A WORD IN ADVANCE.

THERE is perennial interest in stories of the achievements of lawyers. One cannot read of the history of the Continental Congress, of the origin of a single State in the Union, or of the development of any commonwealth, without coming upon stories of bench and bar.

Nevada is not an exception to this sweeping statement. Even before the lawyers and their technical quibbling came, there was a well-defined order in the community of pioneers, in mining camps, and mountain fastnesses.

No matter how rude the civilization, especially among English- speaking people, some form of quasi-legal procedure springs up. The eloquent Bishop tells us, in his First Book of the Law, and elsewhere, that law is the order that pervades and controls the universe. It is for this reason that all communities struggle to administer it in some form or other; hence stories of bench and bar, anecdotes of contests, interpretations, and the culmination of the ambitions and intrigues of men.

When we think of Patrick Henry, of Choate, Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Hamilton, Voorhees, Ingersoll, Henry Clay Dean and other men eminent in statesmanship and oratory in the nation, it is to recall stories of bench and bar, for their great achievements, their training, and all their development were at one time or another in the atmosphere of courts.

The young man who reads Emerson's statement that the dream of youth and the most serious occupation of manhood is in the search for great men, will find that search oftenest rewarded, in the fields of brilliant achievement, in the arenas offered by courts of law. As the life, liberties, property rights, bequests, sacred wishes of the dying, and passions and intrigues of the living find their theater in the contentions of litigants, the intellectual combats of astute and eloquent lawyers, and the calm decisions of judges, whose motto was that justice be done, so the student of human conduct finds the note of joy and pain, of anxiety and care in the biographies of lawyers and the story of their triumphs and defeats. In the land of the argonauts history has been rich in incidents that the historian and the reader alike should find both valuable and entertaining.

With few exceptions the history of the bench and the bar of Nevada has been free from taint. Its record will compare favor- ably with that of other States, even of old and staid common- wealths.

4 HISTORICAL

Despite the joking of humorists and vaudeville performers, there is little justification for the reproach that has often been cast on the legal profession, yet such reflections have frequently, per- haps almost always, been cast on the profession. In the days of Longfellow it was said of his father that he was an "honest lawyer."

The writer came to the bar many years ago and soon became acquainted with all the profession then at the bar, including the "legal giants." He recalls that one of the honorable members of the profession once spoke to him as follows : "I have found in my experience at the bar and on the bench that the legal profession is the most honorable profession there is, and I will make no excep- tions."

An ex-chief justice of the United States said of Daniel Webster: "It is impossible to overestimate the support the court receives from the arguments of Mr. Webster. In his arguments, fidelity to the court is as conspicuous as fidelity to his client. It was not client first and conscience afterward, but duty to both, one and inseparable."

There was one traitor among the disciples of old, but exceptions should not prevail against the general rule among the legal pro- fession any more than others.

The object of every attorney, the same as that of the judge, should be to promote justice and thus keep up the standard. "Justice is the greatest interest of man on earth. Where her temple stands, and so long as duly honored, there is the foundation of social security, general happiness, and the improvements and pro- gress of the human race."

HISTORY OF THE BENCH AND BAR

The history of the Bench and Bar of Nevada, even if told in its simplest narrative form, without attempt at literary flourish or embellishment, ought to prove most interesting reading, even to the laity, for it really constitutes a fairly accurate history of the State of Nevada itself.

Long before Nevada reached the dignity of statehood its fame as one of the richest treasure houses in the world had spread to the four corners of the globe. Even in those days of crude transportation facilities, the news of the discovery of a new Golconda had traveled afar with the rapidity of the wireless tele- graphic communication of today. Tales of Nevada's inexhaustible mineral desposits attracted men of all conditions from all the world, and, although it is a moot question whether the Constitution always follows the flag, it is an absolute certainty that litigation always follows the discovery of great mineral deposits.

This theory is founded on the most ancient authority known to the philosophical writ of the world, for thus wrote the Oriental sage, Confucius, some centuries before the dawn of our Christian era : "Men who dare delve in the earth in search of Nature's hid- den treasure must of a certainty wrangle in myriad disputes over the possession of that which none hath honest title. When such evil befalls, then shall the arbiter grasp the sceptre of authority." Even the foregoing bit of hoary, Oriental philosophy might be read as a parable to illustrate the functions of Bench and Bar in Nevada.

The history of the Bench and Bar of no other civilized com- munity on earth could furnish half as many picturesque characters or romantic incidents as that of Nevada. Even during the crude era of Territorial misrule, jurists of brains, ability and lofty aspira- tions had been attracted to the Nevada then in process of incu- bation, by the glitter of gold. However sincere may have been their reverence for the ethics of their profession, there was still another code in existence which involved the first law of Nature; self protection.

Hence, even as in the days of medieval chivalry, every man was a law unto himself, and the "six-shooter" was considered as much a part of a gentleman's equipment as had been the sword during the middle ages. Breach of faith and other acts involving the honor of disputants were frequently settled on the spot through a rather crude application of the code duello, which sanctioned a great ad- vantage to the gentleman who drew first.

To be sure, this was but an unwritten law, but the pioneers of Nevada were not followers of Mohammed, blessed with a Koran to

6 HISTORICAL

tell them in rythmic measure, "It is written!" They found no written law; still, outraged honor and offended dignity must not go unpunished, and according to the testimony of living witnesses the unwritten law was not so badly administered after all. At any rate its prompt execution engendered fear in the hearts of the dis- honorably lawless.

The mineral wealth hidden beneath Nevada's rock-ribbed hills even exceeded the dreams of fiction writers in their wildest flights of imagination. Veins were uncovered, so rich that the precious combinations of metals were literally carved out in a state of almost native purity, and at a time when silver was at a premium.

Nothing so excites the cupidity of man as even the reported discovery of hidden wealth, and quite naturally, as in the case of Nevada, such news attracted men of every degree of intelligence and integrity, not to mention many absolutely lacking in the latter virtue. Men located claims regardless of prior rights of others. Claims paralleled and even cross-cut each other at right angles. Disputes arose which eventually developed into an almost endless chain of litigation which taxed the litigants to the extent of many millions of dollars.

Surely, never before in the history of civilization was a com- munity more sorely in need of an intelligent Bench and Bar to untangle its snarl of deadly disputes, than Nevada in the days im- mediately following the discovery of its buried resources.

The call was heard and heeded by the very flower of the legal profession in many adjoining, even distant States. It brought men of mature years well versed in every precedent of jurisprudence, together with the beardless embryo, proud possessor of a crackling, shiny sheepskin and a legal library of two volumes labeled respec- tively: Blackstone and Kent. Poor of purse were the youthful pioneers of Nevada's Bar, but they were happy in the possession of an almost inexhaustible bank account of virility, ambition and hope.

Ambitious youth and mellowed maturity fought manfully the great legal battles of Nevada; face to face, or shoulder to shoulder, as Fate decreed. Each celebrated case meant a clash of legal giants who neither asked nor gave quarter. The pace was vigorous, but the reward was liberal. Many fell in battle, but none surrendered.

Practicing Without Precedent.

During the early history of Nevada's Bench and Bar both at- torneys and judges were practically navigating the craft of Justice without the aid of chart or compass. The problems demanding solution were absolutely new to the legal world. Never before had

HISTORICAL 7

it been necessary for any court to pass upon titles of such mar- velously rich mineral lodes whose boundaries could only be roughly guessed at from the contour of the earth's surface. And never before in the world's history had lodes of such enormous propor- tions been followed and worked on what mariners might have called "dead reckoning."

Throughout those indefinite days of Territorial regime there were no statutes to guide the way, and without statutes how were precedents to be established? One might say that the pioneer Bench and Bar of that wild mining camp was forced to hark back to first principals and Common Law, which tells us that "Law is founded on common sense and reason." Such a wise conclusion must have proved a great equalizer and a blessing to the young attorney fresh from college, and well grounded in all the tenets of the profession. It assured him a fair start in the race with his elders whose long years of practice had perfected them in the more subtle technique which invariably accompanies the handling of precedents.

That total absence of precedent was once the occasion of quite an original remark uttered by the late Senator William M. Stewart, then one of the shining young legal lights of the local bar. Mr. Stewart had asked for a ruling which the court was inclined to con- sider unreasonable. "But, Mr. Stewart," interpolated His Honor, "How can you expect me to entertain such a request? We find no precedent."

"Then, Your Honor, let us make one !" was Stewart's quick reply. "In all this vast Territory we find no precedent for any- thing. We have no statutes, so we can only quote from memory, and as mortal man is prone to err, our memory might be faulty. In my opinion it is time we pulled off our coats and made a little history on our own account. In this particular instance, so far as I am concerned, I am quite willing to accept Your Honor's ruling, and respect it as reverently as I shall after it has been confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States."

Needless to say, Mr. Stewart's eloquent plea containing such a cleverly implied compliment to the court carried, and the ruling was made in his favor.

Nevada Was Born Amidst Legal Squabble.

Hurbert Howe Bancroft, the historian, in his history of Nevada, rather infers that the old Territory came into existence through a series of legal and political squabbles, and, reading be- tween the lines one might infer that Nevada was lucky to have ever been born at all. We quote the following lines from his description of some of the early struggles :

8 HISTORICAL

"In this year (1858) Carson City was laid out in Eagle Valley by Abraham V. Z. Curry, who erected a stone house, which was followed the same year by three or four others ; but no rapid influx of population followed that year or the next. Only at one point was there any perceptible increase in population, and that was at what is now Gold Hill, where the discovery of rich placers in 1859 had attracted the usual rush of miners which follows a report of new gold diggings.

"By this mixed and migratory population the need of some laws and regulations was felt, 'and they, accordingly, on the llth of June, agreed among themselves to adopt certain simple rules of conduct, and to enforce them on others.

"At the same time certain politicians stood ready to avail them- selves of the suggestion toward another effort for a separate terri- torial organization, and to make use of the feeling against the Mormons of eastern Utah to give force to their arguments. These patriots called a mass meeting for the 6th of June at Carson City, which meeting divided Carson County into precincts for election purposes, and called an election to take place on the 14th of July, to choose a delegate to visit Washington city and complete the work begun by Crane of getting a bill through Congress creating the territory of Nevada, and to elect delegates to a convention to be held at Genoa on the 18th of July, when the votes for delegate would be counted, and other business connected with the proposed change of government be attended to.

"The convention met pursuant to appointment, remaining in session nine days. It was not altogether a harmonious session, the majority being determined to consider it a convention to frame a constitution for a provisional government, which Congress would be asked to recognize, as in the case of Oregon, and a minority insisting that the delegates had been elected merely to provide for a constitutional convention to be held in the future by other dele- gates elected for the purpose. A constitution was, however, framed, modelled closely after that of California, and adopted by a vote of the people on the 7th of September.

"Xo record has been preserved of the election returns, but there is evidence that the majority for a constitution was about four hundred, and that Crane was re-elected delegate, and that Isaac Roop was elected Governor, although the board of canvassers failed to meet to canvass the votes, and the certificate of the president of the board, J. J. Musser, alone testified to the result. * * * *

"Immediately after the election the probate judge, John S. Child, appointed by the Utah Legislature, attempted to re-establish the authority of the probate court of Carson County, by giving notice of a term commencing on the 12th of September, at Genoa,

HISTORICAL 9

P. H. Lovell, clerk ; but the only business transacted at the term was the appointment of a coroner, W. P. Morrison, to sit upon the body of John Buckley, killed in a quarrel, and the application of Rebecca A. Bristol for a divorce from Essie C. Bristol, which was granted.

"Judge Child made a further effort to recognize the county by calling an election for the 8th of October, first dividing the county into ten precincts. Out of the ten, only three opened any polls, and the officers elected in these refused to qualify, although their commissions were forwarded by Governor Cummings, successor to Governor Young, with his urgent advice to them to do so, and the county continued to be without a proper corps of officers.

"But if the courts of Utah could not sustain their authority against the people, neither could the United States court properly administer the laws of the country. John Cradlebaugh, one of the district judges appointed to Utah, was assigned to Carson County, and arrived in the summer of 1859 at Genoa, where the grand jury of the second district congratulated him, in their report of October 25th, upon the organization of a court of justice, 'under the im- mediate protection of the United States flag,' but they had not taken into account the difficulty of establishing courts, against which the laws practiced in them raised insuperable obstacles, controlling, as they did, the marshalships and the juries, to say nothing of the witnesses. The people, instead of welcoming Judge Cradlebaugh, were opposed to his holding court as a branch of the Utah govern- ment, and his position became as disagreeable to him as it was useless to them. * * * * *

"All efforts to revive the county organization had failed, but the hearts of the patriots had not. A misfortune had befallen them in the loss of their delegate-elect, Crane, who died suddenly of heart disease on the 27th of September, at Gold Hill. An election for his successor was held November 12th, resulting in the choice of J. J. Musser; also an election for members of the legislative as- sembly, which was appointed to meet in December. The vote for Governor was canvassed ; Roop was declared elected, and duly sworn in by F. M. Preston, United States commissioner for the second judicial district.

"On the 21st of November the inhabitants of Carson Valley held another meeting, at which a memorial to Congress was adopted, asking for the organization of the territory of Nevada. On the 15th of December four members of the legislature-elect met at the house of J. B. Blake of Genoa, O. H. Pierson, speaker, H. S. Thompson, clerk, and J. H. McDougal, sergeant-at-arms. Governor Roop delivered his message, some resolutions were passed, a com- mittee was appointed to draw up a memorial to Congress, and the

10 HISTORICAL

Legislature being without a quorum, was then adjourned to the first Monday in July. In his message the Governor alluded to the peculiar condition of western Utah, and the helplessness of the United States Judge, Cradlebaugh, to administer the laws of the country, but expressed his confidence in the justice of Congress, and in the disposition of the people to wait upon its action. The administration of Governor Roop was entirely of the negative kind, and corresponded in this respect with the two other governments exercising a nominal authority over the country. But the faith of the people in congressional interposition was destined to another year of trial. Delegate Musser returned from Washington, having done no more than to reiterate the appeals of his constituents and his predecessor, which reiteration may have served' to deepen the impression already produced, and thereby hasten in some degree the end."

The foregoing paragraphs borrowed from the work of one of the world's greatest historians shows that Nevada came into exist- ence through a long-drawn-out chain of legal and political difficul- ties, and results show most palpably that both State and Territory owe a debt of gratitude to the members of its Bench and Bar for their heroic and untiring efforts to bring order out of chaos.

In following the events leading throughout the early history of Nevada, it will be noticed that in every instance it was the mem- bers of the legal profession who spurred the people on to a realiza- tion of their constitutional rights. Laymen knew their rights, but they lacked the initiative to declare and fight 'for them, and it was only through the guidance of minds that had been trained to battle for the rights of others that the people triumphed in the end.

The legal literature of every mineral producing State in the Union owes much to the Bench and Bar of Nevada; to the Bench for the volumes of decisions concerning the disputes of miners and mine owners, many of which have been confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, the only court in the civilized world whose decrees are final and from which there is no appeal ; to the Bar for the able and masterly manner in which cases of such para- mount importance have been presented and argued for the edifica- tion of the court.

From the days of Nevada's infancy -when it was but one of the far western counties of the Territory of Utah, its Bench and Bar has, in a collective sense, been making legal history for America. From the early '50's almost to the very close of the last century, about every imaginable question involving the legal rights of mine owners has been threshed out and definitely settled for all time. Thus has precedent been established by a State which in the be-

HISTORICAL 11

ginning of its legal career was absolutely lacking in any suspicion of precedent upon which to base decisions.

Sad to say, but a few members of the old guard of Nevada's Bench and Bar are with us today to comment upon the facts as set forth in this volume. Most of those whose honored names illumine the pages of this history of the Bench and Bar have themselves passed into the shadowy realms of history, and the remaining few have reached that phase in the seven ages of man the immortal bard has so tenderly described as the "sere and yellow leaf/' The remaining few will undoubtedly enjoy living again in the retrospec- tive through what the great French fictionist has called : "The brave old days when we were twenty-one."

But if Nevada's history of legal proceedings has done much to elevate the State's dignity in the literature of jurisprudence, she has not entirely escaped the irony of ridicule. In past years hu- morous writers throughout the United States have depended upon Nevada to furnish them with material. All of which came about through a provision in the statutes requiring but six months in which to acquire a legal residence. Beyond a doubt the provision was originally made in deference to the necessities of the early mining laws. However, the fact was discovered a few years ago, and was taken advantage of by mismated couples from many far distant States who flocked to Nevada where they might so easily establish such legal status as would enable them to more quickly dissolve the bonds they had once so solemnly sworn to cherish and reverence until death should intervene.

But the early history of what is now Nevada seems to have established a precedent in the matter of divorce proceedings. The following is copied from an old document belonging to a private collection of one of the oldest residents of the State :

"The Mormons first settled in Douglas County, Nevada, on July 4, 1851. (This does not have to do with an earlier settlement, which was later abandoned.) Genoa, as it is now called, at first went by the name of Mormon Station. A rude form of squatter government was immediately established. And it is established beyond question that the first 'legal' proceeding of any kind in Nevada was a 'divorce,' without court formality. So far as can be ascertained, the parties to the 'suit' submitted the matter to the settlers, and they decided that there should be a divorce. There- after the parties to the proceeding assumed all the rights of un- married persons, and, so far as known, both remarried. This pro- ceeding was in 1852."

By the foregoing bit of written history we might conclude that Nevada really inherited her reputation for what some prejudiced outsiders have been pleased to term "Rapid-fire divorce proceed-

12 HISTORICAL

ings." However, even that privilege has lately been relegated to the things that were, for during the month of June, 1913, Nevada sent out the following message to the world :

"Reno, Nevada, June 28. — Midnight, Monday, practically marks the end of the Reno divorce colony.

"After that hour it will no longer be possible for the divorce seeker to take advantage of the six months residence clause which for years has been in effect in Nevada.

Thus was ended a chapter in Nevada's history which will scarcely be regretted by the better element of the State's Bench and Bar, however it may be deplored by humorists in current literature.

History of Nevada's Bench and Bar in Chronological Order.

In compiling this history of the Bench and Bar the compilers have met with the usual difficulties such as must invariably occur in such works. It is extremely difficult to record all incidents in their proper chronological order and still retain the narrative in- terest quite necessary to insure smooth reading. In this respect a history differs materially from a work of fiction or even a book of travels, where events quite naturally follow each other in simple sequence.

The reader will notice that not infrequently it has been found necessary to return to the already ploughed field and once again turn the same furrow, as it were, in order to connect present and future events in such a manner as to make fair reading sense of the whole.

However, in a work of this character accuracy must rank as the principal asset, and in order to insure this it has been necessary to wade through an enormous mass of historical data and legal documents, including every page of court records still in existence in the State of Nevada. And it may be easily imagined that Time, the most troublesome of all iconoclasts, has not been idle during the many long years since this State was born of a Territorial parent.

But if careful attention to every detail, and the repeated re- vising of proofs can insure accuracy, the reader is assured that no effort has been spared on either of these items.

The history of the Bench and Bar of Nevada may be divided into three periods. First, the period when Nevada was a part of the Territory of Utah. Second, from the organization of the Ter- ritorial government of Nevada to the organization of the State Government. Third, from the organization of the State Govern- ment to the present time.

HISTORICAL 13

The Utah Regime.

Prior to the organization of Carson County, Utah Territory, there appears to have been little necessity for courts within the vast, almost unhabited territory between the Great Salt Lake and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The Legislative Assembly of Utah Territory, by an act approved by Governor Brigham Young, Jan- uary 17, 1854, created Carson County, which embraced the major portion of what is now the State of Nevada. By the terms of the act the Governor was empowered "to appoint a Probate Judge for said county, when he shall deem it expedient, and said Probate Judge, when appointed, shall proceed to organize said county, by dividing the county into precincts and causing an election to be held according to law, to fill the various county and precinct offices and locate the county seat thereof."

Prior to the organization of the county, however, a squatter government was established at "Mormon Station" (now Genoa). As early as 1853, one E. L. Barnard was acting as Justice of the Peace, and the first case ever instituted in the Territory was begun on March 14 of that year. The case was entitled John Reese v. Woodward & Co., and was an attachment suit for the recovery of $675.

"An Act in relation to the Judiciary," adopted by the Legislative counsel and approved by the Governor of Utah Territory, February 4, 1852, established District, Probate and County courts. In the case of District courts it was provided that "by the consent of the court and the parties, any person may be selected to act as judge for the trial of any particular cause or question ; and while thus act- ing he shall possess all the powers of the District Judge in the case." This provision had at least the merit of elasticity in re- lieving courts from congestion.

The act further provided that "The Probate Judge, in connec- tion with the select men, is hereby invested with the usual powers and jurisdiction of county commissioners * * * and in this connection they shall be known as the county court." This court had "the management of all county business." It will thus be seen that the Probate Judge was a functionary of no little importance.

In 1855, Orson Hyde was appointed Probate Judge for Carson County, and proceeded to organize the county by establishing the county seat at Mormon Station, giving it the name Genoa.

On the third of October, 1855, the first session of the Probate Court was held. The first record entry was in the case of James Mclntyre v. Asa A. Knouse, and was designated an action of "debit and damages." The proceedings upon that day seem to have con- sisted of the filing of the complaint for recovery of $187.75. A

14 HISTORICAL

copy of the complaint and writ were issued, which latter was made returnable October 12th, at nine o'clock. "On this day," says the record, "parties met at Cowin's house, and proceeded to trial with- out a jury, by agreement. Defendant filed his answer, and set off in the sum of $209.25, leaving a balance in his favor of $19.50. The court, on hearing the evidence and the pleas of the parties, and on careful examination of the accounts, ordered that judgment be ren- dered against Mclntyre, the plaintiff, in the sum of $24.50 (more than was asked in the set-off), tog-ether with the costs of suit, $14.00, making the full amount of the judgment against the plaintiff of $38.50."

The First Criminal Case.

On the 2nd of November, 1855, this court exercised its criminal jurisdiction for the first time in the case of a negro named Thacker, who was brought before Hyde, as Probate Judge, "for using language of a highly threatening character," he, Thacker, having said, "That he had spite enough in his heart against A. J. Wyckoff to kill him," and "that he could cut the heart out of Mrs. Jacob Rose and roast it on coals."

This inhuman wretch was dealt with in the vigorous manner following, as shown by the "docket" : To prevent the life of Thacker being taken on the spot, the Judge ordered his arrest, and although the language was proven to have been uttered by the ac- cused, yet the Judge held that it was no threat ; but, nevertheless, summed up by taxing Thacker with fifty dollars, for costs of suit, and advising him, "for his own safety," to go over the mountains to his master, in California.

The courts records the remark that "A man may have malice enough at heart to kill another and judgment and discretion to pre- vent him from committing the deed ; he may have the ability to cut a lady's heart out and roast it upon the coals, and at the same time he may have sense enough not to do it."

First Admission to the Bar.

On the 2nd of November, 1855, Dr. Charles D. Daggett and Soloman C. Perren were admitted to practice before the Probate Court.

By the Act of Congress approved September 9, 1850, creating the Territory of Utah, it was provided "That the judicial power of said Territory shall be vested in a Supreme Court, District Courts, Probate Courts and Justices of the Peace." The Supreme Court consisted of a chief justice and two associate justices who were to

HISTORICAL 15

be appointed by the President. Their salary was fixed at $1,800 per annum. The Territory was divided into three districts, each district having assigned to it one of the justices of the Supreme Court. The Chief Justices of the Territory of Utah, from the or- ganization of that Territory until the organization of the Territory of Nevada, were in the order of their appointment : Lemuel G. Brandeberg, Lozaras H. Read, Delana R. Eckels and John F. Kinney. The Associate Justices were: Perry E. Brocchue, Z. Snow, Leonidas Shaver, G. P. Stilles, C. W. Drummond, E. D. Potter, C. E. Sinclair, John Cradlebaugh, R. P. Flennicken and Henry R. Crosbie.

The first District Judge of the Territory of Utah to hold court in Carson County was Judge C. W. Drummond, who was appointed to his position by President Pierce, and was commissioned Sep- tember 12, 1854. In July of the year 1856, there came into Carson Valley from Salt Lake City about one hundred families, and with them came Judge Drummond for the purpose of holding a session of the Territorial District Court. His first official act appears to have been the drawing of a jury. This jury had no representative of the Morman faith upon it, and it would seem that this was an oversight which was not pleasing to the majority of the commun- ity. Nine days after the jury was impaneled, the Judge removed seven of the twenty-three Gentile members and substituted Mor- mons in their places.

The court was held at Mottsville, near Genoa, in Mott's barn, while the Grand Jury held its session in the house, and during the heat of the day in the blacksmith shop.

The Grand Jury, after its reformation, as above mentioned, found a true bill against two parties, one of whom bore the name of E. Lamb. Lamb was indicted for stealing two horses. He later made his escape from Mottsville, and in consequence was never tried on the charge for which he was indicted. It was always strongly contended by Lamb's friends that he was innocent of the charge.

For some act of contumacy, it is said that Judge Drummond threatened to "iron" the Grand Jury, but this does not seem to have taken the form of a judicial order, nor was the threat carried into effect. The Judge remained at Mottsville for about six weeks, and then departed for California, from whence he never returned to hold court in the county.

It was thought that Judge Drttmmond's judicial administration was as unsatisfactory to himself and all concerned, as the record of his proceedings is meager.

16 HISTORICAL

Drummond Succeeded by Cradlebaugh.

Judge Drummond was succeeded by John Cradlebaugh, com- missioned as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah by President Buchannan, June 4, 1858. Judge Cradlebaugh was as- signed to the district which included Carson County. He convened court at Genoa on the fifth day of September, 1859, with Alfred James for clerk and George W. Hepperly as Deputy United States Marshal and Baliff of the court.

Admission of Attorneys.

On the 10th day of October, 1859, the following entry was made upon the record of the court :

"On motion of G. D. Hall, and the Court being satisfied of the good standing in the profession of Messrs. Charles H. Bryan, Rob- ert Anderson, G. D. Hall, John J. Musser, W. H. Brunfield, and Wellington Stewart, practicing attorneys in the courts of other States, said gentlemen are admitted to practice as attorneys in the courts of this Territory."

A Grand Jury Impaneled.

On that day the Grand Jury was impaneled, with George W. Chedic as foreman. Wellington Stewart was appointed by the Court as Prosecuting Attorney for the district, in place of Alex- ander Wilson, who had resigned as United States Attorney for Utah Territory, upon the ground that he could not, for some reason, attend upon the courts in Carson County.

First Indictment for Murder.

On the 21st of October, 1859, the first indictment for murder was found against William Sides, for a homicide committed at Gold Hill shortly after the discovery of the Comstock Lode. At the same time two bills of indictment, one for adultery, and one for robbery, were found. In fact, the criminal calendar for the year 1859 might indicate an older settlement, a more extensive popula- tion, and a degree of demoralization rather exceptional. In that year five bills of indictment for lewdness, one for adultery, one for robbery, six for assault with intent to kill, three for murder and one for felony were found by the Grand Jury.

