(From oar rcgvter Correspondent) As the Thaw trial approaches, interest centers in Martin W. Littleton, the new leading law yer for the defense. Littleton's life Is interesting; only 85 years ' old, yet he ranks already at the' bead of the criminal bar m New York City. Born in Teunessee, of poor parents, early moving to Texas, the young man at six teen was a "track walker*' on one of the railroads of that state. Without usual educational advantages, he educated him self; read law at odd times and while working for his daily bread, the young man entered a law office in Texas, showed the stuff be was made of, married, came to New York unknown und without means, but with deter mination ? that quality best of all qualities. Thaw searched the United' States for the best ability; tried Delmas of California. Now at the second trial, he is to be de fended by the yet young Souther ner, he and his friends believing that in Littleton, they will have unquestionably the best talent obtainable. Martin W. Littleton was born in 1872 in a log cabin in Tennes see; was a "track walker" at 16 years of age in Texas, a baker's assistant and farm hand in youth; did chores and went to school one term; studied law and was admitted to the bar at nine teen; outgrew the town of Weatherford and weut to Dallas at the age of twenty-one; came to New York at twenty-four, made a speech which nominated Parker for the Presidency in 1904; at 31, was Borough Presi dent of Brooklyn, and at 35 is selected us chief couusel in the most noted criminal case of the day.
