This achievement is made the more brilliant by the unhappy experience of two or three lawyers who were hired for short intervaln to precede Mr. Pecorn, and who had a sorry time of it; not so much from the recal- ditrancy of witnesses as from the persistent desire among the Son- do all the questioning ators to themselves.