On the 13th day of November, 1859, the court expenses totaled $537.50, the Prosecuting Attorney's fees being $10 per day, and the traveling expenses of the Judge, to and from Salt Lake, being $150 for the estimated distance of 1,500 miles.

Special Term of Court.

A special term of court was held on June 11, 1860. John L. Blackburn was the Deputy Marshal in attendance. The term seems to have continued in session from time to time until February 19, 1861, when the last record entries were made.

Reverting to 1859, three indictments for murder seem to have been found. On September 19th the case of William Sides was dismissed, on motion of the acting Prosecuting Attorney, P. H. Clayton. There was, in fact, but little efficiency shown in the pros- ecution of the criminal docket, or else the indictments were in the main without merit.

Early in 1860, President Buchannan removed Judge Cradle- baugh, and on May 11, 1860, commissioned R. B. Flennicken, a Justice of the Supreme Court of Utah Territory, vice Cradlebaugh, removed. In October of that year Judge Flennicken arrived to as- sume the duties of District Judge of the district including Carson County. He had a letter of introduction to John S. Child, then the Probate Judge of the county. The Judge was accompanied by Henry Grace, appointed to act as Marshal of his court.

A controversy at once arose between Judge Cradlebaugh and Judge Flennicken as to who was the lawful Judge of the district. Judge Cradlebaugh contended that the President had no power to remove him and appoint a successor, and that he was still the lawful Judge. "Some doubt had been thrown on this question by the language of the Utah act, and on account of the opinion rendered by Justice John McLean of the Supreme Court of the United States." (Reminiscences of William M. Stewart.)

Concerning this controversy, Senator Stewart in his reminis- cences says :

"In June, 1860, Terry (Judge David S. Terry) and myself met in Carson and agreed that we would recognize the authority of Judge Cradlebaugh and try cases before him. ******

"Later R. B. Flennicken arrived, and Terry told me that he would discontinue our agreement to try cases before Judge Cradle- baugh ; that he was confident that Flennicken was the legal Judge, and that he would try cases in his court with a marshal and clerk ; a man by the name of Grice being his marshal.

18 HISTORICAL

"Cradlebaugh continued to hold court, and tried the criminal cases. For the purpose of testing the question of Cradlebaugh's right to continue in office, I caused to be appealed to the Supreme Court of Utah, sitting at Salt Lake, a criminal case in which the question raised involved the validity of Cradlebaugh's authority.

"Very little civil business was done for several months, but finally, in February, 1861, Judge Terry's clients went upon a claim called the St. Louis, between what is known as the Devil's Gate and Silver City, on the main road to Virginia City. There was a considerable quantity of rich ore on the surface of the St. Louis. Terry's clients and associates had procured about eighty old mus- kets which had been brought over the mountains from California during a recent Indian war. They elected a fort and manned it with about seventy-five men.

"I brought suit and obtained an injunction in Cradlebaugh's court, which was served upon the occupants of the fort. They dis- obeyed the injunction and continued to work the mine. The situa- tion was embarrassing; all the arms available for a battle were in the hands of the enemy. It was absolutely certain that if a warrant was placed in the hands of John Blackburn, the marshal of Cradle- baugh's court, he would be resisted by the armed forces in the fort. I knew that Blackburn being a desperate man would make every effort to serve the warrant, and that the inevitable consequence would be the shedding of blood to no purpose.

"Two young men were associated with me in the case — Moses Kirkpatrick, afterward a leading lawyer of Butte, Montana, and William F. Anderson, who became a popular lawyer in Idaho. I proposed to them that we visit Flennicken and arrange a com- promise if possible. Accordingly, we called on Flennicken at his chambers and told him that we were anxious to avoid bloodshed ; that Judge Cradlebaugh's order had been disobeyed by the men in the fort on the St. Louis mine near Silver City; that if it was agree- able to him he would commence a suit in his court, and if our show- ing was sufficient to satisfy him that an injunction ought to be issued, we would serve his injunction and make joint effort with his marshal and the marshal of Judge Cradlebaugh to enforce the orders of the two courts. Flennicken said that would be entirely agreeable to him.

"We further said to him that the controversy between the two judges was very injurious to the business of the Territory and ought to be terminated, and that Judge Cradlebaugh had agreed to resign if the Supreme Court of the Territory of L'tah decided against him, or if Lincoln's Administration, when it should be in- augurated, refused to pay him his salary and paid it to Judge Flen- nicken. Flennicken said that would be entirely satisfactory to him,

HISTORICAL 19

and he would then and there make the same agreement Judge Cradlebaugh had.

"We went to my office, prepared the papers, and the next morn- ing called on Flennicken again and asked him to issue an injunc- tion. He not only refused to do that, but denied ever having had any conversation with us on the subject; and, in fact, went so far as to deny that we had ever visited him at all.

''While we were studying what to do next, early in the evening the Pony Express came in from Utah bringing the decision of the Supreme Court of that Territory in favor of the right of Judge Cradlebaugh to hold court ; whereupon Judge Flennicken got out upon the street and publicly declared that he was no longer judge, and that it was the duty of all good citizens to obey his orders. I met him in the presence of several gentlemen and questioned him personally to know if he would sustain Judge Cradlebaugh. He assured me that he would.

"I then got an order for arrest for contempt for the occupants of the fort and placed it in the hands of the marshal, Blackburn, and retired for the night. The next morning, before the sun was up, Kirkpatrick and Anderson called at my house and told me that Judge Flennicken was on the street claiming to be Judge and deny- ing the right of Judge Cradlebaugh. I belted on my pistols and started down town, seeking Judge Flennicken. I met him on the square, now occupied by the State House, in front of Pete Hopkin's saloon.

' 'Good morning,' he said.

'' 'Good morning.'

"'What's the news?'

' 'Bad news, indeed,' I said. 'They are slandering you. They say that you are claiming to be Judge and defying the authority of Judge Cradlebaugh.'

"I told him I anticipated that something might go wrong and had taken the precaution to be deputized by Marshal Blackburn to summon a posse to assist in executing the orders of Judge Cradle- baugh, and that I summoned him to carry a musket and give the lie to the slander that he was usurping the function of Judge Cradlebaugh.

"He stepped back, and I grabbed him by the collar and jerked him on to his knees, and drawing my pistol told him he would carry a musket in front of me, and there was no evading it. He raised his hands imploringly, saying:

' 'Is there no way to avert it?'

" 'Yes, if you will do as I say,' I replied.

"He consented by not resisting, and I took him by the coat collar into Flayshacker's store, which was conducted by F. A.

20 HISTORICAL

Tritle, subsequently Governor of Arizona. There was a telegraph station in the middle of the floor, surrounded by a railing. Pete Lovell was the telegraph operator, and was at his post. I told Tritle to write as I dictated. I dictated four or five dispatches for Flennicken to sign, which declared in emphatic terms that he was not Judge, that Cradlebaugh was, and his orders must be obeyed. I sent one to Flennicken's marshal of the court, one to his clerk, one to Cradlebaugh's marshal, and several others to prominent men at Silver City.

"I then had Lovell come outside the railing and stand where he could hear the messages in reply, but not where he could touch the wires. News came of consultation of all parties concerned. Finally Lovell said the forces under the marshal of Flennicken's court had surrendered and agreed to accompany Marshal Blackburn to Carson, a distance of about ten miles. I waited about an hour, when it was announced that Marshal Blackburn and his prisoners were within four miles of Carson, and then had Judge Cradlebaugh open court. As the prisoners were led in I moved their discharge on the ground that they were good citizens, but they had defied the authority of the court under a mistake, and that I hoped they would be allowed to depart without punishment. Accordingly, Judge Cradlebaugh, acting on my motion, discharged the prisoners.

"Joe Vaughn was a partner of Judge Terry, and was managing the business while Judge Terry was in San Francisco. He came to me and requested the privilege of seeing the original dispatches signed by Flennicken. I took him to the telegraph office. He read them and was satisfied that they were genuine.

"The next day Judge Terry arrived. Everybody supposed that he would be very indignant and that something sensational might occur. On the contrary, the Judge came to my office, saluted me good-naturedly as usual, and said that I had taught him and his party a very valuable lesson, never to go to war unless you have your general in your own camp. 'You had both generals in your camp and you won the victory,' he said.

"Judge Terry left that evening and proceeded immediately to the Confederate Army, in which he fought bravely until the end of the war."

The appeal in the crminal case mentioned in Senator Stewart's Memoirs does not appear in the reports of decisions of that court.

From the organization of the Territorial Supreme Court of Utah to the time of the organization of the Territory of Nevada, opinions in but seven cases are in the Utah Reports, but one of which reported cases originated in Carson County.

The case of Joseph Stone vs. Leonard Savage was tried in the Territorial District Court. It was appealed to the Supreme Court

HISTORICAL 21

at Salt Lake and is reported in 1 Utah, 35. The decision does not appear to have been rendered until after the Territory of Nevada was created, for the report of the case recites : "Appeal from the District Court of Carson County (now in Nevada)." Whether'the court, because of this latter fact, had jurisdiction to determine the case, was a question which does not appear to have been raised or determined. The reporter's notes to this decision also states : "The names of the attorneys for the representative parties do not appear in the record."

It appears from the opinion in the case that Stone sold Savage a mining claim at Virginia, for which Savage "promised verbally to pay $3,000." To secure this sum a mortgage was given on the property containing a power to sell at public auction. Under this power Stone subsequently sold the property for $700, and then brought an action for the balance, $2,300, alleged to be due on the verbal contract. Judgment was for plaintiff. Defendant appealed and the judgment was affirmed.

The difficulties which beset those early judges in the perfor- mance of their duties is illustrated by the following extract from one opinion :

"We regret that we are compelled to establish a rule without the aid of a single text book, and with the assistance of but few adjudicated cases."

The Leonard Savage who was a party to the action mentioned gave his name to one of the great Comstock mines.

The first case before the Territorial Supreme Court of Utah — The People vs. Maroni Green, decided in 1856 (1 Utah, 11) is of interest, for in that case it was held that section 17 of the Act of Congress creating the Territory, and which provided — "That the Constitution and laws of the United States are hereby extended over and declared to be in force in said Territory of Utah, so far as the same, or any provision thereof, may be applicable." — extended the Common Law over the Territory of Utah.

The opinion was written by Judge Drummond, the same who first held a session of the District Court in Carson County, and we conclude this account of the History of the Bench and Bar of Nevada, under the Utah regime, by quoting the following eloquent passage from the opinion in the Maroni Green case, by one of our earlier justices :

"The Spirit of the Law, reverence for the age in which we live, and regard for the happiness of unborn millions, as well as a duty paramount to all else which we owe to the Judiciary, forbid that this Court should be the first in America to establish a doctrine so hateful in its features and so repugnant to all the finer feelings of man in an improved and scientific age, and filled with all the blasts

22 HISTORICAL

and mildews of an ever intelligent and hopeful confiding American Judiciary."

Courts Under Nevada Territory.

By Act of Congress, approved by President Lincoln, March 2, 1861, the Territory of Nevada was created. So far as the judicial system established under this act was concerned, it was the same as that prescribed in the the act creating the Territory of Utah. President Lincoln appointed as Governor of the Territory of Ne- vada, James V. Xye of New York, who had previously been a lawyer and a Judge of distinction in his native State. Governor Xye arrived at Carson, the Capital of the Territory, July 8, 1861, and nine days later the Governor divided the Territory into three judicial districts.

President Lincoln appointed as Chief Justice of the new Ter- ritory Hon. George Turner, and as Associate Justices, Hon. Gordon N. Mott and Hon. Horatio M. Jones. Their salary was fixed at $1,800.

The first session of the Territorial Supreme Court was held at Carson, June 2, 1862. With the exception of a recital of two cases which appeared upon the calendar — People vs. Mayfield, and Grigsby vs. Rice — the foregoing are the minutes of the court for that day .

Wealth of the Comstock and Litigation.

The fabulous wealth of the Comstock mines was the cause of many law suits. It would seem from contemporaneous writers that the cases involving the principal mines reeked with crimina- tions and recriminations of bribery and perjury. According to William M. Stewart, who was leading counsel on one side of all the principal cases tried, the estimated expense of litigation over the mines "rose to the enormous sum of $10,000,000." Senator Stewart stated that he received during four years of litigation over these mines fees in the modest sum of $500,000.

The following is Senator Stewart's own account of a portion of that litigation, with his comments on the courts, and the part he played in forcing the resignation of the Territorial Judges :

One of the leading controversies with regard to the Comstock lode arose between the Chollar and the Potosi. The Chollar was the old location and the Potosi the parallel location on the east. The Potosi entered upon the Chollar mine ; the Chollar brought suit and recovered judgment.

HISTORICAL 23

After judgment was obtained by the Chollar, the Potosi sunk down on the dip of the vein and claimed the ore as a separate lead. The Chollar again brought suit, and undoubtedly would have re- covered if there had not been a change of Judges. I quote again from Mr. Elliot Lord's "History of the Comstock" :

"Potosi stock, which had rallied somewhat, suffered another sharp decline, but the managers of the company were by no means disposed to give up the contest. A shaft was sunk accordingly, outside the eastern boundary surface line of the Chollar company, and a deposit of rich ore was soon reached. The contention was instantly renewed, and cross suits were instituted by both com- panies. The managers of the Potosi company believed that Judge Gordon N. Mott was biased in favor of the claims of the Chollar company, and as the Chief Justice, George Turner, was accounted a Chollar partisan, they resolved to change the constitution of the bench by inducing Judge Mott to resign and of obtaining the ap- pointment of James W. North, a lawyer who was known to have a different opinion as to the rightfulness of their claims. How this plan was carried out was bluntly stated by the Virginia City Ter- ritorial Enterprise, July 26, 1864, fully endorsed by the Gold Hill News of the same date, and subsequently confirmed by the decision of referees in a libel suit instituted December 6, 1864: 'We assert that Judge North's place on the bench was bought for him. The price paid was $25,000. The payee was Gordon N. Mott; the per- son paying it was John Atchison, in behalf of the Potosi company. We believe that there wras some flimsy pretext of railroad business which glossed over the payment of the money to Mott, but it will not be pretended that the object of paying Mott was any other than to get North on the bench.' "

Whether the appointment of North was bought with an under- standing that he belonged to the people who bought him, or whether he had a peculiar mind is immaterial. Every decision he rendered in every case over which he presided, except one, ex- hibited evidence of a strong bias against the owners of the Com- stock claim in the litigation with regard to the Potosi ; while the court substantially held that the judgment in favor of the Chollar stopped the Chollar from what was recovered by that judgment. This may look paradoxical, but it was North's idea of justice.

Judge Locke, who was put on the bench soon after North, was probably the most ignorant man who ever acted in any judicial capacity in any part of the world. While the case was being argued in the Supreme Court as to whether the Chollar was entitled to what it had won by the judgment of the Court, Locke met an old friend from Missouri who was driving an ox team, and undertook

24 HISTORICAL

to explain to him before some bystanders the question that was before the Supreme Court. His explanation was as follows :

"You see the Potosi fellows say the Chollar fellows ought to be stopped and that they have no right to sue. Now, don't you' think if anybody wants to sue, they have got a right to sue?"

And the teamster said he did. But notwithstanding the sound advice given him by the teamster, Locke decided both ways several times in that important question.

I do not wish to revive old scandals, besides, if I did it would take several volumes to tell all I know of the three Judges who resigned in one day at my suggestion, the details of which I will briefly state.

There was an extension north from the Potosi, called the North Potosi. It was a long claim lying parallel to the Hale and Nor- cross, the Savage, the Gould and Curry, and extending to some point below the Consolidated Virginia.

A suit had been brought by the Savage company against the North Potosi, and was one of the long-pending suits which had not been brought to trial. Immediately after the appointment of North, William B. Garrison and another speculative capitalist in San Francisco, bought the North Potosi and boomed the stock from $2 or $3 to $100 a share. It was impossible for the Savage com- pany to get a continuance, and the trial was had before Judge North as soon as possible after his appointment. I had for an assistant in the case R. P. Crittenden, an eminent lawyer from Kentucky, who afterward met with a violent death at the hands of the notorious Laura Fair.

There was the greatest difficulty in obtaining a jury to try the case, because every man with sufficient intelligence to sit upon the jury had committed himself on one side or the other of the con- troversy. To my great astonishment, men came forward who had been active in litigation involving the question under consideration, and declared they had no opinion, bias, or prejudice. Eight of the jurors whom I was compelled to accept I knew very well were violent partisans of the opposite side. Four, whom I knew to be men of character and sterling worth, confessed they entertained an opinion that there were several parallel ledges in the Comstock formation, but they said in answer to my questions that they had no bias or prejudice that would prevent them from deciding ac- cording to law and evidence. I realized that both laAv and the evidence were on my side, because the Savage and the North Potosi were clearly connected in the same body of ore.

I introduced witnesses to prove title to the Savage, and that the Potosi was working in the body of ore which everybody con- ceded belonged to the Savage.

HISTORICAL 25

The case of the plaintiffs was not a long or a difficult one, but a most disgraceful incident occurred when the defendant's counsel called their first witness. His name was Richard Brown, a person 1 knew very well, who had been deputy sheriff in Sierra County at the time of the trial of Ellis. The day before the trial Brown came to my office in company with Joe Stow, a sharp, slippery manipulator. Stow stated that if Brown could be induced to' stay he would give very valuable testimony in favor of the Savage, and that if I would give him $500 he would stay, because he would lose that much by neglecting business which he had in a distant town. Knowing that he could give no testimony of any value to either side, I told him he had better go and attend to his business.

He then went to Bob Morrow, who was at that time superin- tending the Savage mine, and told him he would give very damag- ing testimony against the Savage, but that if he would give him $500 he would go away and not give the testimony. Bob Morrow, very inconsiderately and without consulting me, gave him the money.

When called as a witness, Brown came forward very pom- pously and said that before he testified he desired to deposit with the court $500, which the superintendent of the Savage mine had given him if he would leave and not give the testimony. I appre- ciated, from my knowledge of the parties and the circumstances, that it was a trick and that he had been paid for performing it, but my associate, Mr. Crittenden, very nearly fainted.

I was sitting near enough to him to grasp his arm, and if I didn't make it black and blue I know I gave him great pain, for he evinced considerable agony. I whispered to him to say nothing until court adjourned for dinner. During the noon recess I told him I believed Dick Brown got $1,500 for playing the trick; but that did not restore his nerve.

I saw from the conduct of the eight jurors and the pleasure they expressed at Brown's trick that they were in the game also. I was confident that they were bribed. The jury, after it was pan- eled, was kept separate in a room in charge of a little deputy who was a noted race jockey.

His name at that time was Billy Brown. I determined to as- certain from Billy Brown how the jury had been bribed. It would naturally be performed through him, as he was the very kind of a man they would use. I knew, however, that Billy would not dare tell me unless his safety was secured. He knew that if he let out the secret he would not live to old age.

There was a celebrated old race horse in the town and as soon as court had adjourned I sent a man to buy the horse for $500, saddled and briddled it, and had it tied under my office window.

26 HISTORICAL

I then hunted up Brown, and took him nolens volens to my room, locked the door, and told him I wanted a private conversa- tion with him.

"If you tell me what pay each juror has received, the conversa- tion which has passed, and the kind of money paid, I will give you as much money as you paid the jury," I said.

"Don't ask me such a question. I would be killed if I told," he replied.

"Look down there; do you see what horse that is? If you were on that horse, do you think anybody could catch you?"

"Not on your life !" said the jockey.

I had provided myself with $14,000 in greenbacks on which there was a slight discount, but this was before greenbacks were very low. I took the money from my pocket. His eyes glistened, and with a foxy grin he told me how he had bribed eight members of the jury, paying them $13,000; the kind of money he paid to each, and how much, and where the transaction took place ; and he also repeated quite accurately what each juror had said. Four of the twelve he had not dared to approach.

When he had finished his story, which occupied fully an hour, I handed him the $14,000. Brown grabbed the money, ran down the stairs, and without waiting to go to his home to change his clothes, jumped on the race-horse and galloped away. Maybe he played jockey again, but if he ever did he must have changed his name. Anyhow, I never heard of Billy Brown after that.

The testimony for the defense was not lengthy and was con- cluded the next day. The day following the argument commenced, Crittenden opened with a very lame statement.

Three able lawyers made strong speeches for the Potosi. They were Jim Hardy, one of the leading attorneys in the mining cases on the Pacific Coast; Frank Hereford, who was afterward United States Senator from West Virginia, and Todd Robinson, their star attorney, who concluded.

He had a habit of winding up an argument by fainting away and falling on the floor before a jury. He could play that trick so well that anybody would swear it was the real thing.

As he reached the climax he swayed about, grabbed at the air, and fell flat on his back. The effect was electrical. The great mass of the people filling the courtroom were interested in the many- ledge theory, and were crazed with joy at the apparent complete triumph of their case.

I waited a moment for the restoration of order, and then pro- ceeded. It so happened that the four jurors who had not been cor- rupted were at my left, near the end of the bench, toward the Judges. The other eight were sitting together at the other end of

HISTORICAL 27

the jury box. I walked up to the most remote juror, looked at him a minute — I presume with an earnest expression, for I was in earnest — and told him in distinct language how a juror might be bribed. I illustrated it by repeating the conversation that had taken place between him and Billy Brown, telling him the place, the amount, and kind of money, and all the details of his corruption.

Frank Hereford, who had apparently fainted away, sprang to his feet and protested against my manner of addressing the jury.

I turned to the Judge and demanded that he should look at that juror and tell me if my argument was not in order. By that time everybody was looking at the juror, who fell back in his seat, pale and trembling. The Judge, taken by surprise, said in a low tone, "Go on."

I then addressed the next juror, and the next, until I completed the panel of the eight, giving every detail of the bribery. Before I concluded the eight were so agitated and prostrated that everybody knew they had been bribed. I then took a map and proceeded to discuss the merits of the case with the other four jurors. I said :

"Gentlemen of the jury, you truthfully said on your oath be- fore you were sworn in as jurors that you could render a verdict according to the law and evidence, and here is the evidence. Both companies were working in the same vein ; the Savage is the prior claim, and whether are many or few ledges, the Potosi is certainly on the ledge of the Savage. But this jury will never discuss this matter in the jury box ; you four will never discuss it with the eight ; you see the reason why."

The jury went out, and within an hour they were called in. They informed the court that they never would agree, and never would discuss the subject together, and they were discharged. Three of the jurors, one after another, rushed to my office and begged me not to prosecute them. I simply told them to go home and attend to their business.

The Potosi fell to some five or six dollars a share the next day, and I telegraphed to my clients to secure a majority of the stock, which they did. That was the last great struggle between the Comstock and the parallel ledges. There were, however, various settlements, but nothing affecting the main question. The Com- stock people having control of the North Potosi, that company con- sented that the controversy between it and the Gould and Cuny, which lay north of the Savage, should be submitted to Judge Nu- gent as referee. He heard at length the testimony as to whether or not the property belt contained more than one lode, and he made a report, demonstrating by conclusive proof and argument the one-ledge theory. His report is given at length in the book of Mr. Gordon of Clarence King's Geological Survey party.

28 HISTORICAL

Judge Xorth partially regained my confidence by his fairness in the trial of the Savage against the North Potosi. It is true he had very little opportunity to be unfair, for if he had stopped me in my argument to the jury, with the one juryman already fainting, the effect on him would have been disastrous.

I could not afford to wink at any act of bribery or corruption perpetrated by any of my clients on the Comstock. If the com- munity had really become suspicious of my honesty, my lease of life would have been short, and my clients would have been over- whelmed, because nine-tenths of the community were interested in parallel vein locations. Judge Xorth, aside from the question of his appointment to office, was, to say the least, a very indiscreet man. He built a quartz mill with money borrowed from litigants. He crushed ore for the Comstock companies, particularly the Gould and Curry, and was continually demanding better ore out of which he could make more money.

To save myself and my clients from reproach, I denounced Xorth publicly as a dishonest Judge, and my charges were reit- erated in the public press. I also denounced the Chief Justice, George Turner, as corrupt. As for Judge Locke, he was too ig- norant for denunciation. Partisans of the Judges defended them in the public press, but in turn they were overwhelmed with counter charges.

Finally a notice was published that the Supreme Court would meet on a certain Monday, and that it would strike my name from the bar. It so happened that Abe Meyer, who was a money-lender and a remarkably bright business man, frequented my office, and in emergencies, such as the Sierra XTevada against the American, he furnished me money to prepare for the trial. It was paid by the company with a good commission. It was very convenient to have an emergency man in those times.

About two months before this notice appeared, some parties entered upon the Hale and Xorcross, of which Meyer was president, without any show of title, and began removing ore. I brought suit for an injunction, which was readily granted by Chief Justice Tur- ner. The suit was so simple, and the injunction so absolutely proper, that no man would have supposed it necessary to bribe the Judge, but I was sufficiently familiar with the greed of Judge Tur- ner to entertain a different opinion.

When I received the notice that I would be disbarred I told Meyer I wanted an affidavit with the exhibits showing that he paid Turner for the Hale and Norcross injunction. He hesitated, and I told him that it was necessary for me to have them. He said, "I sees if I gets 'em," and went out. He came back in about three minutes with a receipt signed by Turner for $2,000 and a check

HISTORICAL 29

drawn in favor of Judge Turner for $3,000, and endorsed by him, making a total of $5,000 paid for the injunction.

I drew an affidavit and attached the receipt and check as an exhibit. When the court met at Carson I appeared at the bar with Meyer standing beside me, and I occasionally pulled out the affi- davit and some other documents I had and looked them over, and looked up at the court.

As soon as the Judges were seated on the bench, Judge North announced his resignation. Judge Turner then announced that court would take a recess until seven o'clock that evening. He sent word to me that if I would let up on him he would resign. I sent back word that he must put his resignation in a letter addressed to the President, and also in a telegraphic dispatch ; that he must put both in an unsealed envelope and deliver them to me before he went on the bench, or I would swear out a warrant before the Justice of the Peace and have him arrested for bribery. He sent the resigna- tions as demanded. I mailed one and telegraphed the other.

At seven o'clock Judge Turner came into court and made a self-glorifying speech, in which he reviewed his course, and spoke of his kindly relations with all the bar, and his pleasant judicial duties. He said that inasmuch as the resignation of Judge North had destroyed the usefulness of the court for business, he would resign, and the bystanders gave him room to go out.

I thought it was about time for me to express my appreciation of the situation, so I invited the bar, over one hundred being pres- ent, to an evening's entertainment. It was then nearly eight o'clock. Pete Hopkin's saloon was under the room where the court was held, and there was a very large back room in which Various entertainments took place, such as dances and other festivities not quite so respectable. We gathered in there and elected H. P. Beatty president of the meeting, as he was the oldest man in the party.

