Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Joseph Hodges Choate, Vol. 2: As Gathered Chiefly From His Letters; Including His Own Story of His Boyhood and Youth In March, 1895, Mr. Choate made an argument before the Supreme Court against the income tax and re-argued it in May of the same year. It has been considered his greatest argument on a matter purely of law. His record is full of celebrated cases. He once said his most famous exploit at law was the Fitz-John Porter case because two court-martials had decided it adversely and the true facts were very hard to gather and put before a court. But then he did that comparatively early in his practice, which perhaps made him look the more kindly on it. Mr. Strong says that the Sage-Laidlaw case provided jury trials as famous as any in the New York records, but neither the Porter nor the Laidlaw case had much to do with the law. The lay pubic inclined to suppose that Mr. Choate was not much of a lawyer, but was a considerable humorist, but in the income-tax case he had no compunction about furnishing the evidence to destroy that theory.
