Valparaiso Dally Sun: In the village of Cedar Lake, near Knox, the county seat of Starke county, and not far from there, lives quietly a man whose name ten years ago was on everybody’s lips, a household word. To-day, no one ever hears of him, As a lawyer, he won world-wide notoriety by a single case, upon which during all its length was riveted the breathless attention of a globe. To-day, with a fair com petency gained by his practice, he resides quietly in the little country town in which his modest shingle, flapping in the occasional breeze, tells to the noticing passer by the fact that the little within is occupied by “George Scoville, Attomey-at-Law and Notary Public.’’ Very few who pass the cultured, refined-looking gentleman On the street—very fen even of his clients—know that ht worked long and faithfully in a hope less cause—an endeavor to save Iron ignominous death upon the gallowi ms wife’s own brother, Charles, Julei Guiteau, the slayer of the martyret president, Garfield.