After champagne and other good things were brought in, and the party were drinking, smoking, and telling stories, I stated to the president that it was in order to call Judge Locke and allow him to resign. I knew very well that Judge Locke would avoid ap- pearance if possible, so I moved that two young lawyers, physically strong and endowed with a reasonable amount of courage, be ap- pointed as a committee to fetch him to the meeting. "If he is locked in his room," said I, "locks can be broken."

They found him in his room, dressed him hurriedly, and seated him on a bench by my side. Judge Beatty in fatherly language told him that the object of the meeting was to give him an oppor- tunity to resign ; that the other two Judges had resigned and that we wanted a new bench.

30 HISTORICAL

Locke turned to me for advice, and asked what I thought he ought to do.

"Do?" said I. "Resign, and do it quick!" I called to me one of the gentlemen who was serving the good things to appease the ap- petite, to bring pen and ink. "Now," I added, "write your resigna- tion."

It was read aloud, to be sure that it was all right, signed and mailed ; after which the whole meeting became hilarious, and Judge Locke imbibed so freely that he became more stupid than usual.

The condition of the judiciary was a very potent argument in favor of State government. The Administration at Washington undertook to appoint more Territorial Judges. I called a meeting of the bar and passed resolutions to the effect that we wanted no more courts until Nevada became a State. We were tired of Territorial judges.

Swift, under the circumstances, declined to accept the posi- tion, but said he would get even by writing a book exhibiting the condition and character of the Nevada bar. He wrote the book, which was humorous and reasonably good-natured, and styled it "Robert Greathouse." The soubriquet which he gave me was rather high-sounding, being Mr. Napoleon B. Spelter. He made me one of the heroes of his novel, although I am unable to appre- ciate his flattery. After I became well acquainted with him as a public man and a gentleman. He was for a long time Minister to Japan.

NOTE — The foregoing excerpt from Senator Stewart's very interesting "Reminiscences" is introduced for the purpose of giving the reader some idea of that romantic period in the history of the bench and bar of Nevada during the days of its Territorial era. Some, even Senator Stewart's best friends, are inclined to consider his work a bit high-colored, but the substantial facts go unchal- lenged, and as a narrative it certainly deserves a place in this work.

Period of Transition.

The minutes of the Territorial Supreme Court disclose that a comparatively large number of appealed cases were considered and disposed of. In some of the more important of these cases opin- ions were written and published in the press. None of these opin- ions are on file with the Clerk of the State Supreme Court, and whether they are now anywhere in existence is unknown. Neither does there appear to be in existence copies of the newspapers in which they were published. James McC. Reardan was Clerk of the Court from its organization until July, 1863, when Alfred Helm was appointed and served until the court went out of existence.

HISTORICAL 31

About the time of the appointment of Helm, Thomas Fitch, a mem- ber of the bar, was appointed reporter of the Supreme Court. Fitch was at that time acting editor of the "Union," published in Virginia City. Under the rules the Court Reporter was entitled to the orig- inal opinions and the briefs.

The question of the disposal of these opinions, and the matter of the authenticity of printed copies in the possession of Judge Tur- ner, was investigated by a special1 committee of the Senate during the first session of the State Legislature. Senator W. H. Claggett, a lawyer, and member from Storey County, was chairman of the committee. The testimony of the two clerks and Judge Turner was taken by this committee and is reported in full in "Appendix to Senate Journal, First Session." Mr. Reardan, in his testimony be- fore the committee, recounted the troubles which beset his office as follows :

"I do not know where those opinions are now. I have never seen them since they were handed over to my successor. I never recorded any of them, for the reason that I had no facilities for so doing.

"Everything was done loosely in the Supreme Court; no rules of the court were observed or enforced when I was Clerk.

"No office was furnished me, except for six, or perhaps seven, months. The Legislature refused to audit and pay my accounts for books, stationery, tables and seal."

The report of the committee found on pages 200-201 of the Sen- ate Journal of the first session concludes :

"Your committee would further report, that the result of their investigations exonerated the Hon. George Turner, late Chief Jus- tice of the Territory of Nevada, from all censure ; that all state- ments, whenever made, to the effect that he had, at any time, im- properly obtained possession of the original opinions of the Su- preme Court of the Territory, are unsustained, and that the copies of such opinions now in his possession, and which he proposes to publish, under the sanction and by the authority of the State, are correct copies of the opinions actually rendered by said Court."

Among the more prominent law firms practicing before the Ter- ritorial courts may be mentioned : Stewart, Kirkpatrick & Rising ; Johnson & Baldwin; Bryan & Foster; Smith, Clayton & Lansing; Brnmfield & Gilcrist ; Anderson & Lansing; Ralston & Griffith; McConnell & Reardan ; Platt & Davenport. Other lawyers of prominence include the names of Charles H. Williams, J. W. North, Thomas E. Haydon, William Haydon, James Harcley, J. J. Musser, Samuel Sankey, H. O. Beatty, C. E. Brosnan, and Thomas Fitch.

It may be said relative to the Territorial Judges, that few Judges in history were ever confronted with more stupendous prob-

32 HISTORICAL

lems, than those with which these Judges had to deal. The volume of the court business was immense. Many cases involved millions of dollars in mining properties, presenting new questions of law, and at a time, too, when there were no Federal statutes dealing with the subject of mines.

The State Courts.

President Lincoln having on the 31st day of October, 1864, issued his proclamation declaring Nevada a State, an election was held, pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution, November 8, 1864. At that election, C. N. Brosnan, H. O. Beatty, J. F. Lewis, W. E. McKinsty, W. C. Wallace and J. R. McConnell were candi- dates for Justices of the Supreme Court. The first three named were elected as Republicans. The other candidates were Demo- crats.

On the first Monday in December, 1864, the first Judges of the Supreme Court were sworn in and entered upon the discharge of their duties. The first regular term of the Supreme Court was held in January, 1865. Other officers of the court were : Alfred Helm, Clerk, and George A. Nourse, Attorney-General.

By provisions of the Constitution, the first three Justices elected were to determine by lot their respective term of two, four and six years. Thereafter at each general election, a Justice was to be chosen for six years. It was further provided that the Justice drawing the shortest term should be Chief Justice, and thereafter the one having the next shortest term should be Chief Justice, after which the senior Justice in commission should be Chief Justice. Judge Lewis drew the short term and became the first Chief Jus- tice. Judge Lewis bore the distinction of being the youngest man ever elected to the Supreme Court, and the youngest Chief Justice, he not having attained his twenty-ninth year when he assumed the duties of his important office. Judge Lewis was born in Wales May 4, 1836. He was re-elected in 1866, and retired from the bench in 1873 to enter the practice of law. His death occurred suddenly and unexpectedly while engaged in the active duties of his profes- sion on August 17, 1886. Judge Lewis was possessed of a good education and had an exceptionally keen legal mind. Upon his death a high tribute was paid to his ability and personal character by his successor on the bench, which was summed up in the follow- ing sentence: "An able and upright Judge, an honest lawyer, a good citizen, he commanded and retained the confidence of his fel- low men."

H. O. Beatty, who drew the four year term, was an example of splendid, rugged and sterling American manhood. He had for

HISTORICAL 33

a number of years been a prominent member of the Sacramento Bar before the lure of the Comstock brought him to Nevada. Past fifty years of age, he brought to the Bench a mind trained from years of experience on the Pacific Coast. Like his associates, the purity of his character, together with his legal ability, commanded the re- spect and confidence of the Bar. Judge Beatty was not a candidate for re-election, and resigned November 9, 1868, about two months before his term expired.

Judge B. C. Whitman, who was his successor, was appointed to fill out the unexpired term. Judge Beatty later had the satis- faction of seeing his son, W. H. Beatty, elevated to the Supreme Bench.

Judge B. C. Whitman was elected in 1868 to succeed Justice Beatty, defeating R. H. Taylor. He served one term and was suc- ceeded by the son of the man he had succeeded. The following ex- tracts from the pen of Judge C. C. Goodwin, a pioneer lawyer, Judge and journalist of Nevada, portraying Judge Whitman, as he remembered him, are worthy of record here.

"So far as I could ever see, there was not one flaw in the char- acter of Judge Whitman. A gentleman, a gentleman always ; edu- cated, refined, so exalted in his integrity that it was never ques- tioned. * * *

"He practiced law many years in Virginia City in those years when gladiators in his profession met in the arena and fought to the limit there. * * *

"When elected to the Supreme Bench, and he took his seat, it seemed to those who watched as though the seat had been long waiting for him, so natural was it to think of him as a Judge.

"I do not think he was as profound a lawyer as Judge Mesick, or Judge Hellyer or General Charles H. Williams, but he was great enough to have the perfect confidence of the whole Bar, not only in his perfect integrity, but in his knowledge and his utter absence of prejudice."

Upon retiring from the Bench, Judge Whitman went to San Francisco and there entered upon the practice of law. He died very suddenly August 5, 1885.

Cornelius N. Brosnan was a native of Ireland, born in 1813. For four years he attended Maynooth College in his native land. In 1831 he can. to America, and twenty years later located in California. In 1863 he came to Nevada. He died in office April 21, 1867. In announcing his death to the Supreme Court, Robert M. Clarke, then Attorney-General, paid an eloquent tribute to his character, from which the following passages are selected :

"He reached Virginia when the tide was receding. Reaction had punctured the balloon, and the inflation was rapidly subsiding.

34 HISTORICAL

The legitimate ground of the. profession was pre-occupied. Be- sides, at that day the practice of the law had to some extent de- generated into the practice of villainy. Chicanery won more suits than eloquence and learning, and bribery and corruption more than solid merit. Judge Brosnan honored his profession, and scorned these practices. He would have perished a beggar in the streets .rather than dishonor his calling. A pettifogger shocked him ; his high sense of honor revolted at a trick. No man in Nevada is more highly, favorably or intimately identified with our political and judicial history than Cornelius M. Brosnan. In this respect he was a pioneer. He assisted in planning and completing our political edifice ; he was a master mechanic, laid the foundation and erected the superstructure. As a member of the Convention that framed the Constitution of Nevada, he rendered the people invaluable ser- vice, and won for himself an enviable distinction. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he first organized and then enforced our present system of Judiciary. His learning and judgment were promptly recognized, and his opinions were to a great extent adopted by the Convention. His genius engrafted itself upon our fundamental law, which wrill forever stand a monument to his1 memory.

"Nevada became a State to escape the deadfall of her Territor- ial Courts. Her temple of justice had been transformed into a den of iniquity, from which the ermine seldom escaped untainted, and justice never unscathed. An outraged public, writhing in the fury of its indignation, cried aloud for reform. An honest court, com- posed of men as solid, as pure, as incorruptible and as unalloyed as polished gold, was demanded. The public demand was satisfied in the selection of Cornelius Brosnan. To receive a nomination and election for Justice of the Supreme Court, at such a moment, and under such circumstances, was indeed a splendid tribute to his judicial ability and purity."

J. Neely Johnson was appointed to the vacancy created by the death of Justice Brosnan. Justice Johnson was a lawyer of dis- tinction and ability. He had been Lieutenant-Governor of Califor- nia before coming to Nevada. He was chosen President of the Constitutional Convention of 1861, in which capacity he rendered the State invaluable service. In 1868 he was elected to fill out the unexpired term of Justice Brosnan, but was not a candidate to suc- ceed himself.

At the election of 1870, John Garber defeated J. S. Slawson and succeeded Justice Johnson on the Bench. Justice Garber was the first Democrat to be elected a member of the Supreme Court. He was a native of the State of Virginia, and a graduate of its uni- versity. He came to Nevada in 1863, locating at Austin, where

HISTORICAL 35

he formed a law partnership with George S. Hupp. He served less than two years on the Bench, resigning November 7, 1872, to enter the practice of his profession. He died at his home in Berkeley, California, December 13, 1908, the acknowledged leader of the California Bar.

Judge C. H. Belknap was appointed by Governor Bradley to succeed Justice Garber.

At the election of 1872, Judge Thomas P. Hawley was elected to succeed Justice Lewis, defeating W. M. Seawell. Justice Hawley was re-elected in 1878, and again in 1884, defeating Fred W. Cole and W. M. Seawell, respectively. Justice Hawley, then the Chief Justice, resigned September 27, 1890, to accept the ap- pointment of United States District Judge, Ninth Circuit District of Nevada, made by President Harrison. Judge Hawley served on the State and Federal Bench for nearly thirty-five years, the time being divided almost equally between the two courts. For many years he was assigned to sit with the Federal Court of Appeals, which held its sessions in San Francisco. An imperishable monu- ment to the learning and ability of Judge Hawley is to be found in the many opinions he wrote during his long service. History will accord him a place among the really great Judges of America. Judge Hawley was a native of Indiana, and was born July, 1830. He died October 17, 1907, in the full possession of his faculties, and was buried beneath the sunny skies of the State which honored and was honored by him.

At the general election of 1874, W. H. Beatty was elected to succeed Justice B. C. Whitman, defeating A. M. Hillhouse, and Warner Earll was elected to fill out the balance of the unexpired term of John Garber, defeating Justice C. H. Belknap, the incum- bent. Judge Beatty was the son of H. O. Beatty, one of the first Justices, and a lawyer of marked ability. In the political revolu- tion which occurred in 1880, he was defeated for re-election by Judge C. H. Belknap. Justice Beatty was destined, however, not to remain long without judicial honors. Having moved to Cali- fornia in the meantime, he was elected in 1888 Chief Justice of that State, which position he has filled with distinguished honor to the present time.

Justice Belknap served but two years, and was not a candi- date to succeed himself. A tribute to his memory, worth and ability was pronounced by Justice Hawley, and appears in the 19th Nevada Report.

At the election of 1876, C. R. Leonard was elected to succeed Justice Earll, and was re-elected in 1882, defeating H. Kirkpatrick and N. M. Stone, respectively. Judge Leonard was a native of Vermont, and received his education at Dartmouth College. He

36 HISTORICAL

was admitted to the Bar of California in April, 1863, and the follow- ing" month moved to Humboldt County. He served two years as Judge of the Fourth Judicial District, 1872-1874. During his four- teen years upon the Bench of Nevada he rendered conspicuous ser- vice to the State.

At the election of 1880, former Justice C. H. Belknap was elected over W. H. Beatty, and was re-elected in 1886, 1892 and 1898. He was elected without opposition in 1892, and in 1899 his only opponent was a farmer by the name of N. J. Price, who was nominated to fill out the Populist ticket. T. B. Edwards was the defeated candidate in 1886. His service of twenty years upon the Supreme Bench is the highest testimonial to his character and abil- ity that could be offered. He retired from the bench January 1, 1905, and a few years later moved to San Francisco, where he now • resides.

In 1888 M. A. Murphy was elected to succeed Justice Leonard, defeating W. M. Seawell, the Democratic nominee. Six years later Justice Murphy, who was a staunch Republican, lost the election to M. S. Bonnifield, the nominee of the new Silver Party which was at that time all-powerful in Nevada. Judge Murphy was a native of New York, and was born September 29, 1837. His death oc- curred in Carson City, October 26, 1909. He came to California in 1853, and ten years later moved to Aurora, Nevada. His ability and sterling character marked him for prominence in his adopted State. After serving a term as District Attorney of his county, he was elected in 1878 Attorney-General, and upon the conclusion of his term was elected District Judge of his district. In 1903 he was again elected Judge of the First Judicial District.

In 1890, R. H. Bigelow was elected to succeed Justice Hawley, defeating J. H. MacMillan, and upon the resignation of Justice Hawley was appointed to fill out the unexpired term. He served out the full term of six years and then retired to enter private practice. He died in San Francisco, in 1907, in his fifty-ninth year. From the memorial to Justice Bigelow found in the 29th Nevada Report, we quote the following paragraph :

"Judge Bigelow in his professional and private life exemplified the highest type of patriotic citizenship, of the skilled and honest lawyer; in his official life, of the able and upright Judge."

Justice M. S. Bonnifield, who was elected in 1894, served his full term and retired to private practice at Winnemucca, Nevada, where he still resides. The opinions written by Justice Bonnifield speak for his ability and legal learning. Prior to his election he had served as District Judge of his district.

In 1896 W. A. Massey was elected to succeed Justice Bigelow, defeating ex-Justice M. A. Murphy and B. F. Curler. A few months

HISTORICAL 37

prior to the expiration of his term, Mr. Massey, then Chief Justice, resigned to enter private practice, since which time he has been one of the foremost members of the Nevada Bar. Upon the death of Senator Nixon, in 1912, Judge Massey was appointed United States Senator until the election of his successor by the Legisla- ture in 1913. Governor Sadler appointed T. V. Julien, a member of the Washoe County Bar. to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Massey.

At the election in 1900, Judge A. L. Fitzgerald, then Judge of the Third Judicial District, was elected to succeed Justice Bonni- field, defeating Tremmor Coffin, the Republican nominee. Justice Fitzgerald served his full term, but was not a candidate to succeed himself. Upon his retirement he entered private practice at his for- mer home, Eureka, Nevada. In 1908 he became a candidate for Congress on the Independence League Ticket. He was a member of the Legislature of the 26th session. Judge Fitzgerald is a great student of the money question, on which subject he is considered an authority.

In 1902 George F. Talbot was elected to succeed Justice Massey, defeating P. M. Bowler Jr., and was again elected in 1908, defeating Hugh H. Brown, the Republican nominee, and Emil Larke, Socialist. Prior to his election to the Supreme Bench, Judge Talbot had served the people as District Attorney of Elko County, and as District Judge of the Fourth District. By virtue of his office he is the present Chief Justice. In addition to his long service on the Bench, he is the President of the State Historical Society.

At the election in 1904, F. H. Norcross was elected to succeed Justice Belknap. He was re-elected in 1910 without opposition. Justice Norcross has the distinction of being the first native-born Nevadan to be elected to the Supreme Bench. Prior to his election as a Justice of the Supreme Court Mr. Norcross served the people of his county, Washoe, as District Attorney and member of the Assembly.

At the election of 1906, James G. Sweeney was elected to suc- ceed Justice Fitzgerald, defeating E. R. Dodge, Republican, and A. B. Anderson, Socialist. Justice Sweeney is also a native of Nevada, and with the exception of Justice Lewis, the youngest member ever elected to the Supreme Bench. He had previously served the public in the capacity of District Attorney, Assembly- man and Attorney-General. He did not become a candidate to succeed himself, and has entered the private practice of law.

Justice Sweeney was succeeded by P. A. McCarran, the last member of the court to be elected. Justice McCarran is also a na- tive of Nevada. At the election of 1912 he defeated George A.

38

Bartlett, Independent ; W. R. Thomas, Progressive, and J. M. Lockhart, Republican candidate. Prior to ascending the Bench, Judge McCarran served a term as District Attorney of Nye County. Judge McCarran is an orator of ability and gained an enviable repu- tation as a successful criminal lawyer.

Bigelow and A. L. Fitzgerald were elected. The act provided for the selection of a presiding Judge, and Richard Rising was elected for that position.

The Legislature of 1887 provided for an additional Judge, and Thomas H. Wells was appointed to the position. The State re- mained one district for a period of eight years. Judge R. R. Bige- low, who had been elected a Judge of the Supreme Court at the general election of 1890, resigned his office as District Judge De- cember 2, 1890, and A. E. Cheney was appointed his successor. At the general election of 1890 the District Judges elected were Richard Rising, A. L. Fitzgerald, A. E. Cheney and Geo. F. Talbot.

The Legislature of 1891 again divided the State into four judi- cial districts as follows : The first included the Counties of Storey, Ormsby, Douglas, Lyon and Esmeralda ; the second the Counties of Washoe, Churchill and Humboldt ; the third the Counties of Nye, Lander and Eureka ; the fourth the Counties of Elko, White Pine and Lincoln.

Hon. W. H. A. Pike. Third District — Hon. Peter Breen. Fourth District — Hon. George S. Brown. Fifth District— Hon. J. P. O'Brien.

The Legislature of 1909 redistricted the State by adding two additional districts. Humboldt County was taken out of the sec- ond district and constituted the sixth district. Esmeralda County was taken out of the first district and constituted the seventh dis- trict, for which two judges were provided. In order that the county might immediately have the benefit of two additional Judges, Judge Langan resigned and was immediately re-appointed as Judge of the first district, and Theron Stephens and Peter J. Somers were ap- pointed Judges of the seventh.

The Legislature of 1909 redistricted the State, providing for nine districts. Churchill County was made the eighth district, and White Pine the ninth. The seventh district, Esmeralda County, was reduced to one Judge. At the general election of 1910 the fol- lowing Judges were elected :

Finch, a lawyer and expert stenographer, was appointed to this position, subsequently resigning the same to accept the position of private secretary to the Governor. Mr. Robert Richards, also an attorney and efficient stenographer, was appointed to succeed Mr. Finch. After serving two years he re- signed to enter into the private practice of law. His brother, Mr.

HISTORICAL 43

John Richards, possessing the same qualifications, was appointed his successor.

Attorneys-General.

It is interesting to note that there has never been a succession in the office of the Attorney-General. Attorneys-General in the order of their election are as follows :

Geo. A. Xourse, Robert M. Clarke, L. A. Buckner, John B. Kittrell, M. A. Murphy, W. H. Davenport, John F. Alexander, J. D. Torreysop, Robert M. Beatty, W. D. Jones, James G. Sweeney, Richard C. Stoddard, and Cleveland H. Baker. Robert M. Beatty died in office and James R. Judge was appointed his successor. W. D. Jones resigned to accept the appointment as District Judge, and Hon. Wm. Woodburn was appointed to the vacancy. Cleveland H. Baker died in office, and George B. Thatcher was appointed for the unexpired term. Mr. George Springmeyer, who was the op- posing candidate against Cleveland H. Baker for the election, in- stituted a contest for the office, which, after consuming the greater portion of two years, was abandoned by the contestant.

Federal Courts.

Judge Alex. Baldwin was appointed Federal District Judge in 1865. He died four years later, and Judge Edgar W. Hillyer was appointed his successor. Judge Hillyer died suddenly as a result of an accident in 1882. A beautiful tribute to the memory of Judge Hillyer is to be found in the 8th Sawyer Report. Ex-Chief Justice Whitman closed a splendid eulogy in these words :

"May we all live so that at the quickly coming supreme mo- ment our life sheaf may be as full of garnered loveliness, goodness and usefulness as that our dead brother brought."

George N. Sabin was appointed to the vacancy created by the death of Judge Hillyer, and served until his own death in 1890. Judge Thomas P. Hawley succeeded Judge Sabin and remained on the district bench until his retirement in 1906. Hon. E. S. Farring- ton was appointed as the successor if Judge Hawley, and is at pres- ent District Judge.

In the earlier history of the District and Circuit Courts of the 9th Circuit for the District of Nevada, it was the practice of Cir- cuit Judge Lorenzo Sawyer to sit in the Circuit Court at Carson and try cases. Judge Stephen J. Field of the Supreme Court of the United States, who was assigned to the 9th Circuit, would also occasionally sit in bank with the Circuit and District Judges in the trial of cases. For the past twenty years, however, the business of the District and Circuit Courts has been left entirely to the Dis-

44 HISTORICAL

trict Judge. In recent years, particularly after the appointment of Judge Farrington, Circuit Judge W. W. Morrow, and District Judges Van Fleet and DeHaven, occasionally held court in cases in which Judge Farrington was disqualified by reason of having been attorney for litigants prior to his appointment.

The Bar in Public Life.

The Bar of Nevada has played a prominent part in public af- fairs. The first constitutional convention, which met in 1862, to form a constitution for the ''State of Washoe," was composed of thirty-eight members, of whom nine, at least, were lawyers, to-wit : J. Neely Johnson, L. O. Sterns, J. H. Ralston, Marcus D. Larrowe, F. N. Kennedy, William M. Stewart, Cornelius M. Brosnan, John A. Collins, and J. W. North.

The convention, which met July 4, 1864, adopted the Consti- tution which was finally ratified, contained eleven lawyers among its members as follows : Cornelius M. Brosnan, Charles E. De- long, E. F. Dunne, Thomas Fitch, Lloyd Frizell, Albert T. Hawley, J. Neely Johnson, Francis H. Kennedy, George A. Nourse, Francis M. Proctor, and J. H. Warwicke. J. Neely Johnson was president of the convention.

But two lawyers have been Governors, James W. Nye, Gover- nor of the Territory, and Tasker L. Oddie, the present Governor of the State.

The list of Lieutenant-Governors includes the following mem- bers of the Bar: J. Poujade, James R. Judge and Lemuel Allen.

The following lawyers have been Speakers of the Assembly : R. D. Ferguson, Robert E. Lowery, John Bowman, H. A. Gaston, Charles S. Varian, Trenmor Coffin, Charles F. Bicknell, Lemuel Allen, C. D. Van Duzer, Marion S. Wilson, Samuel Platt and T. A. Brandon.

Of the nine men who have represented the State in the U. S. Senate, five have been lawyers : James W. Nye, William M. Stewart, Francis G. Newlands, William A. Massey and Key Pitt- man.

With but two exceptions the Representatives of the State in Congress have all been lawyers. The list comprises : H. G. Worth- ington, Delos R. Ashley, Thomas Fitch, Charles W. Kendall, William Woodburn, Thomas Wren, Horace F. Bartine, Francis G. Newlands, Clarence Dunn Van Duzer, George A. Bartlett and Edward N. Roberts. John W. Cradlebaugh represented the Ter- ritory in the thirty-seventh Congress. John J. Musser was chosen a provisional representative of the Territory in Congress, but was never seated.

HISTORICAL 45

United States Attorneys.

Upon the organization of the State government, President Lin- coln appointed Robert M. Clarke United States Attorney for the District of Nevada. Other U. S. District Attorneys in the order of their succession are Charles S. Varian, J. G. Whitcher, Thomas E. Hayden, Trenmor Coffin, Charles A. Jones, Sardis Summerneld and Samuel Platt. Charles A. Jones was shot and killed during his incumbency in office by one Guinan.

Bar Association.

A number of the members of the Nevada Bar met at the Court House at Reno in September, 1911, and perfected an organization of a State Bar Association. Hugh H. Brown of Tonopah was elected President, Judge Azero E. Cheney of Reno, Vice-President, and Robert Richards of Reno, Secretary. The second annual meet- ing was held at Reno in December, 1912, at which meeting Judge Cheney was elected President, and James D. Finch, Secretary.

The Reno Bar Association was organized in 1907, with Judge W. A. Massey as President, and Albert D. Ayers as Secretary. This Association prosecuted two cases before the Supreme Court for disbarment of attorneys who had been guilty of conduct un- becoming an attorney in matters of divorce practice. Both attor- neys were suspended.

