Carl knew he didn’t want to discuss the Louis Harding issue in his chambers, in fact, Carl really didn’t want to discuss it anywhere in public either – or in Louis Harding’s office. This made it all the more difficult to structure the opportunity to have a confidential meeting. Carl thought of a plan where no one would interfere or suspect the agenda. Carl’s brother-in-law, Phil, was a Senior Executive at Andersen Corporation in Bayport, about 26 miles from Minneapolis. Carl asked Phil if he might be able to use the company’s board room for a private meeting after hours. Without telling Phil the details, but assuring him it was needed for good reason, Phil gave him various dates that the room would be available. Carl thanked him and said he would let him know what date could be confirmed.

     Next, Carl had to figure out a way to get Louis Harding to Bayport for a meeting. ‘I’ll just be cryptic when I call him,’ thought Carl.

With the car packed and the fillets on ice the three judges headed back to the big city. The drive from Hubbard County is quite spectacular. The sky looked like a big dome containing all the snow covered fields and woods for as far as the eye could see. Everything appeared white and glistening like diamonds in the sunshine. Carl had a special pair of dark glasses that deflected the glare and made it easier to drive on the highway.

     “Okay, we have to talk about this,” John G. declared changing the small talk. “I know this isn’t an easy discussion, but is essential.”

Ole stared directly at John G., “This is putting some bad law on the books, John – you can’t tell me this doesn’t bother you? I have to tell you both straight out that if I didn’t know about the pension fund issues, I’d think we’d look just plain incompetent… and I know some people are already saying that. We’re a pretty conservative community with a telegraph tree on the Internet. Every time I deny a homeowner’s foreclosure complaint it’s all over the social media. I’ve run out of creative ways to deny these homeowners and say, ‘you can appeal me, but you still have to move out, unless the appellate court gives you a stay.’ Now, you want us to go after a decent attorney just because he can’t be persuaded to quit his representation of homeowners?

John G. hesitated with a guilt-ridden stammer, “Louis Harding.” ‘Oh my God’ Ole thought, ‘there but for the grace of God go I.’

“You don’t mean “Saint” Louis Harding, do you?” questioned Carl. John G. raised his eyes, looked upward and nodded.  

“I worked with him in the Public Defender’s office. His nick name was “Saint Louis” because he was so pure… so honorable, I mean he should have been appointed to a US District Court judge position. Is this really necessary, I mean, isn’t there another way?” Ole asked. “We’re elected, not appointed – if this gets out we could get creamed in an election.”

Whether it was the wind that day or the position between the camps, Erik and Howard could hear the entire conversation the judges were having. It was like the old well-known oddity of the placement of John Quincy Adam’s desk in the U.S. Capitol where he could hear everything people said — even whispers — from clear across the room. Normally, Erik and Howard wouldn’t hear anything coming from the judges’ camp. But today the word “foreclosure” peaked Erik’s hearing and he wanted to hear more.

Three Minnesota judges got together at least twice a month in various forms of recreation depending upon the season. In the summer Ole, John G. and Carl (their names have been changed to protect their identities) would golf and invite a lucky soul to be their foursome. Otherwise, as in the winter, the three would go fishing. “No man can fish and worry at the same time,” John G. would always say.

The three men were like-minded and all about the same age, with Judge John G. being the oldest and a ringer for the good looks of George Clooney. They were closer than most brothers and more reliable – a trait that they all shared like their passion for law, common interests, and political views.  After an appointment to the bench, being elected meant keeping a polished appearance in public. All three judges were impeccably dressed and well-groomed that over the years had become an unspoken competition. Having three physically attractive judges with courtrooms all on the same floor was just a fluke – but the courthouse employees, as well as the general public, had nicknamed the third floor Hollywood Hall.
