Roher: . Taylor of ?t. Piul. Minn., one
of the most famous court reporters In t!ie

"The record In the Standard Oil case Is
undoubtedly the largest In history." said
Air. Tartar "The record of typewritten
paes would stand seven feet hign from the
floor, and I marie on ;hn average ahout
ten cupiee of each sheet. Printed In book
form, and of course this greatly reduced
its bulk. It aompnsed tw-nty-one large
volumes."
"It was a wonderful case. John D. Rock
efeller was on the stand a full week, and
his voice was remarkable to hear. You
mi!it have thought that It would be a
lluie squeaky, but not so. Ha spoka more
clearly and his voice had more carrying
power than that of any other witness in
the case.
"But he was not eauy to tako. While he
spoke dlKtlnctly he talked with painful
slowness and his senwnit-s would become
Involved and confuted. Mr Archibold, for
II, he spoke 21' words to the minute, was
easier to report stenngnpnically.
"There were great lawyers present. Had

Insists on carrying the whole cans himself.
Ho cannot work well with other lawyers
Unless they let htm do the whole thing.
Ho has scored in the Sanborn jjartslnn a
wonderful victory. Even If the decision
should not effect the Standard Oil company
muc h, tt Is a great victory for Kellogg as
a lawyer."