The Nye County Bar Association was organized at about the same time, with James F. Dennie as President, and Harry H. At- kinson as Secretary.

Preface to the First Nevada Report.

The following chapter is copied from the preface of the first volume of the Nevada State Reports. The reader will find that it contains quite a comprehensive political history of Nevada from Territory to State :

"This being the first volume of Nevada State Reports, we have deemed it advisable to state a few facts in relation to the organiza- tion of the Territory, adoption of the State Government and the laws under which these reports are published. In the year 1850, Congress passed a law organizing the Territory of Utah. Within the boundaries of the Territory was the present State of Nevada. In the years 1859 and 1860, the silver mines of this region began to attract attention, and population to pour into those portions of the present State which were known to possess valuable mines.

"Besides those who crowded around the principal mines then discovered, a sparse population began to settle in those valleys and favored spots along the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada Moun-

46 HISTORICAL

tains which were suitable for grazing or agricultural purposes. In the year 1854, the County of Carson was organized by the Terri- torial Legislature of Utah. That county embraced Nevada, and the inhabitants who came to work in the mines found themselves in a country, the only written laws of which were the United States Constitution, and such statutes enacted by the Congress of the United States as might be applicable to their situation, and the statute laws of the Mormons. The latter were not calculated to inspire much respect in a free and enlightened community. There were no statute laws of the United States applicable to the wantb and requirements of the people. It was difficult to determine what system of laws were in force among the mining population of what was then Carson County. By some it was contended that civil law was in force here, because when the Mormons settled the Territory of Utah it was within the Mexican Republic, where the civil law- prevails. By others it was contended the common law was intro- duced into Utah because the Mormons generally came from coun- tries where the common law prevails. And more especially did they contend that the common law must be held to have prevailed i:i Carson County because the entire population of miners coming from California, settling in a country then almost a desert, and without written law, must be held to have brought their own laws and customs with them. Whilst the law was in this unsettled state. Congress passed an act organizing the Territory of Nevada. This act was approved on the 2nd day of March, 1861. On the 1st day of October, 1861, the Legislative Assembly of Nevada met at Carson City, and the first act passed by them was one adopting the com- mon law as a rule of decision in the Territory of Nevada. The Legislative Assembly then went on to pass a few private bills and a general system of laws applicable to the wants of the people. The general laws were, to a great extent, a copy of the statute laws of California. The Civil and Criminal Practice Acts were copied, with a few slight variations, from the acts on the same subject to be found in the California statutes. Under this system our courts continued to act as long as Nevada remained a Territory. The de- cisions of the Supreme Territorial Court have never been published, nor is there any law providing for their publication.

"In the year 1862 the Territorial Legislature passed an Act providing for the holding of an election on the first Wednesday of September, 1863, at which the electors of the Territory were to vote for or against the adoption of a State government, and also to elect delegates to a Convention to frame a State Constitution. If the majority of the electors voted for a State government, then the Convention was to assemble on the first Tuesday in November, 1863, and frame a Constitution to be submitted to the people for

HISTORICAL 47

their ratification or rejection. The vote in September was largely in favor of a State government. The Convention met in November and framed a Constitution, which, on being submitted to a vote of the people at the election held in January, 1864, was rejected by a decided majority.

"In the month of March, 1864, Congress passed an act, 'To en- able the people of Nevada to form a Constitution and State gov- ernment and for the admission of such State into the Union on an equal footing with the original States.' Under the provisions of this act, an election was held on the first Monday in June for dele- gates to the Constitutional Convention. The Convention assem- bled at Carson on the first Monday of July, and framed a Consti- tution, which was submitted to the people at an election held on the first Wednesday in September. This Constitution was ratified and adopted by a large majority. The President issued his proc- lamation on the 31st day of October, 1864, in pursuance of a provi- sion of the Enabling Act, admitting Nevada as a State of the Union. Under the provisions of the newly adopted Constitution, an election took place for State officers on the 8th day of November, 1864, who were to take the oath of office and enter on the performance of their duties the first Monday of December, 1864. In the meantime the late Territorial officers continued to exercise their functions in accord- ance with provisions made in the Constitution. On the first Monday of December 1864, the present Judges of the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada were sworn in and entered on the performance of their duties. The first regular term of court was held in January, 1865. In the month of March, 1865, the Legislature of the Stat; passed an act, the two first sections of which read as follows :

" ' 'Section 1. It shall be the duty of the Judges of the Supreme Court of this State to render written decisions in all cases to them submitted, except when cases on appeal are dismissed on exparte motion.

" 'Section 2. It shall be the duty of the Judges of the Supreme Court to prepare for publication, by giving the title of the cause, a syllabus of the points decided, a brief statement of the facts bear- ing on the points decided (when the same are not sufficiently stated in the opinion), the names of the counsel, and a reference to such authorities as are cited and have a special bearing on the case. It shall also be the duty of such Judges to make an index to each case as decided.'

"Subsequent sections authorize and require the members of the court to contract with competent publishers to prepare a general index, table of cases, and publish the first volume of the 'Nevada State Reports.'. The Judges, in pursuance of the law referred to, have prepared a syllabus and made an index of the principal points

48 HISTORICAL

decided in each case. They have contracted with James Anthony & Co., and the Hon. Robert Robinson and Edward I. Robinson, Esq., all of the city of Sacramento, for the printing and publishing of this volume. Messrs. Robinson to prepare the index and table of cases, and generally to supervise the publication. This volume will contain all the cases decided by the Supreme Court of Nevada during the year 1865."

High Tributes Paid Past Jurists.

It would be quite impossible in a volume of this size to publish in full any great number of the touching tributes paid to the mem- ory of those members of Nevada's Bench who have passed beyond the cares and worries of this prosaic life to make their final plea before that last Court of Eternal Justice, from which there is no appeal.

September 14, 1885.

In memoriam of the death of the Honorable B. C. Whitman.

He was a member of this court for upwards of six years, and in January, 1873, became, by our system of promotion, its Chief Justice. Some of us were associated with him upon the bench, and all of us enjoyed his personal friendship. In view of our high ap- preciation of his public and private character, we deem it fitting to make this public announcement of his death, and to render a proper tribute of respect to his memory.

Judge Whitman had by industry, learning and unsullied in- tegrity attained a high position in his profession. As a lawyer he presented legal propositions with precision, clearness and candor. His arguments and briefs were prepared with learning and ability, and greatly aided the court in the examination of the question to be adjudicated.

Upon his accession to the bench he brought to this court the qualities that distinguished him at the bar. Of broad experience, great quickness in the apprehension of the material facts of a case, learned in the legal principles and decided cases, and of ready and accurate judgment, he made a most valuable member of the court. To his associates he was uniformally kind and courteous, and in consultations his ready knowledge greatly lightened their labors. He was an able, learned and upright Judge, and his opinions to be found in our published reports, were the result of his honest con- victions of right.

In private life he was an example worthy of imitation. His refined taste and attractive manners, united with a pure character and a generous manly nature, made him admired and loved. His considerate tenderness as a husband, his kindness as a father, his

HISTORICAL 49

devotion to those to whom he was bound by the endearing" relations of domestic life, were charming traits of his character. Without intruding upon their grief, we tender them our deep sympathy in this affliction, and commend them to the consolation to be found in the honorable life and exhalted character of the husband and father they mourn.

(Bernard Crosby Whitman died August 5, 1885.)

September 6, 1886.

In memoriam of the death of Hon. J. Lewis, a former member of this court.

Hon. James F. Lewis died at Yuma, in the Territory of Ari- zona, on the seventeenth day of August last. In view of his hon- orable career upon the bench of this court, and as one of its mem- bers, we desire to place upon its records a memorial of his high character and judicial and professional ability.

Upon the re-organization of the court in the month of Decem- ber, 1864, Judge Lewis became its Chief Justice. At the succeed- ing1 election he was re-elected, and remained upon the bench until the month of January, 1873. The volumes of our reports during this period contain the published opinions pronounced by him. They are clear, concise and learned, and attest his ability, industry and conscientious performance of duty. His services were of great value to the State and profession, and deservedly gamed for him a high reputation. Upon retiring" from the bench he resumed the practice of his profession of the law. The qualities that had dis- tinguished him upon the bench, characterized him at the bar. In the trial of cases and the presentation of legal questions he was logical and candid. His briefs and arguments at the bar evinced thoroug-h preparation of his case. He carefully considered the legal principles applicable, and examined the authorities bearing upon them and mastered the questions involved before presenting his views to the court. His success at the bar is attributable to his well applied industry rather than to reliance upon readiness of thought or language at the argument. His mind was richly stored with legal principles and decided cases, and his association with his brothers of the bar, and especially the younger members, was kind and instructive and will be long borne in affectionate remembrance. He was highly esteemed for the purity of his character and his many deeds of unostentatious charity. An able and upright Judge, and honest lawyer, a good citizen, he commanded and retained the

50 HISTORICAL

confidence and respect of his fellow men. The circumstances of his sudden and unexpected death while engaged in the active duties of his profession are sad and affecting.

Note. — After Judge Lewis retired from the bench he proceeded to San Francisco to enter into the practice of law. He was there for some years before he was able to obtain any of the practice of which he was deserving. Finally he obtained employment in a large mining case, in which he was particularly well prepared, in Arizona. He had just completed this case, and was returning to California when he died. His death was caused by drinking too much ice water, in the warm climate of Arizona.

Regarding Justice Hawley.

"Whereas, In the fullness of years, and with the laurels of his judicial fame still unfaded upon his brow, the Honorable Thomas P. Hawley, for so many long years an honored member of the Su- preme Court of Nevada, and later for more than a decade and a half a distinguished member of the Federal judiciary, has fallen into that slumber which is the earthly end of every human life ; and

"Whereas, We feel that the passing of so conspicuous, able and universally respected a jurist forever from the sphere of human affairs into the domain of our judicial history, State and Nation, should be fittingly recognized ;

"Be it Resolved, That we most deeply deplore the death of one who was not only our professional brother, but a just, upright and able Judge, worthy in every way of our honor, respect and esteem.

"Resolved, That while keenly sensible of the loss we have sus- tained, we nevertheless feel a mournful pleasure in knowing that our deceased brother and friend had more than lived out the allotted age of man, and that, although he has personally gone from our midst, both his private life and his public career will be a source of inspiration and a beacon star of hope for untold generations yet to come.

"Resolved, That these resolutions be entered at length upon the records of this court, and that a copy thereof, under the seal of the court, be forwarded to each of the children of our deceased friend and brother.

"C. H. BELKNAP, "M. A. MURPHY, "A. L. FITZGERALD, "R. C. STODDARD, "H. F. BARTINE."

Hon. M. A. Murphy, Hon. H. F. Bartine, Hon. C. H. Belknap, Alfred Chartz Esq., and others, in well chosen and extended re-

HISTORICAL 51

marks, addressed the court, expressing the profound respect and admiration of themselves and the bar for the deceased jurists.

The Chief Justice responded :

"The court joins the bar in deploring the loss of the two dis- tinguished brothers in the profession. As with loved ones in our immediate families, we are never ready to lose our eminent citizens who must go as inevitably as all others. It seems but yesterday that they were with us in the strength of manhood and mental vigor. In the course of nature we are here this brief day, to- morrow we will be gone, and others will have taken our places.

"Only last evening a prominent attorney of this court, in an eloquent address in a sister city, incidentally compared one of these able jurists to an oak, indicative of more solidity and permanency than a rose. Yet the difference in the period of existence is only between a short span and one a little briefer, when Time, the de- stroyer and tomb-builder, gathers all.

"The language of the myriad-minded and immortal bard that 'the evil men do lives after them, the good is often interred,' does not apply to them. Their greatest fame and most enduring monu- ment remains from what they did in furtherance of justice, and for the general good in fitting to the jurisprudence of this developing State the common law, which, although it is based upon the wis- dom and experience of ages in other centuries before it was trans- planted here, yet is progressive and elastic enough to meet and cover the new conditions and necessities which arise in the affairs of men. Their exemplary and industrious careers and self-acquired success remind us forcibly of what may be accomplished by right living, close application, and honest endeavor, and of the oppor- tunities offered under this great government and a beneficent Creator."

Regarding Justice Bigelow.

"Rensselaer R. Bigelow was born on the 28th day of February, 1848, in Essex County, State of New York. He was married to Roxanna C. Gooding on the fifth day of January, 1876. Two chil- dren were the issue of this marriage — a daughter, Harriet E. Bige- low, who died some years ago, and a son, Earl G. Bigelow, now living.

"Judge Bigelow died at the City and County of San Francisco on the 18th day of February, 1907.

52 HISTORICAL

"Judge Bigelow was admitted to the bar in the State of Nevada on the 4th day of September, 1872, and practiced his profession in Elko, Nevada, until 1882, in which year he was appointed District Judge to fill the vacancy caused by the death of J. H. Flank. He was subsequently elected District Judge and served in that capacity until 1890. On the second day of December, 1890, he was ap- pointed Justice of the Supreme Court of this State to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of the Hon. Thomas P. Hawley. Prior to this appointment, on the 4th day of November, 1890, he had been elected a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nevada, for the term commencing in January, 1891. He served the full term as Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada, and upon the expiration thereof, in January, 1897, removed to San Francisco, and was there engaged in the practice of his profession until April 18, 1906, when by reason of failing health he was compelled to retire therefrom.

"Judge Bigelow, in his profession and private life, exemplified the highest type of patriotic citizenship, of the skilled and honest lawyer; in his official life, of the able and upright Judge, and in his domestic life, of the loving husband and father."

PROCEEDINGS IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA.

Saturday, April 30, 1910.

In memoriam of the death of Honorable Michael A. Murphy, formerly Chief Justice of this court.

"Judge Michael A. Murphy died in Carson City, Nevada, Oc- tober 26, 1909.

"In 1853 he crossed the continent and located in Trinity County, California, but in 1863 the mining excitement at Aurora, Nevada, allured him, and on the 16th day of April of that year he arrived there, and thus began his career in Nevada, which was de- stined to continue for almost half a century, and which was to bring to him among the highest professional and public honors that the friendship and devotion of a people could confer.

"In 1867 Judge Murphy was admitted to the bar, and com- menced the career which covered many years in public office and in the realm of professional endeavor.

"The year following his admission to the bar Judge Murphy was elected Assessor of Esmeralda County, but with the resolution firmly fixed in his mind to pursue his legal studies while holding this office, and to acquire additional knowledge of the law so that when he should begin his real career as a lawyer he would be well grounded in the elements of the law.

HISTORICAL 53

"After serving for four years as Assessor a loyal constituency proudly elevated him to the office of District Attorney, and thereby afforded him an opening in the great profession in which his ambi- tion had become centered and in which time and destiny were to exhalt him to the highest rank as a lawyer and a jurist.

"In 1878 his prominence had become State-wide and he was chosen to the office of Attorney-General, which office he held for the term of four years.

"In 1883 Judge Murphy began his career on the bench by be- coming the District Judge of Esmeralda County.

"In 1888 he was elected to the Supreme Bench of the State of Nevada, and the opinions rendered by him display that great care, caution and research which ever marked his efforts.

"In 1903 he became a District Judge and served for the term of four years.

"This distinguished jurist retired from the bench in January, 1907, and resumed the practice of his profession, with his office at Carson City. Clients came to him immediately, and he was em- ployed to represent some of the most important land and mining interests of the State. In land and mining law he was pre-eminent.

"Judge Murphy was not an orator, and neither did he possess what may be termed a scintillating mind, but he owned a firm and steady intellect, unfailing industry, and a confidence that loyal ser- vice has its reward, and with these attributes he won success and died honored and loved by thousands. Judge Murphy is survived by a son and daughter, who were present at his death. His wife, who was Martha J. Meyera, and to whom he was married in 1859, died in December, 1892.

"Blessed with success in his profession and with domestic hap- piness, he died looking back upon the successful years that devotion to duty had won.

"Judge Murphy was prominent in Masonic circles. He was a member of Carson Lodge, No. 1, F. and A. M., and Lewis Chapter, No. 1, R. A. M., having held the highest offices within the gift of these lodges. He was also a member of Islam Temple, Mystic Shrine, of San Francisco, and DeWitt Clinton Commandery, No. 1, K. of P., of Reno. He was Master for many years of Esmeralda Lodge, No. 6, of Hawthorne, Nevada. In 1885 and 1886 he was Grand Master of the F. and A. M. of Nevada, and in 1900 he was Grand High Priest of the R. A. M. .

"In disposition he was kind and generous and ever true to his friends. His whole life was characterized by a sincere devotion to the cause of charity. It is doubtful whether the State ever afforded a more striking example of kindly benevolence. His thoughts were constantly of those he loved, and his countless acts of comforting

54 HISTORICAL

kindness, sometimes at great personal sacrifice, come as a sweet and noble heritage to those he left behind."

(Judge Murphy was born in 1837 and died in 1909.)

A Retrospective View.

In the year 1881 there was published by the firm of Thompson & West of California, a 700-page work entitled "A History of Nevada," about ten pages of which work were devoted to a con- densed history of the State's Bench and Bar, from which we borrow the following paragraphs :

"The very origin of the influx of people to the 'Washoe' country was so anomalous, that each feature of its history is more or less similar in some respects. When the Comstock Lode was found to be a gigantic deposit of precious metal, it attracted at once some of the best as well as some of the worst types of civil- ization. As enormous wealth was under the surface of Mount Davidson, just so there sprang suddenly into existence a full- fledged municipality with 20,000 inhabitants. The city had no antique beginnings ; it grew like a mushroom in a night. Its courts were thronged with a more numerous and an abler Bar than at any time since Nevada became a State. The earlier history of juris- prudence of this State has less quaint species of anecdote than is found in States where the hardships of frontier life were for generations endured by Bench and Bar with the people whom they judicially governed. The former was the scene of earnest conten- tion between legal giants, and case quickly succeeded case, with each, as a rule, a new force of legal counsel. The practice was well systematized from the very first, and business was crowded along. In no portion of the Territory was there much of what in the East- ern States would be considered rural courts or practitioners. Every locality was either the scene of, or else closely connected with, some mining interest. There was little of agriculture, and char- acter anecdotes were rare. An incident or two will, however, be given, as much for the reason that they are generally Nevadan, as for any extraordinary attraction discoverable in the incidents them- selves.

"The Ophir Silver Mining Company was among the first on the Comstock Lode to get into bonanza and become wealthy and artistocratic in tone. The company erected extensive reduction works in Washoe Valley, about thirteen miles distant, at the foot of the Sierra, and coveted a valuable piece of timber land on the mountain side near by, and began to trespass upon the 'possessory title' of Negus & Stage, who were manufacturers of lumber and mining timbers. The result was a suit to restrain the trespass and to recover damages. The suit did not come up for trial in the

HISTORICAL 55

Washoe District Court until 1865. Hon. C. C. Goodwin, now edi- tor of the Salt Lake 'Tribune,' was the Judge presiding. Mr. Tom Cox, a 'rough diamond' in a legal way, was employed to assist the plaintiff, and Hon. B. C. Whitman and the eloquent Tom Fitch, whose oratory has a national reputation, appeared for the Ophir Company, which latter, by the way, was rather in its decadence through the working out of its rich pockets of ore. With such a team of legal luminaries to antagonize, Mr. Cox was somewhat driven to extremities in the closing speech for the plaintiff. It was necessary for him to offset the effect of the bewildering logic and charming eloquence with which the able 'corporation lawyers' had presented an unjust cause to the hard-headed jury, and accordingly he made a highly personal attack, not merely upon the alleged shakey old company itself, but upon the brethren who represented the interests of that bloated artificial personage. Accordingly he spoke substantially as follows :

" 'Gentlemen of the jury, the Ophir Company was a couple of years ago mighty in influence and rich in treasure taken from the bowels of Mount Davidson. They built walls of masonry three feet thick in every direction down here on Ophir Creek, and spread shingles over them, and put in furnaces and machinery, and called it a mill. Then they built a mansion near by, and fitted it up with everything costly, and called it the superintendent's residence ; then they fenced in the whole premises with ten-foot pickets, and called it the Ophir grounds, where you and I, gentlemen of the jury, were forbidden to enter without the superintendent's pass ; then they had their wine suppers, and the golden champagne flowed delight- fully, while fair women smiled, and bloated artistocrats gormand- ized. Their knives, and forks, and spoons, and plates were of sil- ver, and their glass was of the Bohemian cut of the first sparkle and crystal. In those days they had distinguished lawyers like Bill Stewart, General Williams and Dick Mesick to assist their over-reaching propensities. Everything was lovely with the Ophir then, while the outside world looked on with helpless envy at their shoddy dignity and their swelled-up self-esteem. Now all is changed, gentlemen of the jury. Their fence has fallen down ; they no longer give wine suppers ; they have shipped away their silver- ware; the Superintendent is gone; the mill shut down, and their old mine a "wild cat" ; their aristocracy is seedy, and for lawyers they have been obliged to content themselves with such men as Whitman and Fitch.'

"The bluff, contemptuous, and suddenly intrepid manner in which Mr. Cox had delivered these remarks, were a source of great amusement to the court and jury, and not without some slight effect upon the usually placid countenance of the Ophir's attorneys; but

56

HIS TOR1CAL

the jury were unable to discover the relevancy of this tirade to the case in hand, and promptly rendered a verdict in favor of 'the Ophir.' "

In the same work we find a very interesting chapter contain- ing what was at that date a fairly accurate and complete roster of the legal fraternity. It reads as follows :

"During the Territorial days, the more important litigation of the entire Territory was in a large part conducted by the members of the Bar of Virginia City, Carson and Austin. The mention of some of those who (aside from the persons heretofore named in connection with the subject) were identified with the early history of the Territory before it merged into the sisterhood of States, and since that time, as well, will have a familiar sound to the readers of these pages.

"And numerous others whose names are not to be found upon the official records. This is a long list for a population that has at no time reached 65,000 in number.

HISTORICAL 59

"Among these are names that have become noteworthy in the history of Nevada, and in the councils of the nation. Many were, in their day, and others are now, men of extraordinary ability in their profession. Each locality in this State can find in this list names closely identified with history.

"There is no doubt that from 1861 up to, and inclusive of, 1864, the strongest members of the California Bar were either residents of Nevada, or were connected with important litigation in our courts. Comparatively few of the ripe lawyers of those days are now in practice in this State. Several are dead, others have re- tired from practice, and many of them have settled in California."

To read the foregoing chapter of one period in the history of the Bench and Bar of Nevada, which was probably compiled not later than 1880, however interesting it may be, carries with it a touch of pathos when we consider how few of those historic names are still with us save in the spirit, and as a shadowy memory of the days and deeds long since passed into that silence that knows no awakening.

But the names on that long roster, and the many that have since been added, will live in history long after the bitterness of the legal differences they fought to quell have been forgotten. And no matter how many historians may work over those records in future, they must all either begin or close their volumes with the admission that never before nor since has a more brilliant galaxy of legal stars been associated together within the confines of one State.

Judge C. C. Goodwin, in his "As I Remember Them," gives pen sketches of the lives of some of the masterful souls of early Nevada.

JUDGE CHARLES H. BRYAN.

When I first knew him he was a young man, perhaps twenty-seven or twenty-eight years of age, handsome as Adonis, light-brown hair, blue eyes, the complexion of a carefully-housed girl, but with a singularly expressive and strong face, a firmly-knit frame, say five feet nine inches tall, and weighing perhaps one hundred and sixty pounds. A marked feature was his voice. Even in ordinary conversation there was a lyric resonance to it, with cadences that reminded one of the echoes of music that, sounding out over still waters, strikes a promontory and floats back partly in music and partly in murmurs. But when speaking to an audience, especially if the occasion or the theme had called out all his power, that voice took on organ tones and held men spellbound.

In those days, half a century and more ago, learned men had been more drilled in the classics, as a rule, than they are at present; men's thoughts seemed to be different from what they now are; the shadow of ancient renown was beckoning them on toward the height of great scholar- ship and toward a sphere where the language is as pure as that which Cicero in Rome and Demosthenes in Greece framed their sentences from.

60 HISTORICAL

Now the shadows of sky scrapers, and the stockboard are upon the eyes of students; the thought is not to climb the heights which are lighted eternally from above; but rather up those other heights where success, often bruised and scarred, and befouled and stained by the soil on which it camped on the trail, is found. And we sometimes think it can be detected in the voices of men. They seem to have a metallic ring, not the old sonorous rhythm. The first time I heard Charlie Bryan speak in public was in a court room. He was defending a surgeon for malpractice. A man had been shot through the muscles of the arm between the elbow and shoulder, the shot grazing but not severing the main artery. The surgeon amputated the arm and the victim had sued him, claiming heavy damages, on the ground that the amputation was needless. Eminent counsel were pressing the suit, and Bryan was alone in the defense. The suit hung on the question of how serious the wound was to the main artery. Bryan es- tablished that the outer coat of the artery was wounded. Opposing counsel insisted that it was but grazed and not seriously injured. An old army surgeon was called to the stand, the nature of the wound was described to him and he was asked what the practice would be in the army, if such a wound was encountered. He promptly replied: "We would take no chances, but amputate the arm," but at once added, "You know, we have not much time when a battle is on and many a limb is amputated that ought to be saved."

Now, when Bryan's client amputated the arm he had plenty of time, but was in a mountain mining camp where there were not many facilities for nursing the sick or attending to the wounded. All the facts were brought out but, boy that I was, I thought no especial skill had been exer- cised on either side. When the arguments began, one of the attorneys for the plaintiff stated the case briefly, that the man was shot through the arm, a mere flesh wound that should have been healed in ten days at most, whereas the bungler in charge, either through ignorance or a desire to make a large fee and some fame, had amputated the limb, crippling the man for life.

Then Bryan spoke. His voice to the jury was like a caress at the open- ing, as he explained to them their high duty as jurors, instruments selected to speak in the very name of justice. He then swiftly reviewed the testi- mony and declared that all of importance that had been delivered was by the army surgeon. Then his voice took on a shriller cadence. In half a dozen terse sentences he described a battle in progress — one could hear the volleys and the shouting, the tread of men and horses and now and then it seemed a strain of marshal music, the blare of a trumpet and the roll of drums. Then a wounded man was pictured, a man with a shot through the arm. A whole corps of surgeons are near; the probing of the wound re- veals a wounded artery, and the order is without hesitation: "The arm must be amputated."

Then the picture was changed to a rough mining camp; the room a miner's cabin; the lights but a few candles; a lone surgeon with but few instruments; the wounded man faint from loss of blood brought in, the wound still bleeding; and in those rude surroundings the surgeon does the best he can, and what he does saves the man's life. Then to the jury, in a solemn voice he said: "Shall this devoted man be punished for saving that life?"

The speech was but twenty-three minutes in delivery, but it had woven its spell. The associate counsel for the plaintiff tried argument and ridicule and scorn in vain against it.

