Mr.Webster came to the next trial prepared with an attack on Huntington, in writing, covering many pages, denouncing his method and conduct.
This he read to my brother.

But Huntington who, as I have said, adored Webster, was unwilling to have another encounter-- not in the least from any dread of his antagonist, but solely from his dislike to have a quarrel with the man on earth he most reverenced.

Accordingly, Mr.Wells, the District Attorney of Greenfield, was called in, who conducted the trial at Lowell and succeeded in getting a conviction.

My brother, who was very fond of Huntington, took an occasion some time afterward to tell Mr.Webster how much Huntington regretted the transaction, and how great was his feeling of reverence and attachment for him.

Mr.Webster was placated, and afterward, when an edition of his speeches was published, sent a copy to Huntington with an inscription testifying to his respect.
The general reader may not care for the legal history of the trial, but it may have a certain interest for lawyers.
