| biography:
| Lawyer and writer, born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Twice assistant district attorney in New York (1901–8, 1913–15), he began publishing his ‘court stories’ in 1904. After 1922 he devoted his full time to writing stories, urbane novels, and non-fiction works based on courtroom experiences, his well-loved character, Ephraim Tutt, appearing as lawyer-hero in over 80 stories (1919–45). The fictional Yankee Lawyer: The Autobiography of Ephraim Tutt (1943) was so convincing that Who's Who asked Tutt to fill out its form. |
