"Howard." in the Philadelphia Press,
thus entertaingly writes of a matter that
is legally permitted and is practiced and
contrived at by those who. first of all,
are supposed to uphold law and equity
and prevent robbery in any form: .
The fees which lawyers receive are of
interest usually only to the brethren of
their profession and those who pay them.
Sometimes when men gain fame, as
Conkling did in politics and Charles
O’Connor did at the her. there is popular
interest in these earnings, and is also the
cue whena fee of unusual size is paid.
When the Fayerweather will was ofler-
ed for probate. and announcement was
nude of a contest, the impression was
that the opportunity for the coming of
fees which because of their size would
become traditional would be sure to be
taken speedy advantage of.
Some of the most distinguished law-
yers of New York and a few from other
cities appeared in the court room at the
time of the first hearing. that one in
which Frederic Coudert denounced the
will as a fraud upon its face. and there—
by, inferentially at least, making accu—
sations against one of the members of
the bar. Gen. Woodt'ord's partner.
Thomas D. Ritch.
Not far from six millions of dollars
was the appraised value of Mr. Fayet-
Weather's estate. He left no children,
and his widow was an invalid whose
days. according to her physician. were
numbered. There were no collateral
heirs and some twenty colleges which
had suddenly became enriched by this
will of a man who was not estimated be-
fore his death to be even a millionaire,
excepting by a few of his closest
friends.
The litigations have extended now
over a period of four years, and distin-
guished counsel have continued in the
case. The executors have disposed of
some millions. and they have some mi]-
lions in their hands. and a short while
ago in proceedings in court information
of some of the counsel {we was made
public.
For instance. John Ii. Parsons. whose
friends say that he is fond of thc repute
. which he has of having ”thc linest prac-
tice at the English speakingr bar," ro-
ceived 3315.000. and OX-Jlillgc .lruoux the
same amount for servicz-sus counsel to
the evccutors.
This does not represent all of their
earnings, for before the lust accounting
Judge Arnoux- had received smumo up-
on one occasion for services and Mr.
Parsons Smooth. and then again n. second
time these two counsels divided $ll.0llO
between them for a. later service. So
far, then. it appears that both have re-
ceived $120,000.
Other lawyers of less conspicuous re-
lations to the case have received propor-
tionately less sums. but it is understood
by members of the bar here that not far
from Smooth) has been the reward of
the lawycrs up to this time for their for-
tunate association with this single
case.
When the Havemeycrs. desiring to
imitate the Rockefellcrs. sought to es-
tablish it sugar trust. they retained Mr.
Paysons for that difficult and delicate
work. The precise amount of the re-
tainer and fees he and they ofcourse
alone know. but it has always been the
belief of the, members of m.- bar here
that Parsons was paid thc largest sum
ever received by a lawyer in New York
city for u singlc service.
Reports hurls differed as to the pre-
cise amount. Home lawyers haw said
that Mr. Parsons in all call'ncd not far
from SNIUJIHH. Others say that his fee
was $~Illll.lllul. and that lno-arnol consid—
erably more by the appreciation of the
