Judge Coyle Celebrated for Wit and Legal Skill
Swea City Herald notes the late Judge D B Coyle of the Mth Judicial District, a four man whose keen legal mind and dry humor endeared him to the Kossuth County Bar. A remembered court moment had him quizzing a Russian woman about who makes our laws, ending with a gentle jest about state and nation.