HISTORICAL 61

For several years Bryan's success as an advocate and rostrum orator was phenomenal; at last he became a Judge of the Supreme Court. In that office he never made a mark. He was essentially an advocate.

Soon after it began to be noticed that his mental faculties were break- ing down. He bought the great race horse Lodi and was often seen on the race track. He began to drink a good deal; then as the crisis of the Civil War grew near, as Broderick and Ferguson were killed and old friends grew cold, when it began to be clear what was coming, Bryan was greatly perturbed. He was an Ohio man by birth, but always a Democrat. When the great race between Lodi and Norfolk was on at San Jose, the colored man who had been the stable companion of Lodi since colthood, who, so to speak, had brought him up, had broken him, trained him and petted him until neither the man nor the horse desired any other com- panionship— this colored man went to a group of gentlemen on the track and told him that he could do nothing, that Massa Bryan so interfered with him that he was helpless.

They told the colored man that they had -laid heavy wagers on the horse, and if Bryan tried any more to interfere, to not mind him, to knock him down if necessary and they would protect him. He went back to the horse and soon Bryan came again and began to order him what to do. The colored man took Bryan gently by the shoulders and said: "Massa Bryan, you must go away and not bother me any more until this race is over." Bryan, astounded, looked at him a moment, then turned and walked rapidly to a Democratic friend and in a whisper said: "We must get out of here; the abolitionists have got this town."

He drifted to Virginia City, Nevada. There he imagined he was com- mander of a picked army which he called "The Arizona Rifles." He would explain in the most perfect, classic English what the command consisted of, what its purposes were, how high were its motives; what it was sure to accomplish — the most beautiful English one could imagine, but not one word of sense.

It was in the days when the lawsuits on the Comstock assumed mag- nified proportions; it was at the time, too, when so many companies changed the old forms into corporations. In those days some young lawyers did not know everything about corporation laws; at least their practice had been outside of them.

One night a young lawyer with two or three clients was discussing an important case which they had on in the courts, when the lawyer frankly admitted that he was extremely perplexed and said he wanted associate counsel or at least the advice of some lawyer who was more familiar with those phases of the law than he. One of the principals who knew Bryan well, said: "Let us go and find Charlie Bryan. He is crazy as a bed-bug, but he might steer us straight."

They found him in bed in a hotel. He greeted them, first putting up his arms as though he held a gun, and began to speak of the Arizona Rifles. The young lawyer interrupted and explained to him his trouble in making an application of the law to a case in point. Bryan listened and then, sit- ting up in bed, said: "The case is simple. You have become confused in trying to make an application from some contradictory statutes which the British Parliament has woven into the law, to distinguish ecclesiastical from eommercal corporations. But the point you seek to establish was a funda- mental factor in the law as originally framed in old Rome, two thousand years ago." In the meantime his eyes had become fastened on a rude pic- ture seen through the dim light suspended on the opposite wall of his room, and he began to address that, as he would a court. He explained the whole

62 HISTORICAL

history of the laws governing corporations as they had from time to time been expounded and established in old Rome; linked them together until they became a perfect system, and with a diction altogether faultless and a courtesy and grace exquisite, exhausted the subject and then demanded judgment. Then he ceased, dropped back upon his pillow and in a moment fell asleep. His awed visitors, breathless, on tip-toe backed noiselessly from the room and noiselessly closed the door.

It was Bryan's last address to a court — the last flash of a glorified in- tellect going into final eclipse. I have often wondered where he thought he was, before what audience he was speaking. Was it a mental reincarna- tion, and was the opposing counsel some stately Roman like Cicero and the court the senate of Rome? Or was it the lord chief justice of England that he was addressing, with the paraphernalia of England's highest court around him? Was it an occasion such as he had dreamed of when first from school there were whispers from his own soul of what he might be if he tried? Who knows? But what a pity that when he sank to sleep that slumber had not deepened into the final sleep, for a few months later he died a pitiable accidental death in Carson City.

In all my life I never saw so splendid an intellect shattered; never a life so filled with promise go into total eclipse.

TOD ROBINSON.

He was not just like any of the others of the Argonauts. A matured man when he reached the, west coast; a fine scholar, an .eminent lawyer, an orator most careful in his selection of language, always in a public address to adjust himself to his audience; at home talking to a company of farmers, though he had but vague ideas of a farmer's life, but leaving an impression upon his hearers that a great farmer was spoiled when he became a lawyer; most intense in his sectional prejudices, but veiling them all in his dealings with men; imperious in his self-consciousness, but in his life meeting all men as though, to him, they were all on the same plane, he managed to draw to him the confidence and generally the affection of all persons brought in contact with him.

I never could explain his motives to my own satisfaction, but I presume that his thought was much the same as that of the Blucher of Prussia. He had a theory that there were only two kinds of men in the world, thosd whom we might call thoroughbreds and those who might be rated under the general term of mustangs; that the first were entitled to all courtesies because of the blood in their veins, no matter what might be their personal foibles; the others as not worth discussing pedigrees with. He was a dis- tinguished lawyer in California, up in the front rank with Baker, Randolph, Felton, McAllister and the rest, and he maintained his place when the mag- nitude of the fees and the tremendous importance of the issues to be de- cided drew that shining galaxy of legal talent to the Comstock in the first four years of the life of the great lode.

Then he was a most interesting speaker on any theme, though with him a speech was always a serious matter. He seldom attempted to mingle the least humor in a public speech, rarely permitting his imagination any play in rounding a period, or illuminating a sentence. He depended upon the cold logic of truth to point his argument and the perfect logical rhythm of his thoughts to kindle men's admiration. Naturally he was most effective in the court-room, one of the class that judges lean upon, for he never juggled with a legal principle and never misstated a legal proposition.

HISTORICAL 63

In private he was most winsome, and had a happy faculty of asking a few questions of a man that left an impression upon the man that he was solicitous about him and his.

He had mingled much with the world and was a shrewd judge of men and knew from what point to approach each one. Inherently he was a lover of justice, and that the right should prevail, and could have outlined what society would be when men had lost all their weaknesses, and all were striving toward a clearer and softer light, perhaps with as much vividness as Starr King himself.

But, after all, not one in a hundred of his close friends ever understood the ruling trait of his life, so carefully did he veil it.

He was at heart a sublime egotist. I have read of a few such men, but he was the only one I ever knew, personally.

A friend said to him one day: "Judge, I came up from Carson today. I was talking with Chief Justice Bronson of the Supreme Court last evening and he said to me: 'Do you know that the argument delivered yesterday before the court by Tod Robinson was the most profound and convincing legal argument I ever listened to?'"

With an air of perfect conviction and candor, Robinson simply replied: "It was."

Does not that remind one of what William Pinkney said of the great Samuel Dexter, the marvelous Massachusetts lawyer?

Dexter was one day replying in the Supreme Court to Rush when Rush, turning to Pinkney, said: "That is a very able argument," when Pinkney simply responded: "Wait till you hear me."

But egotism has been a trait in many a great mind. The Earl of Normandy made a speech in parliament which the Edinburgh "Review" praised highly, whereupon Brougham wrote the editor of the "Review," saying: "The speech was very good, only that it should have been less praised," adding: "He is an excellent fellow, and deserves great credit; but, truth to tell, his speech was a failure — so much so that I was forced to bear down to his assistance."

But Mr. Robinson's self-esteem seemed to be unconscious. It was like that of Daniel Webster, who never seemed conscious of anything like vanity, but who one day attacked a legal proposition of an opponent at the bar, and was reminded that he was assailing a dictum of Lord Camden. He simply turned to the court and delivered a wonderful eulogy upon Lord Camden's greatness as a jurist, which electrified the court and bar, but then, in his profound way, added: "But, may it please your honor, I differ from Lord Camden." Even Thomas Jefferson possessed that trait; John Adams had it stronger than Jefferson, while with John Quincy Adams it was al- most a disease, and if we go further back, the Apostle Paul could have held his own with old Tom Benton himself.

If Tod Robinson was conscious of any such trait, it never appeared in his public utterances, either at the bar or on the rostrum. He always talked to his theme and never forgot for a moment that it was the theme and not himself that the court, or the jury, or the audience desired to have elucidated.

WILLIAM H. CLAGGET.

I heard of Billie Clagget first about 1864 as a bright lawyer and mar- velous orator of Humboldt County. An old California friend who lived in Humboldt County, but who was making a brief business visit to Virginia City, said to me: "We have a young man out in Humboldt whom you are

64 HISTORICAL

going to hear about one of these days. He is the son of the famous Judge Clagget of Iowa, splendidly grounded in the law, but it is as a speaker that he is going to win. When he talks he is sometimes a whole orchestra play- ing, sometimes just a great baritone chanting a battle hymn with organ accompaniment."

After a while we all knew him better. After Nevada was admitted into the Union his business often called him before the Supreme Court at Carson City. About 1866 he was a candidate for Congress, but so many of us had made pledges to help friends who were candidates that we had to beat him in convention, and have been grieving over it ever since.

The man nominated was a lawyer and in broad experience the superior of Clagget, but none of us loved him so much. Had any one else been defeated on that day we would all have forgotten it, but when Clagget's de- feat is thought of a feeling of sorrow is awakened yet in the hearts of the very few who are left of that convention.

I suspect it was that faculty of winning the sympathy for the cause he advocated, that gave the chiefest charm to his eloquence.

He was a fine lawyer and natural great orator, but he never made a masterful success because of certain idiosyncracies of his mind.

For instance, his idea of his own political sagacity in the handling of a campaign was like Richelieu's idea of his own poetry. He thought it the clearest evidence of his genius; it was his utter weakness.

An ordinary ward politician could beat all his combinations and shiver to atoms his most cherished plans.

He was often the same way about business matters. I remember that on one occasion he was sanguine that he had secured the key which was going to make him a millionaire. He explained it to me. He told me of the hundreds of thousands of acres of worn-out lands that were in the State of Virginia alone. He further explained that the land was not really worn out, but that because of the steady rotation of one crop certain of the orig- inal elements of the soil had been leached out or exhausted, that the alkali soil in places in Nevada possessed those very elements, and that with the alkali soil for a fertilizer the lands which were now practically almost value- less, would increase in value four or five hundred per cent.

I asked him how much of the fertilizer he proposed to apply to the acre. He replied: "Oh, some hundreds of pounds, you know, it will cost nothing here in Nevada."

"But," I asked, "how much will the freight upon it be from Nevada to Virginia?"

He had never thought of that.

He practiced law for a good many years and held his place up in the front rank of the marvelous bar of that State, but his charm was his elo- quence. He had every attribute of an orator. His voice was glorious, there was a grace in every movement that was an enchantment and his mind was so equipped that he could draw his illustrations from every mine of knowl- edge. On the rostrum he was perfectly at home, while before a great, cheering crowd, one watching him thought instinctively of Job's war honse, "whose neck was clothed with thunder" and "saith among the trumpets, Ha, Ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shouting."

After a while he left Nevada and settled in Montana, when it was a territory. There the people sent him as a delegate to Congress. But a delegate from a territory has not much chance. He is expected to talk very little, save on questions pertaining to his own territory, and it must have been a torture to Clagget to listen in half-enforced silence as chump

HISTORICAL 65

after chump, in a lumbering way, discussed themes which they but half un- derstood and to which they could lend no inspiration.

After a while Clagget visited Salt Lake and because of illness in his family remained in that city several months — the greater part of one winter.

Toward spring he told me one day that he was going to Oregon. I asked him if he believed that was a good State for a lawyer, whereupon he confided to me that he did not care about practicing law any more, but added: "I have money enough to buy 160 acres of land in Oregon and fix myself comfortably. I intend to plant 100 acres of the land to apples. There is no such country for apples as Oregon. I shall plant 100 trees to the acre, plant them wide apart, so they will have plenty of sunlight. After eight years they will bring me net $10 to the tree. There is never any failure of crops there. Ten dollars to the tree will give me $1,000 per acre, and 100 acres will make my income $100,000 per annum, and that is as good to a prudent man as a million." It was a good thought.

I saw him three or four years later and he told me the climate of the Willamette valley was too damp for him, that it gave him rheumatism, and that he had made his home in Idaho.

Two or three years later he was a candidate for United States Senator, and when the legislature met it was expected that he would be elected. The late O. J. Salisbury of Salt Lake City, who was very fond of him, went to Boise to help him.

He returned after two or three weeks and told me that it was no use; that Clagget had a plan which he was sure would win and would take no advice from friends, and added the belief that he would be defeated, or if elected it would be in spite of Clagget's management. He was defeated and two or three years later died. The greatest sorrow that his death caused his friends was the thought that he died without ever having found the place where what was greatest in him could be made clear. What was masterful and grand in him seemed always under the domination of that part of his brain that was not infrequently weak. Men with half his legal learning; not half his scholarship, possessing not one tithe of his eloquence, have made for themselves immortal names.

WILLIAM M. STEWART.

He was six feet two inches in height, his natural weight in early man- hood was about 210 pounds, which, with age, increased to 250 pounds. He had a great wealth of reddish-brown hair, with immense whiskers and mus- tache of the same hue; his eyes, I think, were gray, but under any light except sunlight, they seemed to be black. He had fine hands and feet, and was a most impressive-looking man.

He had, too, a bearing like that of a lion when he stalks up and down his cage and dreams of his days in the jungle when he was lord of all.

He was born a little east of Rochester, New York, in Wayne county, and grew up on a farm. He received a fair education and studied law. But he did not know law enough to hurt, until after he reached California.

When the news reached the east of the gold discoveries in the far west, he only waited to have the news confirmed, and then, going west, bought four or five yoke of oxen and a wagon, loaded what stores he thought he would need, and drove his oxen into California. No man from Pike County, Missouri, could excel him in manipulating an ox team.

When he sold his outfit, bought a few books and opened a law office in Nevada City, California, those who had seen him navigate his "prairie schooner" and oxen, resented the change and gave gloomy forecasts of the future of an accomplished "bull-whacker" trying to be a lawyer.

66 HISTORICAL

But Stewart was never sensitive and was always sanguine, and worked on the theory that a man who possessed the needed qualifications to suc- cessfully engineer an ox team across the continent might, if he tried, suc- ceed in other fields of effort.

He grew in his profession from the first. If, now and then, he received a metaphorical black eye from some giant at the bar like Colonel E. D. Baker or General Charles H. Williams, he was not discouraged, neither did he sulk in his tent, but went to work to fit himself to meet a like attack in future, and reasoned that after a while there would be no attacks that he could not parry.

It is told that when the original James Gordon Bennett had a street scrap in New York, and got the worst of it; he quietly went to a pump on the street corner, washed the blood from his face and eyes, then sat down on the curb, and wrote a picturesque account of the collision for publication in his own paper, declaring, with proper journalistic alertness, that he did not intend to permit the "Tribune" to get a scoop.

Our idea is that Stewart would have done the same thing under like circumstances.

His practice in California oscillated between Nevada county and Sierra county, Nevada City and Downieville being the respective county seats.

He had sharp competition. There were Thornton, Taylor, Meredith, Dunn, Campbell, McConnell and a score more, and important cases drew from Marysville and Sacramento their ablest attorneys, and many of them were giants.

The resourcefulness of Stewart was something wonderful. Then, as said above, he was not sensitive, neither was he sentimental, and his nature all his life was to conquer any difficulty that he met.

He commenced the construction of a fine house in Nevada City. Asked what he wanted of so pretentious a structure, he replied that the finest girl in all the Golden West had consented to marry him, and on a certain date he was going to San Francisco to get her to come up and put the house in order.

At the appointed time he left for San Francisco. He called upon the lady — she was a most splendid woman — and told her he had come for her. Then, in the most delicate and pleading words she could master, she told him that she had thought that she loved him and meant to marry him, but that she had met another, and from that hour she had known that it would be wrong for her to marry any other man.

Stewart made no comment, uttered no reproach, expressed no sorrow, but merely asked the name of the favored man.

The lady told him, he bade her good-bye and went back to his hotel. Soon, ex-Senator Foote — formerly of Mississippi, came in, and seeing Stewart, asked him to take a drink. Stewart acquiesced, then asked Foote to drink, and they made a night of it and all the next day, and part of the second night.

They had reached the limit and were lying side by side on the floor of Stewart's room, when Foote said:

"Stewart, you are a northern man; your political principles are a dis- grace to the world, but personally I like you exceedingly, and it will be a pleasure to me at any and all times to serve you personally."

"You can do me a great favor right now," said Stewart. "I want your permission to ask your daughter Annie to be my wife."

"Well," said Foote, "as I told you, your political principles are a dis- grace, but you are clever, and I never go back on my word, suh. Go and see and if you can fix up things with Annie all right. She might do worse."

HISTORICAL 67

Stewart straightened up as rapidly as he could, and when fully himself, he called upon the young lady and asked her to be his wife. She wanted a little time to consider the matter, but Stewart insisted that every day she would be considering would be a lost day for them both, and he carried his point. Within a week they were married. Stewart carried his bride triumphantly home, and it was a long time before Nevada City people knew that Mrs. Stewart was not the lady that he had all the time expected to marry.

By the way, the other lady married the man of her choice. The pair moved to Virginia City just about the time that Mr. and Mrs. Stewart moved there, and the two men were rivals professionally and politically for years, Stewart winning more than half the honors professionally and all the honors politically. But the other was the abler lawyer.

The Comstock was just the field for William M. Stewart. The laws governing mining titles at the time were confused and often of doubtful construction; the titles sometimes overlaid each other three times on the same ground, the courts were presided over in great part by judges who in the east had been given appointments because of political services rendered Congressmen; the majority of them knew little of the science of the law and nothing at all of the complications they would meet in the west; many of them were as corrupt as they were stupid; there were witnesses who could be educated; there were jurors who were not there because of the climate; tremendous sums were often at stake, and fortunes were made or lost on the determination of a case.

In such a field William M. Stewart was entirely at home; the forces around him were such as he loved to ride and control.

Then he was, personally, much liked by the stormy crowds that surged up and down the great lode. He was generous, never apparently caring for money, a host was always ready to back him, and he had a courage that never failed him in or out of court.

Much more profound lawyers than he thundered against him, and made arguments which before a great judge would have carried absolute convic- tion, but Stewart was never fazed; he could appeal to juries and to those chumps of judges successfully, when his case had been torn to shreds, and in a thousand adroit ways baffle all legitimate conclusions.

He made a great fortune between the time of the finding of the Com- stock and the creation of the State of Nevada, and then was in such a posi- tion that it was conceded on all sides that he would be one of the first United States Senators.

He was elected almost without opposition.

In the Senate his first work was to frame a bill defining how quartz veins should be located, their extent, and what the location should include, pushed it through both houses and never rested until he had obtained the President's signature. For that service he is entitled to the gratitude of every mining man in the nation.

He performed much other splendid work for his constituents and for the west, and was one of the bulwarks of his party in the Senate on all the questions that were sprung in reconstruction days. He was a stalwart of stalwarts. Grant leaned on him, so did Conkling, Chandler, Carpenter — all of them.

He maintained his place as one of the foremost Senators until the silver question assumed an acute stage. So sanguine was he in the righteousness of the silver cause that he believed he could carry the Senate his way. He did not realize that the cards were all stacked against him and when finally told by a friend that he was fighting a hopeless battle, he replied: "I may

68 HISTORICAL

not convince them, but I can make the situation almighty disagreeable for them."

At last, when he began to speak on that theme, Senators, one by one, would get up and leave the hall. The gold press, too, assailed him with anathemas and ridicule, but neither Senators nor newspapers could answer his arguments, and they are more pertinent today than when delivered.

Mr. Stewart left the Senate after serving two terms, was re-elected in 1885, and served two terms more.

Filled with his old farmer memories, he went over into Virginia, bought a farm and started a dairy. But it was not a financial success. When his last term in the Senate expired he returned to Nevada, built a fine house in Bullfrog and opened a law office and remained there two years until the titles in Goldfield and adjacent camps were pretty well settled. He then returned to Washington and made that city his home until in about 1908 he suddenly died.

He was one of the most extraordinary men who ever lifted his head above the level in California and Nevada; one of the most forceful per- sonalities in the nation.

He had fine legal abilities, though not of the highest, but he was one of the most successful lawyers that the west ever knew. His executive abilities were wonderful. He would have made a superb State Governor, a broad, enlightened president of a continental railroad company, and a much more able President of the United States than either of several who have been Presidents.

In preparing a case for trial not one detail was omitted to insure suc- cess; in framing up a political campaign he was the same way.

He liked to make money, but he cared little for it, and rich men re- ceived no consideration from him on account of their wealth.

When one very rich man was in much trouble he sent for Stewart to help him out.

Stewart said: "I will do what I can for you, but I don't like your tone. You have been a d — d old fool, but now brace up and take your medicine."

He was hearty and strong to the very last, and did not mind a cham- pagne dinner that lasted all night. He should have lived many years longer.

For some ailment he submitted to a petty operation, and died next day. My belief is that he died from the effects of the anesthetic administered to him.

He was not only a great man, but one of the very truest of friends. His loyalty to his friends was one of the very finest of his manifold attributes. He would not permit any one to assail a friend of his in the friend's absence.

He early clashed with President Cleveland, most naturally on the sil- ver question. Shortly after the inauguration of President McKinley, he came west. I asked him if the change of Presidents would make any dif- ference in the status of silver in Washington. He thought it would not. I said: "The change of Presidents then is not much more than a change of men?"

He replied: "That is about all except that the man who is now Presi- dent is a gentleman."

He made "The House of Stewart" a great house.

JUDGE B. C. WHITMAN.

So far as I could ever see, there was not one flaw in the character of Judge Whitman. A gentleman, a gentleman always; educated, refined, so exalted in his integrity that it was never questioned; the most devoted father

HISTORICAL 69

and husband; the most considerate of the faults of others; mingling with all that throng on the Comstock in the first wild days in perfect accord, and still making it absolutely clear that he had nothing in common with anything coarse or rude or unclean, he was to men what the Gulf stream is to the common waters of the sea, moving amid it with a current dis- tinctly its own, fed by a different fountain, bound on a separate voyage, utterly unlike in temperature, and pursuing a different course.

He was always genial and gentle; he loved his friends, loved to asso- ciate with his fellow men; he had an exquisite sense of humor, and still he always gave me the impression that he would have been perfectly at home in some great institution where only high thoughts were permitted, only classic language spoken.

He practiced law many years in Virginia City in those years when gladiators in the profession met in the arena and fought to the limit, and held his own there.

No spoken nor mental reproaches ever followed Judge Whitman out of court. The thought was: "Whether right or wrong, he thinks he is right."

When elected to the Supreme bench, and he took his seat, it seemed to those who watched as though the seat had been long waiting for him, so natural was it to think of him as a Judge.

I do not think he was as profound a lawyer as Judge Mesick, or C. J. Hellyer or General Charles H. Williams, but he was great enough to have the perfect confidence of the whole bar, not only in his absolute integrity, but in his knowledge and his utter absence of prejudice.

Outside of his profession he was a most valued citizen. He was a mas- sive man physically and intellectually; he had most pronounced opinions on all subjects relating to the government and country; he could express them without offense and in a way to influence those who heard him. And so he moved, an example of high manhood and of exalted patriotism all his days.

In those first days on the Comstock, when the clouds of the dreadful war gathered and broke in their fury, the bar of Virginia City was about equally divided between northern and southern men, and sectional differ- ences between them were bitter in the extreme.

These had been nursed during the five preceding years in California after the Democratic party had divided and the tattered remnants of the old Whig party had been picked up and woven into the Republican fabric.

This had been greatly intensified by the death of Broderick and Fer- guson in California; their friends declaring, in their sorrow and wrath, that they had been slain to get them out of the way, the friends of Terry and Penn Johnson insisting that both had acknowledged the code and that they were fairly killed.

For many months the dropping of a match would have kindled a civil war. Among these contending forces Judge Whitman moved with his life- long serenity, and though as fixed in his convictions as any of them, and as perfectly understood, his presence made for order and for law, not only among the men who were prominent, but among their respective followers. It was natural, too, for to have assailed him would have been like knocking the scales from the hands of Justice or bespattering the white robes of Peace.

The influence for good of such a man cannot be estimated. As the years move on he gains in his influence, and it is more difficult for men to do unmanly things when they meet such a man every day.

70 HISTORICAL

When Judge Whitman left the Supreme bench the Comstock was going into temporary borasco, and he removed to San Francisco and resumed the practice of law there, which he pursued for a few years until one evening he went into one of the gentlemen's clubs in the city and feeling drowsy laid down upon a lounge. Soon after he lost consciousness and a little later died.

It is a welcome memory that when his call came it was without pain and that death to him was but passing from a troubled sleep into the sleep of everlasting peace.

In life his was as nearly a perfect character as I ever met.

Men can live calm lives in a cloister; if their lives are absolutely de- voted to the service of God, many men can live blameless lives; but Judge Whitman assumed all a man's duties as husband, father, citizen, and fought for a place and name against all the sharp competitions necessary to forge out unaided his way, and so did his work that there was not a stain on his character, not a reproach attaching to his high soul to the last.

He was the highest possible type of man, and those who revered him most were those who understood him best; those who loved him best were those who had been closest to him in their relations.

To his family he was at once a king and a guardian angel.

He was in the sharp contests of business, and every night emerged from the fiery furnace as did the three — no smell of fire upon him.

HARRY I. THORNTON.

He was slight and fair, not more than twenty-four years of age, I think, when he reached California, but he was already an accomplished lawyer. He hailed, I believe, from Alabama, and was of the first families. He settled in Downieville and soon made a name as an orator and lawyer, and was looked upon as sure to stamp himself upon the State as one of its foremost citizens. His private life was above reproach — he always carried himself as one who was above winning anything except on merit, and as though his self-respect was something which he would sooner die than stain or wound. After awhile the Sierra, district sent him to the legislature and he soon made a name there as a speaker and legislator. He was a Democrat of the Southern school and politics were fast taking on a fiery form in California. The killing of Broderick by Terry, and Ferguson by Penn Johnson had inflamed northern-born men of all parties. Though they were both killed in duels, the feeling in the first case was that he was challenged by an expert duelist, not because of the reason assigned, but to get him out of the way, and in the latter case that it was little better than murder, for Ferguson was one of the most genial, gentle and kindly of men.

The extreme Southern-born men counted on General Albert Sidney Johnston turning over the arms and ammunition stored in Alcatraz to them. But he was a soldier, and was on his honor to perform his duty, and though all his sympathies were with the Confederacy, he would not betray his trust. When he was relieved by General Sumner, and resigned from the army to start for the South, a great many southern-born men in California followed him.

Thornton made a ringing speech in the legislature giving his reasons why he could no longer serve California as one of her law-makers, sent in his resignation, and likewise left for the South.

