Judge Porter's professional career, which

Judge ofthe Eighth Judicial District, was
marked by ability and incorruptable in.
tegrity. - .,,.,of...l... J. !
As Q LAWYER, he was faithful to his clients,
to a degree which not unfrequensly con.
ficted with his own private interests. The
dignity Of his judicial bearing, his we'll
poised character, his i%ngle.minded love of
truth and justice, were conspicuous, and
adorned his life as a reliable lawyer and
Trustworthy friend Never, we will ven
ture'to assert, was the judicial ermime less
stained by triekery,, want of coul tesy, and
corruption, as when IL robed him in its
tnoblest attributes F5a} eili'" 2a"@@
G. II Is .tthhpdss ofhiss public life. tbass casn,door

of Judge Porter But what can we say of
him as husband, father, friend, and citizen,
which would net sppear exaggerated ta

made up q man! whom we can as i'll spare,
