One on Rufus ,Choate.

Judge Parry, in a recent article on “Rufus Choate, Advocate,” says on occasion Choate would meet with his Sam Weller. Defending a prisoner - theft of money frbm a ship, a witness was called who had turned state’s evidence and whose testimony went to prove that Choate’s client 'had insti-' gated the theft. “Well,” asked Choate, "what did he say? Tell us how and what he spoke to you.” “Why,” said the witness, "he told us there was a man in Boston named Choate and he’d get us off if they caught us with the money in our boots.” •
