Excerpt from The Hon. Judge Wilmot: A Biographical Sketch His greatest defect, perhaps, was that he did not use his pen enough. He had a commanding presence. He had a rich, ringing, orotund voice, possessing great volume and strength. His memory enabled him to recall facts and incidents with great facility. His imagination was equal to any emergency.