He was at once given a commission and a place on General Pat Cle- burne's staff. He fought in all the battles that the fiery Cleburne engaged in, the most furious one being at Franklin. He told me that on that after-

HISTORICAL 71

noon Hood ordered six separate assaults upon the earthworks behind which Schofield with his seven thousand veterans played upon Hood's army in the open field. Six high officers of Hood's army were killed, among whom, if we are not mistaken, Cleburne was one, with a score of lesser officers and an appalling list of men. Franklin virtually decided the battle of Nashville.

It was what Hougomont was to Waterloo, and a part of Hugo's de- scription would apply to Franklin, as follows:

"Napoleon sent his brother Jerome against Hougomont; the divisions of Foy, Guillemont and Bacheln hurled thunders against it; nearly the en- tire corps of Rielle was employed against it and miscarried; Killerman's brigades were exhausted on this heroic section of wall. Banduin's brigade was not strong enough to force Hougomont on the north, and the division of Gage could not do more than effect the beginning of a breach on the south."

And the result:

"Banduin killed; Foy wounded; conflagration, massacre, carnage; a river of English blood; French blood; German blood mingled in fury; a well crammed with corpses; the regiment of Nassau and the regiment of Brunswick destroyed; Duplat killed; Blackmaun killed; the English guards mutilated; twenty French battalions besides the forty from Reille's corps descimated; three thousand men in that hovel of Hougomont cut down, slashed to pieces," etc.

As will be remembered, when Sherman at Atlanta wired Grant, asking permission to break away from' his base and go through to the sea, Grant wired back to detach Thomas to look after Hood (who was in command of the Southern army in front of Sherman), and then go ahead. Sherman took ninety thousand of his army and started "From Atlanta to the Sea," and the army he left Thomas was so much inferior to Hood's that there was nothing for Thomas to do but to fall back until he could unite with the command at Nashville. Then began that movement of Thomas' army with Hood hanging on his rear and seeking the opportunity to overwhelm him.

When Thomas reached Franklin, two days' march from Nashville, he ordered Schofield with seven thousand men to occupy the works there that had previously been constructed; to keep a lookout for Hood, and if he found that he was flanking him, to leave the works and hurry after him, but if Hood attacked him to fight him until night and then draw out his troops and follow him to Nashville. Evidently Thomas believed from what he knew of Hood's impetuous nature that he would try to crush Scofield and then his battle with Thomas would be much easier, which would have been good generalship had Scofield been in the open like himself, but not when Schofield's army was splendidly entrenched. So Hood led his army through six distinct assaults with loss so frightful that it was only a half-hearted army that he had left. Thornton told me that in the last assault General Adams led his command until his horse's fore feet were reared upon the earthworks, when he and his horse were both killed.

When night came down, following his orders, Scofield silently with- drew his army and hurried on to join Thomas. Next morning the Con- federates entered the deserted works, and found there the body of General Adams. The Federals had gone out and carried the body in, composed the limbs on a blanket and over it had laid an officer's costly military cloak.

When the war closed Thornton prepared the necessary papers and went to Washington. He went to Secretary of War Stanton's office next morn- ing and waited his turn to speak to him. When the others were disposed

72 HISTORICAL

of, Thornton went to the rail which separated the outer from the inner office, and Stanton asked in his brusque way what he could do for him. Thornton, pushing forward his papers, replied: "I have come, Mr. Secre- tary, with a petition for pardon."

Stanton looked down upon him for an instant and then said: "You had better go about your business. We are not spending our time in par- doning boys.,"

I suspect that hurt Thornton more than would a blow. He had prac- ticed law several years, been a member of the legislature of a great State and then had fought by the side of a general renowned for his fighting pro- pensities, only to be called a boy and told to go about his business by a grim old secretary of war.

From Washington he went to New York and watched the thousands that thronged the streets, the ships going and coming, and he told me he had never realized before what fools the southern men had been. "Why," said he, "New York City alone could have licked us, and had she found the work a little too robust, she could in a month have imported enough Irish- men and Germans to have beaten us down through the sheer force of num- bers." As soon as he could he sought the west. Reaching San Francisco, his friends advised him that all the rush was for Nevada, and he went there, settling first, I think, in Austin and going from there to Hamilton. When he arrived in Austin he found many old Sierra county friends. The first proposition was to all have a drink. As they stood glasses in hand, one man cried out, "Here's to the south, beaten, but not subdued." Thornton set down his glass and turning to the man, said: "Where in the south did you serve?"

"Oh, I was here," said the man.

Then Thornton said: "I was in the south, and I am subdued."

He formed a law partnership with Judge Garber, and the firm was rec- ognized as one of the foremost in the State for several years. He was handling a mining case in Belmont and the principal on the other side was a Frenchman who had but a poor understanding of English. In his final argument, Thornton used the Frenchman's name several times. A would- be funny deputy sheriff sitting near the Frenchman asked him if he under- stood what Thornton was saying. He replied that his understanding was imperfect, when the other, thinking to have some fun, told the Frenchman that he was making fun of him and intimating that he was none too honest. When the Frenchman finally understood, he grew pale and asked the deputy if he would carry one paper to Monsieur Thornton. The deputy said he would, and the Frenchman went to a desk and wrote something in French and gave it to the deputy.

When Thornton finished his argument the .deputy carried him the paper. Thornton read it, his face flushed a little and leaning forward, he penned an answer. A lawyer friend was watching him, and leaning over him said: "What is it, Harry?" Thornton passed him the Frenchman's note. He read it and the friend said: "Are you going to notice it, Harry?" For answer he held up his acceptance. The friend read it and then declared that it must not be; that Thornton had said nothing to provoke a challenge, and the man was only a boor.

To this, Thornton replied: "When a man is willing to risk his life for the honor of his name, his social position is not to be questioned. He is a man as good as any other man."

It required the utmost exertion of the court and bar, coupled with the protestations of the deputy that it was all meant as a bit of fun, to make Thornton concede anything. Finally he said: "Gentlemen, bring me a for-

HISTORICAL 73

mal withdrawal of this challenge signed by Monsieur, or the fight goes." Then the Frenchman was appealed to, but he was as game as a bull-dog, and not until the judge of the court assured him on his honor that there* was not a word of disrespect to him in Thornton's speech, would he sign the paper. He finally did, grinding his teeth and swearing low to himself in the meantime. Then he sprang up and challenged the deputy to fight him, "not with ze sabre, not with ze gun, not with ze cannon, not with ze bomb, but with ze fists."

Then it required another extended explanation that the deputy was a peace officer, and while he held the office could only fight to keep the peace.

The Frenchman was still angry when he started out of town toward his mine.

Thornton and Garber were in all the litigation in White Pine county, and in all the great cases in Pioche and Eureka. After some years they removed to San Francisco and there maintained their high standing as lawyers and men. But after Mrs. Thornton died, Harry seemed to lose his interest in his business, and a little later an insidious disease came upon him. He had bought a farm some miles out of Oakland and raised horses and flowers upon it. He bought the place merely as a resting place when he wanted to be quiet, but as his feebleness increased he spent more and more time there, and I believe died there.

He was most gifted and lovable; most generous in his estimates of his fellow men. There was nothing of envy or jealously in his nature; not one drop of cold blood in his veins. Such a nature naturally drew men to it, and the grief over his death extended from cabin to palace and took in all classes of men.

Except for the great war, Harry I. Thornton's name would have been familiar and honored in every home on the west coast.

A little anecdote may make a good closing for this sketch. One day, when General Sherman was before Atlanta and Bragg was in command of the Confederate army in his front, Bragg sent a flag of truce to Sherman. Thornton heard the order given and begged to go along. The little com- pany passed through the union lines and came upon Sherman's headquar- ters. One side of Sherman's tent was thrown back and Sherman was seen within bending over a map and talking to a group of officers around him and gesticulating in his impetuous way. As the flag of truce was announced all in the tent stood at attention. The ranking officer approached General Sherman. They had been friends before the war. Sherman greeted him cordially and presented him to the officers around him. Then the Con- federate officer presented those who had accompanied him, until it came to Thornton, when Sherman said: "One moment." Looking intently at Thornton in his colonel's uniform, he said: "I had the honor of being asso- ciated with you in the trial of the case of Lucas Turner & Co. vs. Lang- ston's Express Company, in Downieville, California. The trial began on the 16th day of February, 1854, and lasted four days. It was a hot fight, but we licked 'em. I am glad to see you, Col. Thornton." Then added, "Colonel Harry I. Thornton." Then he turned to his officers and intro- duced Thornton as an old California friend.

JUDGE ALEXANDER BALDWIN.

In Nevada he was known as "Sandy" Baldwin; a small man about five feet eight in height, weighing perhaps 135 pounds. Had he been born a bird, he would have been a game rooster or an eagle.

74 HISTORICAL

He was the son of the famous Judge Joe Baldwin of Alabama, who wrote "Flush Times in Alabama." Sandy was not as great a lawyer or as profound a scholar as his father, but was growing to be both when over- taken by an untimely death.

He was one of the partners of William M. Stewart in Virginia City when he was appointed a United States Circuit Judge for Nevada.

This appointment sobered him a good deal, for he fully realized the re- sponsibilites of the place, and notwithstanding his impetuous nature and the strong prejudices which he never sought to conceal, in his rulings an enemy was liable to fare better than a friend, for his thought seemed to be: "Would it not be a shame were I to permit my personal dislikes to sway my judicial judgment in weighing the legal rights of this man." So he gave him the benefit of all his doubts.

But it was when practicing law in Virginia City that he shone best. His audacity was something beautiful to see, and he kept his natural im- pudence burnished bright, though his hearty good nature made every one fond of him.

One day in a case a great deal of trouble was encountered in selecting a jury. The attorney opposed to Sandy was one given to spending much time on details, some of them trifling in importance. Finally, Sandy ap- pealed to the court, pointing out that half the day had been spent on trifles not worth considering, adding that a few minutes were as good as a few hours in reaching a conclusion whether a man was competent to sit on a jury or not.

His opponent replied that he was bound to use every precaution and that he wanted the cause of his client tried by a jury of his peers.

Quick as a flash Sandy responded: "I see, you are expecting a break from the Nevada penitentiary and that all the convicts will make a rush for Story county to serve on juries."

In those years of 1861-62 and '63 about the hottest thing in Storey county was politics. Parties were about equally divided and party feeling ran very high. A contingent of the Knights of the Golden Circle was there and it was understood that if a break was made in California a like stand would be made in Virginia City. There were many sharp quarrels and here and there a man was killed, but when Sumter was fired upon, most of the Douglas Democrats joined with the Republicans, while the southern wing of the Democracy clung to the cause of the south.

Sandy was from the South, but he was a Union man, and this made the chivalry hate him worse than they did northern born Union men. But Sandy cared nothing for that.

One day a southern man was telling of the loss his family in the south would suffer should their slaves be freed, whereupon Sandy offered to bet him a thousand dollars to five hundred that no member of his family ever owned a slave; that in the south he belonged to the "poor white trash," that even the slaves had a contempt for, adding: "I know you by your walk. You have that shamble which is hereditary with your class of poor whites."

Before the autumn election in 1864 the Democrats had a county con- vention in Virginia City and determined to have a torchlight procession at night. The torches were secured and a brass band engaged and the pro- cession started. It made a fine showing as it marched up C Street; the band playing and the men cheering.

Sandy was watching, but suddenly stepped from the sidewalk into the narrow street, and, touching one of the link men on the shoulder, with a stately courtesy, said: "Excuse me, my friend, and pardon my suggesting

HISTORICAL 75

that you carry your torch nearer vertical, lest you burn the hair from the teeth of the gentleman next behind you." He deserved killing every day for the things he said, but somehow they never killed him.

The Republicans held a convention in Virginia City once, and a some- what noted speaker was very bitter on the south, of the men who lived on the unpaid labor of the slaves, and spoke generally disdainfully of southern men and methods.

When he finished, Sandy sprang to his feet and made a speech, the tenor of which was something like this:

"I hope never to hear another speech such as we have just listened to, for it is hard for some of us to bear.

"The south is wrong now, but they are a brave and impetuous race and I can understand how, environed as they are, as their lives have been, they have been led into their present attitude. I am satisfied that had I remained there, I should have been with them heart and soul. But no mat- ter how much in the wrong they may be, there is no nobler race of men than they; they treat their slaves better than the gentleman who has just addressed you would had he been a slaveholder among them; and the man who discounts the manhood of the men or the womanhood of the women of the south, is to be pitied for his ignorance, for he knows nothing of what he essays to discuss."

Judge Baldwin had a high and proud career in Nevada and grew in in- tellect as the years went by, but suddenly in the very prime of his man- hood and when his abilities were at their highest, he was, in 1869, killed instantly in a railroad collision near Alameda, California.

He was greatly missed and mourned in Neva'da.

He would have been a distinct personality in any country; so game was he, so alert, so audacious and yet so kindly. He had all the attributes that go to make up a brilliant and stalwart man; he was an honor to his name, to the State that gave him birth, to the State in which he was so conspicuous a figure for fifteen years. He was buried from the home of his great relative, John B. Felton, in Oakland, and the winds that sweep in through the Golden Gate pause to murmur over no braver grave than his.

Judge Baldwin's wife was one of the most beautiful women of the west coast. About the time of the Judge's death the wife of General John B. Winter, Superintendent of the Yellow Jacket mine at Gold Hill, died. The families had been intimate friends and two or three years after the death of Judge Baldwin and Mrs. Winter, the General and Mrs. Baldwin were married, and a little later removed to San Francisco.

From the beginning of the mining on the Comstock a weird woman lived there. She kept a boarding house at first in Gold Hill, but became the owner of twenty feet in one of the Gold Hill mines; the Alta, I believe. "Sandy" Bowers, an illiterate and uncouth man in many ways, a rough miner, also owned twenty feet of the Gold Hill ground. He boarded at the house of this woman and soon made her acquaintance; they were each re- ceiving large dividends from their interests; at last they were married and their united ground, when sold, made them very rich.

Mrs. Bowers claimed to possess the second sight, and I guess she did, for she told people many things which seemed to have no more substance than a vagrant dream, but, as a rule, they came true. She was called "the Washoe seeress," and some of the strongest men on the Comstock were wont to consult her. She knew Judge and Mrs. Baldwin well, as she did almost everyone else in western Nevada.

76 HISTORICAL

One day in 1877, I think, she met R. M. Daggett on the street and Daggett accosted her in his cheery way, with: "What's the news, Mrs. Bowers?"

She replied: "I have something very strange to tell you, Mr. Daggett. I was alone riding in my buggy down in the valley last night, when suddenly Sandy (Baldwin) sat on the seat beside me. I hate to have him come, for he is always jollying me the same as he used to when in the old days I met him here in Virginia City.

"But last night there was an exultant, joyous look on his face — a kind of glory — and he held up before me a pair of white gloves — you never saw anything of such celestial whiteness as were those gloves, and he whis- pered: 'Alice will be a bride again tonight.' Have you heard any news from San Francisco this morning?"

Daggett replied that he had not, that he had just come down town and was on the way to his office. As he ascended the stairs, he was saying to himself: "The old lady is growing more and more uncanny." He entered his office, hung up his hat and sat down at his desk, when there before him lay a sealed telegraph dispatch. He tore it open and read the follow- ing:

"San Francisco, Cal., .

"Editor Enterprise, Va. City, Nev.

"Mrs. John B. Winter — she who was the late Judge Alexander Baldwin's wife, died in this city at 1:15 o'clock this morning."

All their friends hope that the phantom gloves were drawn in all their whiteness upon her ghostly hands that night and that their second honey- moon is to last through all eternity.

JUDGE R. S. MESICK.

Three score years ago a man who possessed $200,000 was considered very rich. When the Comstock was discovered and it seemed to be pitch- ing to the west, the hillside below the great lode to the east was covered with locations wherever there were croppings of ore. When sud- denly at a depth of about two hundred feet the Comstock was found broken off, and with a little sinking, and drifting to the east found again, pitching to the east, then the question at once arose as to the titles on the surface hillside.

The claim of those on the lode was that with their location they had a right to trace the vein wherever it pitched, west or east. Then there were such pitched legal contests created as had never been known. The fees paid to attorneys were such as had never been paid before, and that naturally drew to the Comstock an array of attorneys more able than had ever been gathered together.

Perhaps General Charles S. Williams was the Nestor of them all. He had been a great lawyer and attorney general in New York. But around him was an assemblage of attorneys, all of whom were great. We may name such men as C. J. Hillier, Thomas Williams, Moses Kirkpatrick, Wm. M. Stewart, Judge Joseph Baldwin, who had made a great reputation in Alabama before he went to California; his son, Judge "Sandy" Baldwin, C. E. DeLong, Horace Smith, Jonas Seeley, Sunderland, Crittenden, Mitchel, Aldrich, Hundley, Judge Cy Wallace, John B. Felton and a score more.

But the first obstacle was the courts. The United States courts were made up as a rule of broken-down politicians, sent west to pay political debts or to get rid of their importunities. They were in a strange field; questions that had never been submtited to courts before were before them.

HISTORICAL 77

In a legal way, as a rule, they were utterly incompetent, and a great many of them were corrupt. The brightest one of them all in a little while got to selling his opinions; and worse still, a little later he got to selling out to both sides, which was a sure sign, under the ruling of Zinc Barnes, that he must be a little crooked, because Zinc's definition of an honest man was "a son-of-a-gun who would stay bought."

The suits were multiplied, the courts were far behind, and it was a pitiable spectacle to see those great attorneys trying to get a little informa- tion through the brains of those incompetent judges. The situation was one of the impelling causes that led to making Nevada a State before it had either a population or developed wealth to entitle it to statehood. But the State was admitted, and R. S. Mesick stooped down to accept a district judgeship that he might help clear the calendars and get the court running on a legitimate basis.

Just as Judge Mesick had finished his regular course in Yale and after- wards at the law department of Yale he joined the Argonauts who went to California. He located in Marysville. In those days Marysville had a won- derful bar. Judge Stephen J. Field, who afterwards sat more than thirty- three years as Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was prac- ticing law there. There were many other great lawyers.

Mesick's legal abilities were acknowledged at once, but in those days he was a little shy, due perhaps to a lingering provincialism which made him rather think that with his accomplishments and his training he had a certain dignity to maintain. In those days he was as good a lawyer as Judge Field and practiced law in Marysville until the Comstock was dis- covered.

When he went upon the bench in Virginia City he was surrounded by more temptations than ever a Judge was before; but he so bore himself in that office that when his short term was out, he had the full respect of all the bar and of all the people. Beyond that it was plain to the bar and to the people that he was about the greatest man that ever gave the best years of his life to the golden coast. He was not only as great a lawyer as Field, but he possessed elements of statesmanship which were denied Justice Field.

In Nevada his exclusiveness wore away. Some people had called that exclusiveness pride, but really it was but a dignity which he held to be due his profession, mixed with a little natural shyness, and while he mel- lowed down, he maintained that dignity to the very end. Through his fric- tion against men on the Comstock, he took on the wisdom to note that all around him in every walk of life, were intellectual giants; that in the orig- inal elements into which society was there resolved, the brightest brain could only aspire to be an equal and not a superior. And he was sur- rounded by brains, some of which were cleavers and battle axes, some Damascus blades, and in the wielding of those weapons they were all trained until they had become real gladiators. There were trials in which a spectator saw only flashings of great lights; there were arguments which Burke would have listened to enchanted; there were bursts of legal elo- quence which would have charmed Clay or Prentiss. It was an arena where giants contested.

In that arena, whether on the bench or at the bar. Judge Mesick was a captain. No subtlety could jostle him into making a weak ruling; no artifice could prepare an argument that he could not seize and puncture if within it there was one weak point or false principle embodied.

But it was not only as a lawyer and jurist that he was great. Had he remained in the east and married some woman great enough and true enough to have held up his strong arms, there could not have been a place

78 HISTORICAL

so high that he might not have justly aspired to attain it. He would have been rated the peer of the very highest; as scholar, lawyer, judge, orator, statesman.

But the customs of the coast had their influence upon him. He was not free from some human weaknesses. Moreover, down deep he was one of the most lovable and genial of men. Despite his reserve he would, could he have had his way, "have lived by the road," where he would have met his fellow-men, met them with their virtues and faults and affiliated with them all.

He was altogether a manly man, even when he gave way to his weak- nesses. The divinity within him shone out always, the same under the light of a tallow dip as under an electric chandelier. He had courage that never failed him, he had integrity and self-respect and respect for his pro- fession that nothing could turn aside.

A very rich man, on one occasion stated to him the points of a case and asked him if he could win it in court. His answer waa.

"I might, but I will not try."

"Why not?" asked the man. "You are not very rich and there are thousands of dollars in this for you if you will undertake it."

"But I will not," said Mesick.

"And why not?" asked the would-be client.

"Because it is a dishonest proposition; because you are hoping through the power of your money to perpetrate a great wrong, to accomplish which you would have to prostitute the profession of the law and disgrace the court. I will not be a party to it."

Then the man flared up and intimated that there was a great difference between his own friendship or enmity. To this Mesick merely pointed to the door and said:

"Get out, and do not stand on the order of your going, but go at once!"

Half an hour later he looked up from his desk and said to his clerk:

"I am mad through and through at myself."

''What for?" asked the clerk.

And he replied: "That I did not kick that scoundrel out of this office and all of the way down the street."

He lived sixteen years in Virginia City, then removed to San Fran- cisco, where he died in 1897 or '98. He died worth only a few thousand dollars, though in a single case — the Fair divorce case — he received a fee of $200,000.

The grievous thing is that such a man was never known outside the few who were close to him, when, had he had a little different nature, had he had more desire for selfish glory, he might have stood with the very highest. Never on this coast, never anywhere, was there a more ciear-cut mind, a more accomplished man in books and in his profession. While he mingled with his fellow-men on terms of equality, he at the same time moved in a sphere of his own. ' He was a glorified scholar until the last. When the world got to be a burden to him, he could go to his library and commune with all of the great souls that had preceded him in this world, only when he read the great thoughts, they always haunted him; a thought of his own way that what he read was not new, that such thoughts had been his familiars all his life.

He should have gone to the Senate from Nevada; he should have gone with Senator Stewart. That body would have recognized in a moment that a master had come, and the brightest of them would have fought shy of an encounter with him.

HISTORICAL 79

He was surrounded by great souls, but his surroundings were never what they should have been. He never could have found any array of in- tellects that he would not have stood a peer among; he never could have found a class of men that could have been his schoolmasters. His brain was acute; it either held all the knowledge in the world, or an open door to all the knowledge in the world; and if his thoughts had been directed away from the fierce encounters which were met on the Comstock and led up into the heights of literature or of statesmanship, he would have been at home.

He died of bronchitis, and shortly before his death, when a friend bend- ing over him sympathized with his great sufferings, and after the medical men around him had tried every way to soothe his pain, his friend spoke to him of his approaching death. And he answered, with a faint smile on his lips:

"Death will be a cure for the sufferings I am bearing now."

We hope that rest has come to him and that in the sphere where his soul has found an abiding place, there will be congenial spirits enough of the very highest, to take away from him all regret that he was called soy soon from the earth.

COL. ADRIAN C. ELLIS.

Col. A. C. Ellis, the son of Dr. Robert Binns Ellis, was born July 12, 1840, in Richmond, Ray County, Missouri. Died March 19, 1912, in Salt Lake City. He was a member of the law firm of Dickson, Ellis, Ellis & Schulder. The death of a man like Col. A. C. Ellis is a great loss in any community. He represented the very best that is in poor human nature. He was of the very highest type of American citizenship.

He was university trained at a time when the higher educational insti- tutions still cling to the severe classical standard and the student went forth prepared at a glance to run a word back to its original root, and at the same time from his training to judge intuitively all that was loftiest in language.

After graduating from University of Missouri he went to the Univer- sity of Louisville, Law Department. In those days the training there was not only a grounding in the science of the law, but it extended to the law's application to the infinite forms of business, and to the rights of man and the obligations and powers and prerogatives of governments.

This training was manifest in Col. Ellis every day of his life.

True, he joined in a rebellion to rend the Union in twain, but behind him was the furious public opinion of all his friends and relatives, the train- ing of a lifetime — the uprising of millions, half of his countrymen, all his personal friends. In 1861 he enlisted in a regiment of Missouri Infantry, under Col. Ben Rives and General Sterling Price.

None of us can tell what we would have done under the same impelling causes, and the sincerity of his convictions was made clear by the fact that he went out and offered his life for them, and fought until the cause was lost in his State and he was a prisoner.

When parolled, he turned his face towards the West and settled in Carson City, Nevada, and began the practice of law. From the first day he appeared in court, those who heard him — and they were shrewd judges — realized that a masterful scholar and profound lawyer had appeared among them. He was never discomfited in court. The law of any case was clear to him at a glance, and his presentation of a case was most beautiful. There was no guess work. It was the application of an exact science to a prob

80 HISTORICAL

lem, and there was never any faltering, in presenting in language every word of which was the right word to give to his argument light and power and charm.

From the first day, too, it was clear that the sorrows and disappoint- ments he had suffered were never to be given further expression in his life. Never had a sectional word, never any repinings over lost hopes, but the building up of a high name. He succeeded, too. He built up a splendid practice at a bar where some of the most royal minds on the coast were daily competitors; o^er and over the political party to which he belonged tried with passionate earnestness to heap all the honors in their gift upon him.

And he repaid them. He more than once canvassed the State, and the speeches he delivered were as sharp and incisive as were ever delivered in that State, and at the same time there was a tone accompanying them which even now lingers in the memories of the men who listened to them with a refrain like that of a stately anthem.

When the great bonanza went into borasco, Col. Ellis moved to San Francisco and there for twelve years maintained his place in the forefront of the foremost lawyers of the coast. In 1895 moved to Salt Lake City. Here he has left to his stalwart partners the active work of the firm, but to the last his brain was clear; his nature genial and high as ever; and the comfort left the loved ones is that as husband, father and citizen his life was rounded full, and he has gone to his final rest with every duty fulfilled, and with a long life's work fully completed.

Col. Ellis was married in 1860 to Lucie Reeves Cobb. A. C. Ellis Jr., Henry R. Ellis, Dr. L. R. Ellis, and Carrie A. Ellis are the four living children.

HON. WARNER EARLL.

A member of the bar of Nevada during the years 1875 and 1876. Died on the 10th day of January, A. D. 1888, at San Luis Obispo, California.

Although his term of judicial service was brief, and the number of opin- ions written by him limited, he remained long enough and wrote enough to impress the judiciary and the bar of this State very favorably, both as to his legal training and judicial ability, as well as to his high personal and moral integrity, and secured for himself a permanent abiding place in the regard and esteem of his associates.

He was simple in his tastes, quiet and unassuming in his demeanor. His character as a man and as a judge was above reproach. He was abso- lutely free from any pretension of superiority over his fellowmen, and was ever ready to consult with his associates and to discuss, with great candor and fairness, all questions upon which any difference of opinion might be expressed. He readily grasped the main points of a case and his general knowledge of the principles of the law enabled him to give a clear, com- prehensive, and convincing statement of the controlling questions which, in his judgment, ought to govern the decision in the case at hand.

