  • Indiana Magazine of History
    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOL. XX’VI SEPTEMBER, 1930 NUMBER3 Amos Lane, Advocate of Western Democracy By WENDELLHOLMES STEPHENSON THE CALL OF THE WEST In the quarter-century following the War of 1812, Amos Lane was a familiar figure in southeastern Indiana as he traveled the ill-kept roads and bridle-paths of the third judicial circuit, astride his sixty-dollar horse, “Big Sorrel.” The fash- ionable eel-skin queue and “wilted rorum hat” identified him as an itinerant attorney. Eager for political advancement, he mingled in the court yard with tillers of the soil and hewers of wood and won a seat in the lower branch of the first state legis- lature, which elevated him to the speakership at its second ses- sion. A weathervane in politics, he renounced the nationalism of Adams and Clay for the more popular democracy of Andrew Jackson. Although he boasted “That he wore no collar-no man’s yoke,” so ardently did he defend his hero in congress that he earned the sobriquet of “Wheel Horse.” He surpassed his idol in one respect at least ; he could swear mightier oaths than even the proficient Jackson. A contemporary asserted that when he mounted the stump and hurled sarcasm and in- vective at his political opponents, he was “heard to grit and grind his teeth together fifty yards.”l Indeed his long and loud ebullient tirades annoyed his enemies, and they dubbed him “the Ajax Telamon of the Party.” Like his Greek proto- type, he was always ready to defend his personal honor, al- though it is not of record that he ever served in th.e army.

Harlan's Formative Period: The Years Before The War By DAVID C. FAE=RELLY* JOHN MAisa~SHA HARLAN's sister, Elizabeth, remembered about his birth that Aunt Betty had rushed into the kitchen of the old stone farmhouse near Danville, Kentucky. "Another big red- headed boy," she exclaimed.- There was an unconscious prophecy in the baptismal name which James Harlan provided for his youngest son. Some might observe that the newborn baby was destined for the U. S. Supreme Court from the moment he entered the world. More prosaically, Father Harlan was an ardent ad- mirer of the great Chief Justice, and he chose this way of paying homage to a statesman whose beliefs corresponded with his own.

  • History of the U.S. Attorneys
    Bicentennial Celebration of the United States Attorneys 1789 - 1989 "The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor– indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." QUOTED FROM STATEMENT OF MR. JUSTICE SUTHERLAND, BERGER V. UNITED STATES, 295 U. S. 88 (1935) Note: The information in this document was compiled from historical records maintained by the Offices of the United States Attorneys and by the Department of Justice. Every effort has been made to prepare accurate information. In some instances, this document mentions officials without the “United States Attorney” title, who nevertheless served under federal appointment to enforce the laws of the United States in federal territories prior to statehood and the creation of a federal judicial district.
