speech during the dav, and had to retire very soon. When Web ster came in the banquet room (it was at the Revere House) everybody stood back with awe. No one went up to talk with him, and it was with evident relief that he saw me standing in the middle of the room, and he came up at once and entered into conversation. We had been in the same case so long that wo had como to be on easy terms. AVe conversed for some time, speak ing of Choate’s effort of the (lay. and Web ster spoke in the most complimentary terms of Choate’s powers. The two men had the highest regard for each other. Choate adored Webster, and AA r ebster had the high est admiration for Choate. He fully appre ciated his g: eat genius. CHOATE AS AX ORATOR. “Choate was the greatest American ora tor,” the judge continued. “I think there are three men who must tie recognized as tho greatest orators of America, and I will name them in the order of their genius. They were Rufus Choate. AVendell Phillips anil Henry Ward Beecher. Beecher made many common-place speeches, but could and did say some grand things. Phillips never delivered an address that was not a mavel of oratory. Choate was the peer of any of the great Roman orators. Choate was one of the warmest, most sympathetic, aud gonial men in the world. His genius entered into his fellowship aud ripened and mellowed it.” RIGHT SMART NEBRASKA BOY. A Story of Him Told by His Admiring Parent. From the Chicago Herald. “I want to tell you a little story about my boy out in Neivbraskey,” said an old farmer in the smoking car to tho party of drum mers who had been telling him some pretty tall yarns. “My boy is a good deal of a genius in bis way. lenune tell you, and none of ’em gets ahead of him. T’other day he rigged up a kite. It was the biggest kite I’d ever set eves on. It was about 0 feet ■wide, an’ 1 wire as long, an’ on the top of it. my boy placed a few green branches which he’d cut from a cottonwood tree. ‘AYbat’s them fori’ I inquired. ‘Never you mind, dad,’says be; ‘I know what I'm about.’ Ana, by gosh, he did. He flew that kite up in the air an’ stood watchin’ of it far a long time, w hen I saystohim: ‘You’d better pull that thing down, now, an’ get to your work.’ ‘Lemma alone, clad,’ be replied, ‘l’ll git that yet.’ And, by gosh, he did. The next time I took a look at him he was a-liauling in on the kite lino, with a snuie on his face as broad as a furrer. AYhen the kite came down near the ground I saw what ho was smilin’ at, an’ it was enough to make a body smile, too. Any you fellers want to guess what was on that kito?” None of the drummers wanted to guess, and the old man continued lus story. “Wall, sir, a-sitin’ on the top o’ that kito was eleven o’ the purtiest wild geese ye ever saw. Yes, sir, eleven on'em. You see, the geese was (lyin’ north purfcy thick, and my boy had got up this soheino to catch’em. There ain’t many trees out our way, un niter a fat goose has been filin’ party steady all day l:e gits kind o’ tired an’ looks around lor a place to sit down mi’ rest. That’s just what my boy was countin’ -on when he built tlmt ’ kito. l!y offerin' the gt cc a place to stop au' rest, an’ by smear in’ the top o’ the Lite, with tar so their feet would stick so tout they couldn’t get, away, lie did the business. Bygosb! but it was fun to pull them geese iu. Just as fast as we could send the kite up and pull her down again wo got from ten to a dozen geese, an’ in four day's we captured six car load*, au’ I'm taldn’ ’em to Chicago now to sell. None o’ you smart, story-teiim’ fellers don’t happen to know what wild geese is wuth now in the Chicago market, do ye?” It is a Fact AVell established, that consumption, if at tended to in its first stages, can be cured. Thera is, however, no true and rational way to cure this disease, which is really scrofu lous ulceration of the lungs, except t hrough purifying the blood. Keep the h\er in per fect order and pure blood will lie the result. Dr. Pierce's “Golden Medical Discovery,” a purely vegetable rein pound, does all this and more; while it purities tho blood it also builds up the system, streugthe.’iing it against fu ture attacks of disease. Ask for Dr. Pierce s “Golden Medical Discovery.” Take no other. Of druggists. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MAY 17, I**7. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENT A WORD.

Mai W, 1087. EMORY St'tjEK c. n. noit>KTTs coLtrsnti A HOME WITHIN - The Reach of Any. I have on my list a few lots, well located, at prices ranging from $350 to $1,500. A cash payment ranging from $lOO to $5OO will secure one of these lots. Abundant time will be al lowed on the balance. The first step towards se curing a home is to get the lot, It is folly to wait until you have the cost of lot and house in hand. There are hundreds who have been waiting for this for years and who are no nearer the consummation of their wishes than when they first began. There are thousands who have died waiting for that kind of “something to turn up.” The greatest incentive to economy is owing a balance on your home. Real estate advances faster than your savings increase. A lot purchased judiciously now will pay more than 4 per cent, (savings banks’ rate) per annum. The successful men of this city have made their money out of Real Estate. The far seeing men are put ting their money into vacant lots. The wise man buys on a rising market If you can not afford to pay for a lot on Bull street, buy one where you can afford to live. Procrastination is the thief of profits. The prices of last May now seem ridiculously low. The prices of to-day will seem marvelously low next May. TO-DAY There is less Real Estate on the market than at any time in ten years. There are more buyers than sellers, and this will continue as long as our city compares so favorably with every city in the South. The property that is changing hands is being purchased by those who are able to hold. The encouraging feature of the market is that the demand is from those who are buying homes. I have a few desirable resi dences which I will be glad to name to investors. C. H. Dorset!, Pool Cos ♦<-♦>- 3
