He wears a different tie to court every day and their florid colors are rivalled in the dull courtroom only by the countenances of his fellow prosecutors. Joseph I. Mulligan, Charles Dunn and Donald Brennan are a trio with vinous-colored faces and gray hair, that has rarely rustled from the branch, inhaling the soporific incense of their sedentary station at the prosecution table.
