  • 1914 Journal
    : : SUPREME COURT OE THE UNITED STATES. Monday, October 12, 1914. The Court met pursuant to law. Present: The Chief Justice, Mr. Justice McKenna, Mr. Justice Hohnes, Mr. Justice Day, Mr. Justice Hughes, Mr. Justice Van Devanter, Mr. Justice Lamar, and Mr. Justice McKeynolds. The Chief Justice said " It gives me pain to say that since the court adjourned at the end of the last term it has come to pass that the nation may no longer enjoy the fruitful and beneficent results to arise from the continued enlightened and devoted discharge by Mr. Justica^Lurton of his public duties. He died at Atlantic City on thd^ dm day of July. In addition to the sorrow which they share with their country- men at so great a loss, the members of the Court have suffered the pang caused by the severance of the close personal ties which bound them to Mr. Justice Lurton ; ties the strength of which can not be fully appreciated without understanding how completely his attain- ments and his lovable traits of personal character commanded the respect and drew to him the warm affection of those who had the privilege of being associated with him in the performance of his judicial duties. "In the month of August the Hon. James Clark McKeynolds was appointed an Associate Justice of this court, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Justice Lurton, and on the 3d day of September the oath of office required by section 1756 of the Revised Statutes was administered to Mr. McKeynolds by the Chief Justice.

  • Courts and Criminals Arthur Train
    Courts and Criminals Arthur Train ______________________________________________________________ These essays, which were written between the years 1905-1910 are reprinted without revision, although in a few minor instances the laws may have been changed. ______________________________________________________________ CHAPTER I The Pleasant Fiction of the Presumption of Innocence There was a great to-do some years ago in the city of New York over an ill-omened young person, Duffy by name, who, falling into the bad graces of the police, was most incontinently dragged to headquarters and "mugged" without so much as "By your leave, sir," on the part of the authorities. Having been photographed and measured (in most humiliating fashion) he was turned loose with a gratuitous warning to behave himself in the future and see to it that he did nothing which might gain him even more invidious treatment. Now, although many thousands of equally harmless persons had been similarly treated, this particular outrage was made the occasion of a vehement protest to the mayor of the city by a certain member of the judiciary, who pointed out that such things in a civilized community were shocking beyond measure, and called upon the mayor to remove the commissioner of police and all his staff of deputy commissioners for openly violating the law which they were sworn to uphold. But, the commissioner of police, who had sometimes enforced the penal statutes in a way to make him unpopular with machine politicians, saw nothing wrong in what he had done, and, what was more, said so most outspokenly. The judge said, "You did," and the commissioner said, "I didn't." Specifically, the judge was complaining of what had been done to Duffy, but more generally he was charging the police with despotism and oppression and with systematically disregarding the sacred liberties of the citizens which it was their duty to protect.

  • Abraham Reincke Beck: Portrait of a Schoolmaster
    Abraham Reincke Beck: Portrait of a Schoolmaster William W. Hummel As is true of most work of this nature, there are numerous debts which can in no way be repaid. In at least one instance, however, good faith de- mands that the debt be assumed. The study of Abraham Reincke Beck and the edition of selected letters would never have materialized had it not been for the kindness of George Swan of Lititz, Pennsylvania, who brought Beck's Letter Book to the author's attention and granted permis- sion to publish a portion of it. Part I. A Portrait of a Schoolmaster On June 25, 1895, Abraham Reincke Beck, the highly respected school- master of Lititz, Pennsylvania, wrote a letter to his nephew James Mont- gomery Beck announcing his intention of closing the Beck Family School for boys. "The final closing of my school," wrote Beck. had been in consideration by us ever since Xmas, and with the end of the term we came to the conclusion that forty years' work was about enough, especially as Paul did not wish to succeed me. Had he done so, it would have given me much pleasure to teach for him because, so far, I have lost little, if any power in that direction, the heavy responsibility of taking entire charge of other people's children being the only thing we were beginning to tire of.' Beck's retirement from the teaching profession and the closing of the school marked the passing of an institution which had been the pride of the com- munity for thirty years.

  • Scandal, Murder, and the Mercyhurst Gates
    Scandal, Murder, and the Story of the Mercyhurst Gates By Steven Mooradian Public History 2021, Archival Assistant The twenty-foot-tall iron gates that stand at the 38th Street entrance to Mercyhurst University, are a familiar sight for all associated with the institution. Designed in the French Renaissance style, the gates have been a permanent fixture of the university’s architecture since they were installed in 1950. Their arrival at Mercyhurst, however, is less than simple. The gates belonged to the estate of eccentric Pittsburgh millionaire Harry K. Thaw, who among other things, was responsible for one of the most notorious murders of the 20th century. In an opportune purchase, the iconic gates have been reborn as an iconic symbol of education and prosperity. Inheriting a fortune worth $3 million after his father’s death in 1889, Harry Kendall Thaw, lived a wealthy man’s life. After a brief stint at the University of Pittsburgh, he attended Harvard, although he did not graduate, sometimes joking that he “studied poker”. Thaw was known for frequently throwing elaborate parties, both at his estate in Pittsburgh and on his travels to Europe. He was wildly eccentric, often going on drinking binges, lighting cigars with $100 bills, and spending large sums of money on gambling ventures. Harry K. Thaw Thaw was a notorious playboy and a routine guest at brothels across Europe. Splitting his time in the US between Pittsburgh and New York City, Thaw became a fan of Broadway, even if it was only to “study the chorus girls”, as he liked to put it.
