COL HINES HOLT. • >* Years ago the Columbus bar, as now, was the equal of any in Geor¬ gia. ^JsSif were eminent in law learning, refinement,shrewdness,cour¬ tesy and all that makes a distinguish Jed barrister. Among these none stood higher than Col. Hines Holt. He k>v$d the law for its own sake as the faithful and beautiful science human right . He loved to analyze its principles, reconcile apparent con iradicttoBi-arid harmonize its utter ante's ii^p symmetrical form beauty. He wis an eminent lawyer in the'courts and shrewd beyond many of bis compeers. A notable case was :S» n the Super|af p court of the county of R—. Cot Alexander McDougald repre* sealed the plaintiff and Col. Holt th&defendank Lrsfe The case involved^ attention. Both announced ready and a large number of witnesses were examined. The case was complica ' 5 } r -,yt > *• * ted, but the weight of evidence was decidedly with the plaintiff. Col. McDdtlgald made one of his grand speeches, pungent and convincing, 4tl( j concluded with an eloquent eo : - Ipg/ on the right of trial>y jury. He consumed nearly three hours in its delivery, and it was evident that the jury was very tired, Col. Holt, in a conversational way, spoke about as fo ows : “Gentle uicn of the jury, my brother McDou ^ald has made an eloquent speeches Jo, is so capable of doing. As you all know he is a very shrewd lawyer, and if he hail not known that such u« speech was necessary he would not have made it. He hoped to gain his case by his eloquence and no by the testimony. Now gentlemen, the de¬ fence needs no speech and I shall not make any. You are sensible men; do justice between these partirt. Simple justice is ail my client asks and I believe you will give it to him," and he sat down. After the charge of the court the jury retired and soon returned with a verdict for defebd ant All Resent decided that there nev¬ er had been a shrewder defetise ifi case. GA.,.NOVEMBER II. 1887. One 1 of the jury was afterwards in¬ terrogated how he reached that ' 1 ver¬ dict. “Why” says he, ‘don't you know that Col.