Without any pride of opinion his desire was to reach a conclusion founded upon the settled principles of the law, and based upon the equity and justice of the particular case. When convinced of the correctness of his position he was positive and unchangeable.

He was a close, laborious, and earnest student, and his work was al- ways carefully, deliberately, patiently, and well done, with nothing slighted or neglected. He was an honest, conscientious pure, and able judge in

HIS TORICAL

81

whose judgment lawyers and litigants could safely rely for a fair and im- partial determination of their rights.

Whether as an attorney, judge or citizen he conscientiously sought to do that which he believed to be right, and around his memory there will ever remain, to those who knew him well, a fame that no amount of financial success, so eagerly sought by most men, can give. He lived beyond the "three-score years and ten" in the possession of all his faculties, and went quietly to sleep while engaged in the daily routine of his professional duties. He has crossed the dark and unknown river and his quiet, mild and gentle spirit is at rest in a land where the cares and troubles that constantly dis- turb the living are unknown.

JUDGE W. H. A. PIKE.

Judge W. H. A. Pike was one of the pioneer residents of Nevada and took quite a prominent part in the building up of Washoe and Churchill Counties in this State. He has served his State in the Legislature, as a prosecuting attorney, and on the bench, and was called by death while acting as one of the Judges of the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada.

Judge Pike was born in Cornish, Maine, on the 24th day of January, 1854, and was educated in the Oxford Military Academy of Maine and

Bowdoin College, Maine. He was a descendant of John Pike, one of the Puritans who colonized New England, and members of his fam- ily took an active part in the col- onial history of this country.

In the spring of 1874 Judge Pike came to Nevada and taught school at Washoe city, the old county seat of Washoe County, and during said time continued his law studies in the office of Hon. Robert M. Clark of Carson City. He later went to Churchill County, where he established the Churchill County Educational Institute, of which he was principal for several years.

While a resident of Churchill County he engaged in the stock business, and was honored by his fellow citizens by his election to twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth sessions of the Nevada Legislature as an Assemblyman. In 1889 he again took up his residence in Washoe County, and in 1892 was elected from Washoe County to represent that county in the sixteenth session of the Nevada Assembly. He was one of the prominent Democratic political leaders of the State, and in the sixteenth session was the speaker pro tern of the House, and in recognition of his services in that capacity was presented with a valuable gold chain and charm by the Legislature.

In 1900 he was chosen as District Attorney of Washoe County, and was re-elected to that position in 1902 without opposition.

He practiced law with Hon. W. D. Jones of Reno during 1905 and 1906, and in the latter year was elected Judge of the Second Judicial Court of Nevada, in and for the County of Washoe.

HIS TORICAL

He decided many intricate and prominent cases during his incumbency on the bench, and was serving as one of the Judges of that district when death called him. His death was one of the saddest recorded in this State. He had been holding court all day and was in the best of health, and had on the adjournment of court visited his ranch in Churchill County. On his return he ate a hearty dinner and retired, and in a few minutes called the clerk and said that he was ill. Within ten minutes of that time he expired. Heart disease was the cause of his demise.

He was survived by his widow, and seven children, Mrs. Kistler, wife of Dr. W. L. Kistler of Sparks; Mrs. J. N. McLaughlin of Pocatello, Idaho; Mrs. Randall Layman of Tonopah, Nevada; Le Roy F. Pike, an attorney of Reno; W. H. A. Pike, Jr., a Midshipman in the U. S. Naval Academy, Anna- polis, Md; Miles, N. O. Pike, and Helen Pike, now in the Reno public schools.

He was married in 1878 to Miss Ida M. Kenyon, daughter of A. L. Kenyon, one of the pioneers of Churchill County, having settled in that county of Nevada in 1854, and established the town known as Ragtown.

HON. W. J. HENLEY.

Resided in Hawthorne, Esmeralda County, Nevada. Has been promi- nent in public affairs, serving formerly as a member of the State Legislature and also as County Clerk of that county. He thoroughly informed himself concerning the principles of jurisprudence, which he applied with accuracy to the points in litigation, so that his work at the bar has been attended with excellent success. He was one of Pennsylvania's native sons, his birth having occurred in the Keystone State on the 8th of November, 1861. He

went with his mother and her chil- dren to California in 1866 by way of the isthmus route, his father having previously died in St. Louis. Missouri. The widow and her chil- dren settled in Reno, Nevada, in 1877, and there Mr. Henley secured a clerkship in a dry goods store, at first receiving forty dollars per month, but later was paid a salary of seventy-five dollars per month, having demonstrated his ability in business circles.

In 1886 Mr. Henley arrived in Esmeralda County, where he worked at whatever he could get to do until elected to the position of County Clerk in the year 1887. In 1899 he was elected to the State Legislature. While serving as County Clerk he read law and was admitted to the bar, and since that time has received his full share of the law practice in this portion of the State. He presented his cases with great fairness and precision, and presented his arguments so as to make a strong impression on court and jury. His deductions followed in logical sequence, and he was a cogent, forceful reasoner.

In 1887 occurred the marriage of Mr. Henley and Miss Katie Rosenthal, a native of California, born in Mariposa County, and a daughter of Davis

HISTORICAL 83

Rosenthal, who was one of the prominent early settlers of Hawthorne. Six children have been born of this union: Esther, Benjamin, Lloyd, Willie, Dave and Clarabelle. The family have a good home in Hawthorne, which is a center of cultured society circle, its hospitality being enjoyed by the leading people of the community. Mr. Henley was a Democrat in his political views, and made an excellent record as a public official. Fraternally he was connected with the Knights of Pythias, in which he served as keeper ofl the records and seals. His analytical mind and close application to his work had gained him a very desirable reputation as a member of the legal profession.

During the years from 1904 to 1906, W. J. Henley was the deputy Dis- trict Attorney of Esmeralda County. Acting under J. F. Davidson, District Attorney, and later under A. H. Swallow.

About May, 1907, he took up his residence in Goldfield, Nevada, where he died on July 12, 1909. During the boom days of Goldfield, Nevada, Mr. Henley was appointed Justice of the Peace, filling a vacancy in the office, and was later elected to that office, which he occupied when his death oc- curred. At the time he presided over the Justice's Court, that tribunal was the scene of many hard fought legal battles. Some of the highest reputed attorneys in the United States appearing before the bar of justice. During his incumbency Mr. Henley acquired much renown as a jurist. The con- duct of his court and the weight of his decisions were considered by all who knew them to be worthy of a far higher court.

BENCH AND BAR OF CALIFORNIA

ANTON MORGENTHAL.

Anton Morgenthal, who was born in Sax- ony, Prussia, in 1850, came to the United States in 1871 and to California in 1879. He was educated at Hamburg, Germany, St. Louis, Missouri, and the Hastings Law Col- lege, San Francisco. After completing his law course he was admitted by the Supreme Court. His professional career was one of great activity from the start. He had a large library and maintained excellent offices in the Flood Building. He was a man of quiet habits and sincere nature. He was a member of several clubs, and Amer- ican Legion of Honor.

HENRY E. HIGHTON.

Henry E. Highton was one of the re- markable lawyers of San Francisco for a long period of years, during which he was engaged in some of the most important cases ever tried in California. Mr. Highton was born in England, but he became one of the pioneer lawyers of San Francisco, using the word as applying to those of the early fifties as well as to the '49ers. He was born in Liverpool, England, in 1836, and much of his early training was obtained in that country and city.

He began his legal studies under his father, an eminent man. The foundation was well laid, thoroughness being the prime essential. Although the elder Highton was never a lawyer, yet he was a man of vast experience and broad education, so he saw that the training was perfect. Father and son settled in Wisconsin when the boy was ten years of age, but the two came west in 1849, where the young man followed mining for six years. His experiences in the mines proved of inestimable value to him in later years in many suits involving definite knowledge of mines. He located in San Francisco in 1856, being then only twenty-one years old. He served as a newspaper reporter for a time, under Frank Soule. Later he devoted himself to the study of the law and was admitted to the bar in 1860. He was associated for a time with Oscar L. Shafter, after which he went

to Sonoma for a time. He soon returned to San Francisco and was successful dur- ing a long career. He was not a specialist, but a successful lawyer in all-round lines, even in criminal law. He preferred intri- cate commercial cases and once kept books for three years in order to learn the in- tricacies of the business world. Delos Lake once said that a legal opinion bearing Highton's name had as much weight with him as a closely reasoned opinion of the Supreme Court. He often wrote briefs for other lawyers. It was he who successfully defended Isaac M. Kalloch, who killed Chas. De Young. He also successfully defended A. B. Spreckels, who shot and wounded M. H. De Young, of the "Chronicle." He was also successful in winning a great case wherein a man of the name Hayes had been arrested for assaulting Dennis Kearney, the noted sandlotter. His argument in the case was ingenious and attracted world-wide at- tention. He was engaged in scores of the most important civil trials during his time — the Blythe case, and many other will con- tests and business suits.

ANNIS MERRILL.

Annis Merrill was one of the patriarchs of the California bar, although he was ev- cessively modest when it came to assuming any such distinction. He was born on Sep- tember 9, 1810, and was hale and hearty, with much keen appreciation of the world and its affairs, at the age of ninety, which was in 1900, although he lived for several years after that date. It seems odd to write that he had almost retired from business in 1866, although he often took a sort of active interest in cases with the Honorable Eugene Casserly and others at that time. His career was in many ways remarkable. From 1836 till 1842 he was a professor of Latin and Greek in an Illinois College. He came to San Francisco in 1849 and used to say he earned and ob- tained $20,000 that very year. He was a friend and adviser of the famous Wil- liam Sharon, whom he declared was always a misunderstood man, honest, and the foe of all sorts of hypocrisy. Sharon once had

desk-room in Mr. Merrill's law office. Mr. Merrill was noted for clear reasoning and hard analytical work in a case. He was es- sentially a principle lawyer of the Daniel Webster class, having less respect than most of his brethren for the doctrine of stare decisis. He believed in thorough prepara- tion and in integrity, which latter attribute he held essential to any real success at the bar. In his life and character he was an example of an able and honest man who ever held the- profession in high regard.

CHARLES N. FOX.

Honorable Charles Nelson Fox, who was a Justice of the Supreme Court of California in 1889-90, was born in Michigan in March, 1829. His parents were poor and he had to work hard and study after his labors in order to get his first ideas of the rudiments of education. He had to walk two or three miles to the little schoolhouse where he first studied. He divided his time between school life and farm work until he was fifteen years of age, as was common in his age and locality. He went to Ann Arbor University at an early age, determined to struggle hard to work his way through the institution. The only course opened to him was a classical one. He pursued it for two years, became ill, and abandoned it. He then went into a printing office, learned the trade, and finally became a country editor. General Lewis Cass took an interest in him, and through his advice young Fox became a public speaker for the Democratic party. This was in 1848. At the age of twenty-one he was made Chief Deputy in the office of Eecorder of Deeds at Ann Arbor. He was later elected City Kecorder and served as ex-officio Mayor for a short time. Later he began the study of law, being employed for a time by the Bradstreet Commercial Agency. He was admitted to the bar in 1856. In 1857 he followed his family to California and settled near San Mateo. He soon became attorney for the San Francisco and San Jose Eailroad Company. He was also retained for .the people 'against the Spring Valley Water Company in its fight to get a foothold in San Mateo County. Later he gave consider- able attention to criminal law. He was one time district attorney of the county. He declined to be a judge of tho old district court. He was a member of the legislature during the first session after the adoption of the new constitution, and was a member of the Judiciary Committee of that body, and of this he was chairman. It was a hard job and he devoted much time to it. Every measure that he declared unconstitutional was afterward declared to be so. His work on the Supreme bench during his brief ap- pointive term was characterized by tireless work. For twenty-five years before he became

a justice he held his office in San Francisco. He was regarded as the ablest constitutional lawyer on the bench and in the state because of his unerring foresight. He seemed to know just how courts would rule.

MILTON A. WHEATON.

Milton A. Wheaton, who was famous as a patent attorney for more than a third of a century, where he made a record in San Francisco, was born in New York, in 1830. He received his education in his- native county and at Hamilton College, graduating in 1851. He lost his father when he was less than eight years of age. He left college in order to accompany an uncle to California, arriv- ing in San Francisco, by way of Panama, in 1853. He began his career as a wood- chopper for a steam mill. He teamed, freighted, and did all sorts of odd jobs until the fall of 1855, when he began the study of the law in earnest, at Sacramento, in the office of Carter & Hartley. He began the practice of his profession at Suisun, in 1857. He remained there and handled a general business — largely land titles, however — for eight years. His fame as a land lawyer was very great, but he abandoned that for patent law, having a mechanical turn of mind. In fact, he himself patented a can- heading machine, from which he realized $20,000. He began his career in San Fran- cisco in 1865. Almost at once he devoted himself to patent law practice. He won early fame in that line of cases and, in the busiest days of his career, was often called into cases over all the United States. His famous Spaulding Saw Cases were for a time the most remarkable in the courts, and he won against some of the ablest men in the country — men like Hall McAllister. In some of the greatest patent suits of his day he won victories alone, over strong competitors. In his later years he was in partnership with I. M. Kalloch, son of Isaac S. Kalloch, once mayor of San Francisco.

JAMES T. BOYD.

James T. Boyd, who was prominent as a leading lawyer of San Francisco for more than fifty years, was born in New York City in November, 1825. After studying his pro- fession in the east for a few years he came to California in 1851 and was admitted to the bar soon thereafter. He joined the old firm of Janes & Noyes, of San Francisco, making titles to real property his specialty. In 1854 the firm of Janes, Noyes, Barber & Boyd was formed, followed by Janes, Lake & Boyd, then by Boyd & Morrison, and later by Crane & Boyd. Then there came Mc- Cullough & Boyd, then Cope & Boyd, Fifield being added later. Mr. Boyd, like his friend

OBITUARY

Reuben H. Lloyd, never married. He ac- quired a comfortable fortune in real estate litigation, probate matters, and kindred lines. He was regarded as a master in his day.

WILLIAM H. FIFIELD.

William H. Fifield, who was for many years associated with the best lawyers in San Francisco, was born in Jackson County, Michigan, in 1843. He was graduated from Ann Arbor in 1865, after which he followed his profession at Jackson, Michigan, where he studied and practiced in a small way with Honorable Austin Blair, war governor of the state. He attended the Ann Arbor Law School after this experience. He came to California over the Isthmus, in 1868, opened a law office in San Francisco that autumn, and followed his profession until he died. He was president of the San Fran- cisco Bar Association in 1898 and 1899.

JAMES WILLIAM TAGGART.

Born February 24, 1859, in Parkersburg, Virginia. Son of George W. and Eliza (Hines) Taggart. Married June 15, 1887, to Katherine E. Payne. Educated in the public schools of Virginia and West Virginia College. Moved to California 1881 and was admitted to the bar of this state in 1885. He was for several years Judge of the Su- perior Court of Santa Barbara. At the time of his death in July, 1910, he was Associate Justice of the District Court of Appeals for the Second District of California. He was prominent in lodge affairs, being a mem- ber of the Masonic order, Knights of Pythias, and B. P. O. E. He was for some time in- structor and lecturer in the College of Law of the University of Southern California.

DAVID PATTERSON HATCH.

Born November 22, 1846, in Dresden, Maine. Son of Eben and Margaret F. (Patterson) Hatch. Married in 1874 to Ida Stilphin. Graduated from Maine Wesleyan Seminary and Female College in 1871; University of Michigan Law School in 1871-72. Admitted to the bar of Minnesota in 1872, and prac- ticed in that state until he moved to Cali- fornia in 1875. Elected District Attorney of Otter Tail County, Minnesota, in 1874. Ap- pointed Judge of Santa Barbara County, California, in 1880 and re-elected to that office in 1884 and again in 1886. During the latter term he resigned and moved to Los Angeles to engage in the general practice of his profession. At the time of his death in February, 1912, he was in partnership with W. E. Lloyd and F. L. Hunt. He was the author of "Scientific Occultism," a text-book of the Christian Hermic philosophers, "The Blood of the Gods," a book on temperance,

and several others. His writing displayed broad learning, diligence in the accumulation of material, and skill in construction and arrangement. As a judge he was character- ized by an earnest desire to render justice, and by reason of ability and integrity, he commanded the respect and admiration of the community.

PERCY RIPLEY WILSON.

Born February 20, 1854, in Athens, Ohio. Son of Horace and Caroline A. (Hunt) Wil- son. Married in March, 1880, to Emily Alice Sandes. He was a graduate of Michigan University, and attended University of Leip- sic (Germany), 1877-79. Admitted to bar of Ohio in 1875 and California in 1884. Moved

to California in 1882. From 1886 to 1900 he was in partnership with Robert X. Bulla. From 1900 to the time of his death, on De- cember 30, 1909, he practiced alone. En- dowed with mental faculties of unusual grasp and acuteness, strong power of analysis and clearness of conception, he- was fit to cope with the most complicated legal prob- lems. Although his powers were great and his prospects of distinction bright, he will be best remembered for those qualities of the heart which endeared him to his friends. Association with him was a privilege, which inspired the mind, cheered and gladdened the heart.

FRANK GARRETT.

Born September 14, 1869, in Leavenworth, Kansas. Son of Robert and Mary Ellen (Cobb) Garrett. Married November 16, 1899, to Sara G. Dickenson. Graduated from Hamilton College in 1892 with degree of A.B., and received his law degree from University

Haas, under the firm name of Haas & Garrett, for a number of years, and at the time of his death, which occurred April 23, 1911, he was a member of the firm of Haas, Garrett & Dunnigan. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and an active member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association.

EDGAR EUGENE SELPH.

Born December 3, 1860, in Salem, Oregon. Son of William and Julia Cynthia (Chitwood) Selph. Married October 31, 1886, to Lulu B. Gwinn. Educated in the public schools of Oregon. Attended McMinnville College from 1880 to 1885. Admitted to the bar of Oregon in 1890 and California in 1897. Moved to California in 1896 and engaged in the gen- eral practice of law in Los Angeles, specializ- ing in mining law. Deputy Attorney-General from 1906 to 1907. This office he resigned in the latter year to accept the office of Justice of Peace, which position he held up to the time of his death on February 10, 1909. Mr. Selph was a prominent member of the Masonic order and took an active part in all civic affairs. He was one of the organ- izers of the Los Angeles Temple Baptist Church.

PHILIP G. GALPIN.

Mr. Galpin was born in Buffalo, New York, February 3, 1830. At the age of five years Philip changed his name, on his own motion, from Philip Galpin Gleason to Philip Gleason Galpin; and from that time on resided with his uncle and was brought up by him as his son. Mr. Galpin graduated from Yale in the class of 1849, entered Yale Law School, studied in the office of Charles E. Ingersoll and that of Henry B. Harrison, afterward Governor of Connecticut, and was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of that state in 1852. He removed to Ohio and began practice at Findley. Two years after, on a visit to New York, he was offered a part- nership by Eobert G. Pike, which he accepted, and remained in practice for some years in the firm of Pike & Galpin in Wall Street. He came to California on business of that firm in 1857, and remained here for two years to argue a case on behalf of the heirs of Franklin C. Gray, on appeal to the Su- preme Court, known as Gray v. Palmer in the Ninth District of California. Winning this, he returned to his partner in New York. He again temporarily returned here in 1861. In 1865 Mr. Galpin again reappeared temporarily in California, being still engaged in practice in New York, and brought several suits for the heirs of John Hall of Philadelphia, who

claimed large tracts of San Francisco. In 1868 Mr. Galpin traveled in Europe, and then resumed practice in Wall Street. In the year 1875 he came to California to remain, having on previous occasions continued his residence and business in New York. Since 1875 he has tried numerous cases, some of which will be found in almost every volume of the Supreme Court Reports of this state. After a residence here of one year, his first partnership was formed with John B. Har- mon. This lasted until 1881, when the strong, leading combination was begun by John T. Doyle, William Barber, Mr. Galpin and H. D. Scripture, under the style of Doyle, Bar- ber, Galpin & Scripture.

CREED RAYMOND.

Mr. Haymond was born in Beverly, Ran- dolph County, Virginia (now West Virginia), April 22, 1836. He came to California in 1852. Soon after arriving in this state, in 1852, being possessed of some means, he en- gaged in mining, packing, merchandising and ditching, on a large scale, in the northern part of Sierra County. For a year and a half he carried Wells, Fargo & Co.'s mails. He con- tinued in business until 1859, when he entered into the study and practice of the law with Honorable James A. Johnson, afterward Lieu- tenant-Governor of this state, and Judge Alexander W. Baldwin, afterward United States District Judge of Nevada. In the legal profession his upward flight was re- markable, carrying him to the highest point then achievable within the first year of his new life. The position thus early gained he nev.er lost. His reputation widened as time passed by, until it became more than na- tional. His later arguments, especially, deal- ing as most of them did with the broadest questions of constitutional law, engaged the study of lawyers and statesmen in every part of the world.

Mr. Haymond was for a long time Colonel of the First Artillery Regiment, National Guard of California. He was Captain of the Sierra Grays, a Sierra County militia com- pany, and took his command into service in the spring of 1860, under Colonel Jack Hays, against the Indians of Nevada, after the Pyramid Lake massacre. In this cam- paign against the Indians, Captain Haymond was lightly wounded. Two severe battles were fought; one on the Truckee, and the other on the Carson, below Wadsworth. This broke the power of Chief Winnemucca.

Mr. Haymond was appointed tide land com- missioner by Governor Haight, to settle ques- tions as to the tide lands of San Francisco, but did not serve, and L. L. Bullock was ap- pointed in his stead. He served two sessions in the state Senate, being elected in 1875 from Sacramento County. In that body he

196

OBITUARY

achieved distinction as a speaker and worker. He declined a renomination, after serving four years.

In 1880 Mr. Raymond was sent to the Re- publican National Convention, which nomi- nated Garfield.

In 1881 began a new phase of Mr. Ray- mond's professional career. In that year the Central Pacific Railroad Company tendered him the position of associate solicitor of that company.

The name of Haymond will always be linked to that of the Leland Stanford Jr. University. He, with Governor Stanford, drew the act and formulated the provisions under which this university was to be founded and perpetuated, and to him was assigned the preparation of the Articles of Endow- ment signed by Leland Stanford and his wife, whereby their immense fortune was bequeathed to the cause of education.

THOMAS JEFFERSON CAPPS.

Born in 1872 in Huntsville, Alabama. Was graduated from the University of Tennessee, receiving the degree of A. B.; later the de- gree of A. M. He taught mathematics for some time at the University of Tennessee, and later became president of that institution, resigning at the outbreak of the Civil War. He was Colonel of the 8th Tennessee Cavalry, and served to the end of the war, during which time he was shot through the shoulder and had his left arm broken by a shell. At the close of the war he commenced the prac- tice of law in Selby County, Illinois. For fourteen years was United States Commis- sioner for the Southern District of Illinois. In 1879 he moved to Golden, Colorado, where he remained until 1884, when he moved to California. In 1886 he settled in San Diego, where he continued until the time of his death. He was a man of sterling integrity, generous- and had a host of friends. He was a staunch Lincoln Republican.

JOHN S. CHAPMAN.

In the summer of 1908, the bar of Los Angeles lost its leader. Pre-eminently the chief of the bar of Southern California, many considered John S. Chapman the foremost lawyer of the Pacific Coast.

Appearing in the courts of San Francisco and in courts of states other than his own, and before the Supreme Court of the United States, his reputation was more than local.

He was born at Batesville, Arkansas, March 6, 1842. His early education was received at private schools of his native town. He studied law alone, without assistance or in- struction, while acting as Deputy Sheriff of Lassen County.

He came to California in 1859. He served for a time as Deputy Sheriff of Lassen County,

was Judge of the County Court of that county from 1870 to 1872, was admitted to practice in the District Court in 1872 and in the Supreme Court in 1876.

He removed to Los Angeles in 1878, where he practiced law until the time of his death.

His mental equipment contained every faculty essential to professional success.

Thoroughly grounded in principles, he was equally well versed in precedents. He was

not a "case lawyer." Every question pre- sented to him was first considered, and the results of his studies classified, according to general rules, and his opinion or argument illustrated and fortified by citation of de- cided cases. Blessed with a memory of re- markable retentiveness, he had at command an apparently exhanstless supply of princi- ples and precedents.

The facts of his cases were thoroughly un- derstood, carefully analyzed, grouped in logical order. His arguments were simple and direct. Never losing sight of the ques- tion under discussion, never straying from the path, nor led astray by minor questions, he proceeded directly to his point. Each proposition was developed, and its relation to the main question made to appear.

Opponents' arguments were met fairly and without evasion. His characteristic method was the employment of sledge-hammer blows which demolished opposition. But at times he found the joints of an adversary's armor with rapier thrusts of sarcasm and wit.

He seldom indulged in "fine writing," his style being simple and idiomatic, often sug- gesting the opinions of the older English judges and chancellors. Occasional passages, not intended for effect, but employed as 'the appropriate vehicles of his thought, dis-

played an English style formed by a critical knowledge of the classics.

Although at his best when arguing ques- tions of law, he was almost equally powerful before juries. Not claiming the oratorical graces which are supposed to be most ef- fective with jurors, he impressed them by his sound common sense, power of reasoning, and force of character.

A careful, conservative counselor, a skill- ful draughtsman of business papers, his work as an "office lawyer" was of the same high character as his forensic achievements.

Every matter presented, whether involving litigation or not, received the most careful thought.

In the examination of witnesses he was skillful, his questions being adapted to elicit- ing the information desired, and not compli- cated or confusing.

In cross-examination he was fair, not in- dulging in "bullying" tactics, nor asking un- necessary questions for the mere sake of con- fusing a witness.

His objections to questions were stated with clearness and precision. He did not make numerous objections, and his objections were made upon what he considered valid grounds, and not for the purpose of embar- rassing opponent or . witness, or confusing court or jury.

CHARLES A. TUTTLE.

Charles A. Tuttle was born in Genessee County, New York, November 10, 1818. He attended Hobart College at Geneva, belonging to the class of 1844. He moved to Milwaukee,

Wisconsin, in 1845, and was admitted to the bar in that year, and practiced his profes- sion there until early in 1849. In the same

year he left Milwaukee with a party of five, and arrived in Placer County, California, in October, 1849. Mr. Tuttle engaged in min- ing on the American River, and after about a year, returned to Milwaukee, and in 1851 came back to California with Mrs. Tuttle. After making an unsuccessful attempt at merchandising, he opened a law office at Michigan Bluff, in 1853. Leland Stanford was the Justice of the Peace of that place at that time. In 1856 Mr. Tuttle moved to Auburn, the county seat.

