cases in which he says in part gilad had iliad it been originally su supposed that the cases jouit would occupy tik the time they did probably the rate nixed fixed would not have been asked or given when however the trial was tediously 11 protracted by the folley policy of defense tie the sum suin total paid pah for the services of bliss did appear excessive and accordingly I 1 urged some abatement to be made by him as I 1 did also to other counsel kerrs bill was reduced and merrick made a reduction at my request but bliss insisted upon f full fuli ull uli compliance with requirements
