IN memory OF carlos HaFeu~
The largest and most impressive meeting Of
the bar We have ever attended convened at
the rooms Of the Law Institute yesterday |
morning, to give expression to the feelings Of |
the legal profession upon the occasion Of the
death Of the late lamented Carlos Hayen, Esq.
Upon motion, Judge Geo. Manierre was
called to The chair, Judges Van 4 Higgins
aud Robert S. Wilson, Vice Presidents, and
John Lyle King, Secretary.
Upon taking the chair, Judge Manierre
spoke as follows:
REMARKS OF JUDGE MASIERRE.
The members of the bar were not aware Of
Mr. Bayen's illness until Saturday. I went
| to the house that day at twelve o'clock, but I
| did not see him, not wishing to disturb him,
and thinning perhaps that disturbance under
such circumstances might tend to deprive hsn
from quiet ! was informed about O'clock OF
his death, which took place about two o clock.
| He has been among US, and have known him
| for about fifteen years, as Prosecuting At
superior. I have been in the Circuit Court
something like tventy-sfE years, and have
known every Prosecuting Attorney during
that period, aud I think I can say with
Justice and truth that Nj. Haven, taking him
in all respects, was superior to any OF them in
that Office. do not see that public officer
could bring more conscientious sense Of du-
ty to the discharge Of The dnties than he as
Prosecuting Attorney. In all cases before the
Circuit Court, think that I may say that
never knew him to attempt to convict merely
for the purpose Of Of preserving bis reputa-
tion as d prosecutor. l think that may say
that IN ali the prosecutions before me, he de-
| ported himself as 4 conscientious man, and
, never in my recolle ction pressed convicticn
I unless his duty required him to do so. 1haTe
; | known him on many occasions abandon pros
, ecutions while the case WAS on trial merely for
< | the sole reason that he was convinced that the
: party ought not to be convicted from the
Evidence presented do not think that any
/ member Of the bar who has been opposed to
4 him in any Of these cases can utter aught
s against him. I think they will all concur
/ universally in saying Of him what have said
n that be was conscientious public officer and
! 10 never sought urjustly to produce convictisr
merely for the purpose Of succeeding in the
n case We all know that prosecutors are a
,e times disposed in the heat Of trial to pres
lie for conviction merely for the sake of conSic
le tlpn. That he never did. lido not in this cas-
e feel like making any extensive remarks ant
ae shall not add any more at this time. tn