In 1853 he was elected a member of the state Senate, and represented Placer County during the first memorable Gwin-Broderick contest. He became a Republican almost at the organization of the party. He was chair- man of the Republican state convention held in 1859, and was an elector on the Republican ticket for 1860, and as such stumped the state.

In 1863 he was appointed Reporter of the Supreme Court, and held this office until 1867.

He was afterward appointed as one of the commissioners on the revision of the codes, in company with Sidney L. Johnson. He de- clined an appointment to the bench, and also as a regent of the University of California. In 1867 he was elected a member of the Assembly, and served in the session of 1867- 68. In 1871 he was reappointed as Reporter of the Supreme Court. Mr. Tuttle's industri- ous life ended in 1888 at Auburn. His name is indissolubly connected with the history of the state. He was a man of the strictest in- tegrity and absolutely fearless in the defense of what he believed to be right.

He was not an eloquent talker, but was possessed of a wonderful reasoning faculty. He was always interesting because of his earnestness and sincerity. His logic was of the very best. He was a student, and had the faculty of communicating to others the results of his researches. He was particularly kind and encouraging to young practitioners, and there are many able lawyers who will always have a kindly remembrance of Charles A. Tuttle.

the Corean government secured his services as foreign adviser. He achieved a high repu- tation for wisdom in council during the troubles that afterward afflicted that country. Eev. George Heber Jones, a missionary in Corea, said in an interview with the San Francisco "Call" of March 31, 1897, that Gen- eral Greathouse had been instrumental in in- troducing judicial reforms in that country which put an end to a long era of corruption and cruelty.

years of his life in acquiring a splendid home education and the instruction which could be obtained from the foremost private schools. He entered Lafayette College, Eas- ton, Pennsylvania, in 1856, graduating with the degree of A.B. in 1860.

At the outbreak of the Civil War he was professor of Latin, English and mathematics at Lafayette College. He left his faculty chair and helped to organize a company of lancers. This type of mounted force was found unavailable and the lancers were soon merged into the Fourth New York heavy artillery.

At the beginning of the Civil War he en- listed as a private soldier in the Fifteenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and took part in many battles and campaigns during the war, took part in the final grand review at Wash- ington, and by frequent promotions attained the official rank of colonel.

Scrupulously conscientious and patriotic, he was held in high estimation by lawyers, suit- ors, clients and people generally.

WALTER J. TRASK.

Walter J. Trask, the son of Kiah B. and Mary Jane (Dunton) Trask, was born in South Jefferson, Maine, on July 6, 1862. He received his education at Nichols Latin School, Lewiston, Maine, and at the Water- ville, Maine, Classical Institute. He was, in 1886, admitted to the bar in St. Paul, Min- nesota, and in 1890 moved to Los Angeles, California, where in 1893 he associated him- self with Honorable John D. Bicknell until 1897, when the firm of Bicknell, Gibson & Trask was formed, which latter firm was af- terward, in 1903, merged with that of Dunn and Crutcher, under the firm name of Bick- nell, Gibson, Trask, Dunn & Crutcher, which, on the retirement of Judge Bicknell, contin- ued under the firm name of Gibson, Trask, Dunn & Crutcher. Mr. Trask died at his res- idence, 1321 South Figueroa Street, Los An- geles, on the ninth day of May, 1911.

He was twice married, and left surviving him his widow, Victoria H. Trask, and an only child, Caroline B. Trask, the issue of his first, marriage. He was independent in poli- tics and never sought or held any public office. He left, as one of the best monuments to his memory, the reputation of being an able and conscientious lawyer.

Judge C. E. McLaughlin paid the following tribute to Mr. Trask:

"It has been charged against our profes- sion that mental training and habits indulged make cold the heart and dulls our sympa- thies. We who are brought in contact with many lawyers know that this charge is as un- founded as it is uncharitable; that lawyers, as a rule, are generous, whole-souled men whose human impulses are quickened rather than stifled as we read the pages of human life with all of human weaknesses exposed in daily routine of professional work.

"It is therefore fitting that this body turn for the moment from prosaic labor, to indulge in sentiment and voice regret that the voice of one pre-eminent and loved will ne'er again be heard. The passing of Walter J. Trask deserves a tribute from heart and voice and pen of those who knew his sterling worth and loved him for his admirable traits of character.

"When I first met Walter Trask at one of the Los Angeles clubs my mental comment when the parting moment came was, 'A splen- did gentleman!' Later, when we met in the forum and in a business way, that comment

202

OBITUARY

was, 'A splendid lawyer!' Anon, discussing economic problems involving weal of those whose bread is moistened by the sweat of toil, my comment was, 'A great and generous heart!'

"When I heard of his death I seemed to feel there was a hush in the courtrooms of California; that tears were falling and broken voices were lamenting the departure of a giant from the bar.

"Before that Great Tribunal where the Master sits in judgment, His Son, the advo- cate for all mankind, our friend has made appearance, and we feel and know has heard the words, 'Well done,' fall from the Master's lips, the final judgment upon his life, his work, his future. When death laid his icy finger upon the brow of Walter Trask, the light of a great intellect went out, and a great soul went on its way to solve the prob- lems of eternity. That icy touch ne'er chilled more manly heart, nor closed more kindly eye."

WILLIAM E. PARKER.

Born in Columbus, Indiana, November 26, 1872. Son of Alexander and Mary (Polk) Parker. Early education received in the pub- lic schools of his native city and Orange, California, to which place his parents moved in 1883. Later he attended Occidental Col- lege, from which he graduated in 1895 with degree of A.B. After a course in the Univer- sity of Michigan, 1897 and 1898, he read law in the office of E. E. Keech, Santa Ana, Cal- ifornia, until his admission to the bar of California by the Supreme Court in 1899. From that time until 1901 he was a member of the firm of Keech & Parker, at Santa Ana. From 1901 to 1903 he was associated with the firm of Bicknell, Gibson & Trask, in Los An- geles, and from 1903 to 1906 he was associ- ated with Eugene S. Ives, with offices in Tucson, Arizona, receiving a certificate to practice in Arizona during the year 1904. In 1906 he formed a partnership with Adolfo Ybarra, under the firm name of Ybarra & Parker, with offices in Guaymas, Mexico, and Los Angeles, California, specializing in cor- poration, mining and railroad law. In 1907 he was admitted to practice before the courts of Sonora, Mexico. This partnership contin- ued until his death, which was sudden and unexpected, following an operation in a Chi- cago hospital on June 13, 1912.

Mr. Parker had built up an extensive Mex- ican practice during the six years' association with Senor Ybarra. He was known and highly respected throughout the state of So- nora, and had a wide acquaintance in all the principal cities of Mexico. Besides being the attorneys for the Southern Pacific of Mexico, Ybarra & Parker were also retained by many of the large mining and commercial com- panies operating in Sonora, and in this con-

nection Mr. Parker's extensive knowledge of the Spanish language, cultivated from his youth, stood him in good stead.

During Mr. Parker's association with Hon. Eugene S. Ives at Tucson, Arizona, he was connected with some of the most important litigation in the territory, and made a host of friends.

He was a member of the California Club, Jonathan Club and Bar Association of Los Angeles; the Old Pueblo Club, Tucson; Blue Lodge of the Masonic order and Scottish Rite, Tucson; the Shrine, Phoenix.

Mr. Parker is mourned by a widow, Mrs. Harriette N. Parker, and four children. In his passing Southern California has lost her best known and most successful practitioner in Mexican law and a man of the highest integrity.

EGBERT HENRY FAUNTLEROY VARIEL.

Robert Henry Fauntleroy Variel, one of the best known attorneys of the Los Angeles bar, died March 3, 1905.

Mr. Variel was born November 22, 1849, a scion of an old New England family of Revo-

lutionary stock. He was the eldest of five children.

When he was two and a half years of age his parents brought him across the plains to California, and settled on the Yuba River. They soon located at the prosperous mining camp of Camptonville, and it was there that his early years were spent.

His education was received in the public schools, and through his perseverance in home studies, at eighteen years of age he had se- cured a second-grade teacher's certificate, and after two years of successful teaching he re- ceived a first-grade certificate.

OBITUARY

203

During this time he was studying law, and in 1873 he was nominated by the Republicans of Plumas County for District Attorney, and was elected by a large majority, although the county was Democratic.

He was married to Miss Caroline Vogel in 1876, and to them were born three children, a daughter, who is now Mrs. Roger Sherman Page; two sons, R. H. F. Variel, Jr., and Clar- ence L. Variel. They, with the widow, sur- vive him.

Mr. Variel had been connected with some of the heaviest litigation before the courts of Southern California. Among the most notable of these cases were the water suits in which the city of Los Angeles and the Pomeroy- Hooker interests were arrayed.

In his earlier years here he was associated for a time with Senator Stephen M. White, and then practiced alone until 1905, when a partnership was formed between Mr. Variel, his brother, William J. Variel, and his brother- in-law, H. M. Barstow.

He was a member of the Charter Revision Committee and gave much time to that work. He was also a trustee of the State Normal School under the administration of Gage. He held membership in the Chamber of Commerce, and was always interested in the development of the city and Southern California.

He was a member of Al Malaikah Temple of the Mystic Shrine, the Los Angeles Com- mandery, Knights Templars, Hollenbeck Lodge, A. F. & A. M., the Fraternal Brother- hood, the California Club, the Sierra Club and other societies. In church fellowship his affiliations were with the Independent Church of Christ.

Politically Mr. Variel had always been a Republican, and he took an active part in both local and state politics. In 1886 he was elected to the state Assembly from the dis- trict comprising Plumas and Sierra Counties.

The career of Mr. Variel shows the possi- bilities of unremitting perseverance and de- termination to make progress despite seem- ingly great difficulties. Without the aid of a college education or wealth, he studied alone, and won his way to an important posi- tion in the bar, in a career which made him friends in all walks of life. He had a capa- city of winning and retaining friendships.

ROBERT FERRAL.

Judge Ferral had been conspicuous in the public life of the state for many years. He was a pioneer in newspaper work and at the bar, and several times filled public offices. His last office was that of Assistant District Attorney under Lewis Byington from 1903 to 1906, during which time he prosecuted Mrs. Botkin in the famous poisoning case.

Ferral was born in Philadelphia in 1841 and came to California in 1852, by way of the

Isthmus of Panama. His youth he spent in Sonora, where he became the editor of the "Sonora Union Democrat." In 1863 he was admitted to the bar. But for many years he did not engage in active practice, devoting himself rather to newspaper work. He was the editor of a paper at Aurora and later of the "Sacramento Republican." In 1867 he took charge of the "Sonoma Democrat," of which he remained the editor until 1872. In that year he came to San Francisco and was associated for a time with Henry George in editing the "San Francisco Post." For a time he was identified with "The Bulletin."

In 1873 he was appointed Assistant Dis- trict Attorney, which he held for two years. He was then made secretary of the state Sen- ate, and when the City Criminal Court was established in 1876 he was appointed to the bench by Governor Irwin. This place he held until 1879, when he became Superior Court Judge for five years.

After that he devoted himself to private practice, and became one of the most success- ful criminal lawyers at the local bar. He died in the spring of 1912.

CYRUS F. McNUTT.

Cyrus F. McNutt, one of the oldest and best known attorneys in Los Angeles, and associ- ate counsel in the McNamara trial, died May 31, 1912,

He was prominent in legal and Democratic political circles here and in Indiana, his na- tive state. His legal services were secured by Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the McNamaras, because of his comprehensive knowledge of Indiana law. He was also se- lected to assist in the defense of Clarence Darrow on trial for bribery, but failing health forced him to withdraw.

He was elected Superior Court Judge of Vigo County, Indiana, in 1892, and served four years. He was candidate for Congress in Indiana on the Democratic ticket, in 1876, but was defeated.

He was married in 1858 and his wife died three years later. In 1863 he married Eliza Gordon Craig, who survives him. He also leaves a daughter, Eloise McNutt, who re- sides in this city, and one son, F. A. McNutt, a practicing attorney in Terre Haute.

Judge McNutt was born July 9, 1837, in Johnson County, Indiana, and received his education at Franklin College until 1856. He was admitted to the bar at Indianapolis in 1860, and was associated for a time with Judge D. D. Banta. He moved to Martin- ville, Indiana, two years later, where he prac- ticed until 1897, when he moved to this city where he since engaged in his profession, having been associated with Colonel George H. Smith and J. E. Hannon.

OBITUARY

JOHN SAMUEL BEARD.

Born in Northumberland County, Pennsyl- vania, October 30, 1836, and passed to the Great Beyond on December 12, 1910, at Yreka, California, the county seat of Siski- you Co., the scene of his activities since 1862.

Judge Beard was admitted to the bar at Sunbury, Pennsylvania, April 7, 1857, a few

months before becoming of age. He prac- ticed his chosen profession there for a short time, and in 1859 came west, residing for a short time in Oregon, and locating in Siski you County in 1862.

During the years 1859 to 1863 Judge Beard engaged in mining. In 1864 and 1865 he fol- lowed the butchering trade, and from 1865 until 1872 he was a teacher in the grammar schools of Siskiyou County, having the dis tinction of being the president of the first Board of Education of that county. He re- sumed the practice of the law in 1872, and entered politics in 1876, first as District At torney for eight years, and then as Judge.

During all his busy life, Judge Beard was an ardent member of fraternal orders.

Trained in the common law by his early reading, and familiar with all local condi- tions, having practical knowledge of mining and irrigation, Judge Beard was well fitted to serve upon the bench. His decisions were generally upheld by the Supreme Court in civil cases, and in some notable instances the Supreme Court adopted his construction of the law, where no precedent existed.

In criminal cases Judge Beard had a per- fect record of no reversals during his long occupancy of the bench.

Pioneers of Siskiyou County remember Judge Beard as a young man, full of life, fond of sports and not afraid of manual la-

bor. They recall the dark days of that career, when evil companions and the loose customs of the times in the mining camps threatened to mar a promising future. And they remember, with thanksgiving, how the man's strength of character asserted itself and in a few short years won from the peo- ple of Siskiyou the highest office within their power to bestow — that of the superior judge- ship. And with what pleasure they recount the fact that their judgment of the man was well founded, and that for thirty-two years — 1876 to 1908 — and indeed until old age had laid a heavy hand upon him, they had kept him in office, and none there was who could depose him.

During those years Siskiyou County had a judge whose record has been unsurpassed in the entire state. A devoted and enthusiastic friend, a political enemy not to be despised, he never lost his judicial poise, and finally retired from the bench in January, 1909.

A. P. CATLIN.

A. P. Catlin was born in Dutchess County, state of New York, in 1823, and came from a long line of Colonial and Revolutionary an- cestors. He was called to the bar in New York as an attorney and counselor in 1844, and later in the same year as a solicitor in

the old Chancery Court. He entered the practice of the law first in Kingston and later in New York City. He came to Cali- fornia in August, 1849, via Cape Horn.

In 1849, he formed a partnership with John Currey, afterward Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court of California and now the patri- arch of the California bar.

Later in the fifties Mr. Catlin formed an- other partnership with Colonel (afterward

General) G. W. Bowie, which partnership was ended by the departure of Colonel Bowie to the war in command of one of the California regiments. Later in practice he had as part- ners T. B. McFarland, late Justice of the Supreme Court of California, David Hambur- ger, now of Los Angeles and since retired, Lincoln White, George A. Blanchard, A. L. Shinn, and his son, John C. Catlin.

He was a member of the 4th and 5th Ses- sions of the California Senate, where his efforts did much in perpetuating the title of the San Francisco waterfront in the state. He served one term as a member of the State Board of Equalization, by appointment of Governor Booth, and one term as Judge of the Superior Court of Sacramento County.

Actuated by the highest principles, his political career was largely a history of de- feat. In 1875 he was defeated for independ- ent nomination for governor by the combined strength of Bidwell and Estee, after one of the hardest convention battles in the history of the state. In 1879 he went to defeat for Justice of the Supreme Court of California with the whole Republican ticket.

In the antebellum period his public efforts and lectures in the cause of the Union kept him prominently before the people. During the famous career of the "Sacramento Union" he was an editorial writer, together with such distinguished men as Anthony and Sea- bough, and in the early seventies he was its editor-in-chief. His own unaided activities located the permanent seat of .government at Sacramento, and he was always the implaca- ble adversary of all who tried thereafter to remove it.

A great reader and a finished scholar, an earnest advocate and a sincere and sound counselor, he carried with him always the air of the motley drama of '49. His vener- able figure was a familiar and beloved sight in the metropolis and in the county seats of Central California. He died in Sacramento, November 4, 1900.

SAMUEL MOUNTFOED WILSON.

No more ardent votary of the legal science lived than the subject of this sketch, and his professional success, as well as his emi- nent position as a lawyer, verified the prac- tical wisdom of the great father of the common law. Sprung from a hardy and worthy race, inheriting an active intellect and a sound constitution, he devoted his ear- liest years to the acquisition of knowledge, in which his intelligence and application con- quered every obstacle until the crudeness of the student matured into the erudition of the scholar. In later years, his practical, inquir- ing mind, in its wide intercourse with men, derived those lessons of experience and wis- dom which gave their inspiration to his legal life. Mr. Justice Stephen J. Field, of the

United States Supreme Court, a warm per- sonal friend of Mr. Wilson, entertained a pro- found respect for his learning and ability, and ranked him as the peer of the greatest English lawyers.

Mr. Wilson received an academical educa- tion at the Old Grove Academy in Steuben-

ville. Two of his school-fellows, Milton S. Latham and Joseph C. McKibben, have since become prominent in the history of Califor- nia. It was the best institution of learning in that part of Ohio, and its facilities for obtaining an education were equal, if not superior, to many of those pretentious insti- tutions dignified with the empty title of "col- lege." But in the great west in those days men made themselves, and were not the product of colleges and universities.

Samuel M. Wilson studied law with his uncle, General Samuel Stokely, of Steuben- ville, a man of most distinguished abilities, and at the time a member of Congress from Ohio. The bar of that part of Ohio in which Mr. Wilson was educated was always re- nowned for its prominent lawyers.

Samuel M. Wilson was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of Ohio, at Warren, when but twenty-one years and two months old. Shortly afterward he settled and began the practice of law at Galena, Illinois, form- ing with Joseph P. Hoge, then member of Congress from that state, a copartnership which was destined to last nearly twenty years, and until both members of the firm had achieved a distinction that placed them at the head of the profession on the Pacific Coast, and in the very first rank of living lawyers.

The little city of Galena, so often heard of as General Grant's former residence, was, during Mr. Wilson's sojourn there, the center

206

OBITUARY

of the lead mines of Illinois, Iowa, and Wis- consin, and was remarkable for its able bar. Among its distinguished members were E. B. Washburne, late Minister to France; Thomas Drummond; Benjamin R. Sheldon, one of the judges of the Supreme Court of Illinois; Thompson Campbell, formerly one of the United States Land Commissioners and long a resident of San Francisco; O. C. Pratt, formerly United States Judge in Oregon, and afterward one of the ablest Dis- trict Judges in San Francisco; Van H. Hig- gins, afterward one of the District Judges in Chicago; and Colonel Joseph P. Hoge, already mentioned. It was at such a bar that Mr. Wilson started on his legal career.

Mr. Wilson was married on July 5, 1848, to Emily J. Scott, daughter of Honorable John Scott, one of the most distinguished lawyers of Missouri, and first member of Congress from that state.

In 1853 Messrs. Wilson and Hoge, still law partners, transferred themselves and families to San Francisco. The firm at once took rank with the leading members of that already brilliant bar. In 1864 the business connection was dissolved, but the warmest friendship continued between the members. In 1867 Mr. Wilson formed a professional connection with the late A. P. Crittenden, which continued down to the death of that gentleman in November, 1870. Upon the resignation of S. W. Sanderson as Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court of California, the vacant seat was offered to Mr. Wilson by Governor Haight, but declined, Mr. Wilson preferring his position and independence at the bar, the only exception being that of the Constitutional Convention of 1878, when he felt it to be a duty incumbent on him to participate in its deliberations, involving the consideration of questions of grave mag- nitude, as well as the fundamental principles of state government. He was elected as a nonpartisan by the state at large. While his former venerable and eminent law part- ner, Colonel Hoge, was the presiding officer, Mr. Wilson was chairman of the judiciary committee, and likewise a member of several other equally important committees. His su- perior legal knowledge, learning and ability gave him a commanding influence as a lead- ing member of that body, and contributed largely to mold its final conclusions and en- actments, though he refused to sign the con- stitution as finally adopted. He was also elected, in 1880, a member of the body of freeholders, formed to draft a new charter for the city of San Francisco, in which he took a leading part. His son, Russell J. Wil- son, having been admitted to the bar, the father and son, in January, 1874, formed the law firm of Wilson & Wilson. The legal opinions of Mr. Wilson were always well considered, and carried great weight where- ever he was known. When the question

arose among the members of the Supreme Court, in reference to their terms of office, and especially as to which one of them was chief justice under the old constitution, Mr. Wilson was one of the three gentlemen called on to determine this most difficult and delicate matter. The decision rendered by him and his learned associates, Colonel Hoge and S. H. Dwinelle, was unanimous, and was accepted by the judges, as well as by the public at large, as just and sound. It is this clear perception of the primary principles of law, on great occasions, which induced the bar, as by common consent, to select him as the legal arbiter of many of the most difficult, nice and important questions arising in ju- dicial investigations.

Mr. Wilson was an accomplished advocate, able in debate, strong in legal argument, and especially successful in jury trials. Al- though his forensic duties, in the line of his profession, claimed his special attention, yet he had occasionally, in compliance with friendly solicitations, taken the rostrum in behalf of some political measure, or by way of inaugurating some worthy public enter- prise. In 1864, at the laying of the corner- stone of the state capitol, by invitation of Governor Downey, Mr. Wilson delivered the address, a masterly production, worthy both of him and the occasion.

Mr. Wilson, until within a few years of his death, enjoyed perfect health, but an attack of rheumatism some years ago, brought on an enforced retirement from his work. His recovery, however, seemed to be perfect, and on the resumption of his professional labors there remained scarcely any perceptible traces of his illness. Shortly after his re- covery he made a tour of the Orient return- ing to San Francisco in October, 1891. On his return he found many matters awaiting him, and immediately, with his old-time ardor, he plunged into work. The fatal day came June 3, 1892, when after a short illness he passed away, leaving a name that will always stand prominent in the history of the state of California.

GEORGE CADWALADEE.

George Cadwalader was born in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1830. His great grandfather, a na- tive of Wales, settled in Pennsylvania two years before William Penn, and lies buried in the churchyard at Chester near Philadelphia. George was the first lawyer of his line, as far as it can be traced back. He received a com- mon school education in Ohio, and came with his father, and father's family, to California in 1849. The route was unusual and pictur- esque; down the Mississippi to New Orleans, thence to the mouth of the Rio Grande, thence across Mexico to Mazatlan, thence in a schooner to San Francisco, which was reached in July, 1849. The family settled in Sacra-

OBITUARY

mento, where the father died in 1879, aged seventy-nine years.

Young Cadwalader went later to the mines. He was nineteen years old. The virgin sands panned out to him his share of gold, and in two years he became a merchant. He went back to Sacramento and followed mer- cantile life until 1855, being once utterly ruined financially by the great fire of 1852.

Mr. Cadwalader went to Colonel Philip L. Edwards, and said he would like to study law. Colonel Edwards encouraged him, told him to study — to read every book in his library, if he wanted to, and when he wanted to ask a question or a dozen questions, to do so — and to make that office his place of study so long as it pleased him.

In March, 1856, he was admitted to the Su- preme Court and in the same month made his maiden argument before the Sixth District Court (Judge A. C. Monson) in a case which involved the jurisdiction of the old Superior Court of San Francisco. He had the good for- tune to prevail in this case, and so to set out conspicuously upon his profession. He prac- ticed in Sacramento until 1884, when he re- moved to San Francisco, and after practicing about one year died, leaving a name honored as a lawyer and a gentleman throughout the state of California.

SELDEN STUART WRIGHT.

Born in Essex County, Virginia, March 7, 1822. He received his education in the pub- lie schools of his native state, and studied law at the William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia, which institution he left in about 1842, and proceeded to Lexing- ton, Mississippi, where he was admitted to the profession in which he was destined to be a leader. He commenced the practice in the city in which he was admitted, practic- ing in partnership with Hon. Walter Brooke until the fall of 1850, when he removed to Yazoo, Mississippi, and shortly after his ar- rival there received the appointment of Vice-

Chancellor of the Middle District of Missis- sippi, and three years afterward was elected by the people to the same office. At the close of his term of office he removed to Cali- fornia, arriving here on the third day of January, 1860. He continued actively in the

profession, and in 1868 was elected Judge of the Probate Court, serving in that office with honor and distinction until the expiration of his term in 1872. In 1871 he was nom- inated by the Democratic party, a candidate for Supreme Judge, but was defeated with the rest of his associate candidates, but in 1874, notwithstanding the difference in poli- tics, he was appointed County Judge. He was a man of deep religious sentiments, being a Baptist, and during his early years wrote for the religious press, being an exceptionally graceful and able writer. He died in San Francisco on February 26, 1893, after hav- ing led a particularly active life, and leav- ing behind him an honorable record.

ghan & Co., 1877; "Critical Eeview of Modern English Jurisprudence," out of print; "Theory of the State," prize essay, published by the American Philosophical Society, Philadelphia; "Logic, or the Analytic of Explicit Reason- ing," G. P. Putnam Sons, New York and London; "The Theory of Jurisprudence," pub- lished by the Victoria Institute of Great Britain, in "Transactions," Vol. 43. He is also the author of numerous essays on juris- prudence and logic, and on the law, published in the American Law, during the last twenty- five or twenty-six years, and among others the following: "The True Method of Legal Education"; "Logic and Its Uses — A Lawyer's View."

The thesis of these works was written with the specific purpose of attacking Austin's theory of jurisprudence, then universally, or almost universally, recognized in England and in this country, and the author has had the satisfaction of living to see this theory uni- versally repudiated in both countries. It has, however, the author thinks, been succeeded in this country by a theory, or rather a prac- tice, which is even more objectionable; which is, that judicial decisions and statutes are the only sources of the law, but the thesis of all the works and essays enumerated above is equally applicable to this theory or practice as to 'that of Austin. It is, that in theory, the law, or rather the doctrine of rights and actions (which may be called jurisprudence), is but another name for justice or right; and that this has been recognized by all the great jurists of our law, and others, as the pre- dominating or governing principle in the ad- ministration of justice, without which the courts must be like ships at sea without com- pass. This is inserted at the request of the author, who, at the close of his career, after a practice of over fifty years, and more than forty in 'the state of California, feels himself at liberty to call the attention of his pro- fessional brethren to the unsatisfactory condi- tion of the law, and to the only principles upon which it can be reformed.
