Boutwell's plea would doubtless have seemed persuasive enough to the partisan, if intellig^it gatherings in Faneuil Hall, but it was lost upon the able lawyers of the Senate, who must have regarded him as a mere novice in their profession.^ Groesbeck made the most eloquent speech of all.' « No one who heard it," writes Moorfield Storey, « can forget the wonderful impression which the brief argu- ment of Mr. Groesbeck made upon the Senate and the audience. Beginning at noon, his voice an hour la...ter had become so husky as to be almost inaudible.* An earlier recess was taken on that account, and when he began again his voice gradually cleared, until during the last hour he addressed a crowded but absolutely still cham- ber. No senator wrote on his desk, no page was sum- moned, no conversation could be heard in gallery or cloak room, and a silence prevailed almost unknown in the Senate while every one listened with rapt attention to each word that the speaker uttered. It was an ora- torical feat which had no parallel at that trial, and few in the experience of the Senate." * Stevens followed Groesbeck and (in my opinion) made the ablest argument for the prosecution.
