Excerpt from The Telephone Appeals (January 24-February 8, 1887) Mr. Dickerson: May it please the Court: - Our learned and respected brother, Mr. Edmunds, towards whom, if he will excuse the liberty I take, I may say that, in consequence of something he said in this case, I feel more kindly than I ever have felt before, told your Honors, in his pleasant banter, that our side did not read the scriptures, but that his did. I do not propose to traverse that assertion just now, and I ask a suspension of the judgment of the Court until we can produce the proof; but I will admit that his side reads the good book, and that in it they found these words of wisdom: "In the multitude of counselors there is safety." I always supposed that to mean safety for the counselors. He also probably found in that same book an account of a very celebrated and just man who was clad in a coat of many colors. Perhaps these various appellants are trying to imitate him. The imitation, if that be their purpose, falls short in the circumstance that the virtue is wanting. I think, however, that I know where the theory of this argument came from; and that my brother Lowrey will agree with me, because he also knows the same facts, and must perceive its true origin. I think it came from that distinguished man, Thomas A. Edison, otherwise called the "Wizard of Menlo Park."
