Judge Joseph W. Woodrough August 29, 1873 - October 2, 1977 Judge Joseph W. Woodrough served as a federal judge for 61 years. He was nominated to the district court bench by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and to the U.S. Court of the Appeals for the Eighth Circuit by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. Judge Woodrough was renowned for walking hundreds of miles to remote trial venues. In 1932, he presided over a two-month jury trial, involving 59 defendants, bringing an end to the political machine and crime syndicate that controlled Omaha for the first third of the Twentieth Century. Woodrough 's portrait was painted by J. Laurie Wallace, an Omaha artist and student of Thomas Eakins. Judge Elmer S. Dundy April 9, 1968 - October 28, 1896 Judge Elmer S. Dundy was the first judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska. In 1879, he heard Ponca Chief Standing Bear's habeas corpus petition, and declared for the first time that an American Indian was a person under the law. The ruling prevented the federal government from forcing Standing Bear to reside on a reservation. The next year, John Elk, an Omaha resident whose parents were members of an Indian tribe, brought suit in federal court because he was denied voter registration. Judge Dundy, sitting with 8th Circuit Judge George W. McCrary, dismissed Elk's action. The Supreme Court affirmed the dismissal in Elk v. Wilkins (1884), holding that members of a tribe could attain citizenship only through naturalization. The Elk decision remained in effect until Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act in 1924. Justice Samuel Freeman Miller April 5, 1816 - October 13, 1890 Justice Samuel Freeman Miller was the first Justice of the United States Supreme Court from west of the Mississippi River. Nominated by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862, Justice Miller served until his death in 1890. He wrote 616 opinions-more than any other Justice in history. Although an ardent advocate for the abolition of slavery, Justice Miller took a narrow view of the Fourteenth Amendment, and his opinions limited the Amendment's application in the late Nineteenth Century. J.M Woolworth, a prominent Omaha lawyer and judge, donated this portrait of Justice Miller to the US. District Court for the District of Nebraska. Woolworth served as President of the American Bar Association and helped found the Omaha Library and the Nebraska State Historical Society. The artist is Thomas Le Clear ofNew York's National Academy. Slaughter-House Cases I Cases I Westlaw Page 1 of 42 SELECTED TOPICS Abrogation Recognized by Estate of Conner by Conner v.
