Death of Charles Chapmau.

The death of Hon. Charles Chapman,
 the distinguished lawyer, occurred at Hart.
 ford on Saturday night. MT. Chapman
 was born at Newtown, Fairfield County, in
 1799. He commenced practice in New.
 town in 1924, went thence to New Haven, xand in 1882 removed to Hartford where he
 resided during the remainder of his life.
 As an advocate, especially as a criminal
 lawyer, MT. Chapman had no superior, if
 equal. in the State. His reputation
 wss such that for years he has been retain
 ed for the defence of almost every impor- 8ant criminal anywhere in Connecticut, ' and has saved many a murderer from the agallows. who deserved hanging, if indeed any man deserves to be hung. In the trial of cixilIcauses Mr. Chapman was not pre- 3 aqeninent, as ia ncriminal trials; nevertheless, his extraordinary ability as an advocate se- cured him also large and lucrative civil mpractice. az sl2i.s 7. l--zeE.ga 10 Although MT. Chapman never has been
 as prominent, and by no means as success sfA inJ JpoiiticsSas at the bar, he has never avoided them fiEes most distinguished city lawyers. Besides often serving in our leg oislature, he was U. s. Dist. Attorney under $Tyler. member of Congress in ls51-3, Temperance candidate for Gov. in 1854
 a No, only was. Mir. Chapman the most sbrilhant advocate in the State, but he was
 one of it's wittiest men. As good talker
 and capital story-teller he had few equals.
