Solicitor-General W. T. Roberts is
entirely himself, and is as spry and
chipper as a spring bird. The genial
Slate’s Attorney has a few new sto
ries in his line repertoire ofanecdote,
and he rings the bulls eye every time
he relates one of his latest.
Court Stenographer H.M.Nicholes
hale and hearty, clever and oblig
ing—is one of the accustomed figures
at the bar, and is never in bad humor
except when a case is tried "without
evidence.”
Judge W. C. Knight, Polk’s ven
erable patriurch at the Temple of
Justice, is a fixture in the public
mind with Ihe clerk’s office, and
with liis efficient deputy, Mr. W. L.
Knight, calls the roll of jurors with
a familiarity born of a quarter of a
century service.
Sheriff John flulehings rapped
for order Monday morning with the
self-assurance of a veteran, and al
though he is a new hand at the busi
ness, he is making one of the best
police officials who ever stood guard
at the county jail or commanded the
peace at Ihe court house. His two
clever and active deputies, Messrs.
J. F. Carmichael and J. E. Dempsey,
are valuable assistants in executing
the orders of the court and serving
official papers.
