A Shooting Affair on the Streets,
AUSTIN, June 16. Especial AT II
o'clock the supreme court met fol
the purpose Of receiving the portrait OF the
late ex-Chief Justice Hemphill, which the
Austin bar presented to them. Governor
o. M. Roberts being the only surviving
member of the court of which Mr.. Hemp
hill was chief Justice, was selected by the
Austin bar to present the portrait. On the
opening of the court, Governor Roberts ap
preached the portrait, which sat upon a
desk TO the right of the court, and pre-
sented it to the court in a few well-chosen
remarks. He spoke of Mr.. Hempbills fitness
for the position of chief Justice at the time
he presided, by reason OF his education, his
patient industry and conservatism, the
scope of law through which he and his as.
sociates labored to frame our jurisprudence,
the manner in which he presided and his
favored subjects for investigation. He paid
him deserved tribute by saying that he
was one Of the few judges that have been
on the supreme bench who gave very
special attention to the literary excellence
of his written opinions, giving this
as reason, in addition to the great care
and deliberation given to the subjects, for
by him. He closed by saying: when,
after his health had been impaired by his
recluse habits of study and arduous labors,
he was elected to the United States senate.
he left his long occupied seat
on the bench with evident re-
gret to enter the political arena at
a stormy period not in accord with
mis- general habits of thought and action.
1t is due to him in commemoration of his
usefulness and devotion to Texas that his
remains should, as they do, rest in the
ing monument maring the spot where he
lies, and that this likeness OF him should
be suspended in the room of the supreme
court and to him his presence always com.
manded the respect due to his exalted posi-
tion as the chief justice" Chief Justice
Miller responded in behalf Of the court in
q most admirable and characteristic man
ner. He paid tribute to the excellent
manner in which the portrait was executed
and referred to the mastery intellect and
superior attainments of Mr.. Hemphill as
reflected in the records of this court,
the report in which its decisions
are perpetuated, saying, There are
the enduring monuments Of his fame,
which, more than painting or sculpture,
transmit him to posterity as one of the
greatest lawyers OF his time, an enlight-
ened scholar, a just and impartial judge"
Judge Willie referred to the time at which
Chiei Justice Hemphill occupied the bench,
saying he was the only link that bound the
supreme court of the state to that
noble little republic. A glowing
tribute was paid to the bench, Hemphill,
Lipscomb and Wheeler, and the manner
and ability in which ihey performed their
duties. "These judges, said Judge Willie,
constructed fabric which has ever since
been the admiration of the bar of the courts
of our state, and they have left but little for
their successors to do in this
respect butt but preserve that t., fabric fabric,
ing in most glowing and deserved man.
ner of the ability, fairness, conciseness and
uprightness of Justice Hemphill, whose
reputation as iurist knew no stain, and
on which the breath of SANDER never
breathed, Judge Willie closed his remarks
by saying: '.We hope the day is not far
distant when portrait of Judge
Wheeler will complete the gal.
lery with the likeness oi
TEN, ever present and seemingly looking
down and encouraging our laoors. May
we emulate and be inspired by their exam
Pile and contribute towards perpetuating
the system they so wisely inaugurated.
May we be blessed with the same share OF
the wisdom and learning they so
possessed and discharge with
some little OF the credit TO which they
we're entitled, the responsible duties 10
which we have been called by the partiality
Of our beloved state.'
A movement is on foot to procure a por.
trait of Justice Wheeler, said 10 be in pos
session OF his son, when portraits Of the
entire bench, HemphilL, Wheeler and
Lipscomb will grace the halls Of justice.
