The poet Edgar Lee Masters was a card playing buddy of Darrow’s. They spent a lot of time together, confided in each other.

When Masters’ marriage hit the skids, his wife retained Darrow as her lawyer. He knew everything to use against Masters.

That little episode speaks to the shark intellect of some lawyers. Whatever he did, it was not motivated by altruism.
