remarkable purity and simplicity ol
character; his hear. was q large one,
and his well of sympathetic feeling was
Deep Those members of the bar who
were brought most closely into contact
| with him will miss him much, but his
kindliness had made for him host OF
friends among the laymen, who will not
soon permit his memory to be effaced
from their hearts.
OF his mental ability the large num-
ber of responsible positions of trust and
honor which he filed during his long
career speak more forci5ly than mere
words. AS judge, he was absolutely
beyond reproacb; he WAS just, fearless
and careful to degree unusual to one
of his long experience upon tie bench.
Three times had the ermine graced
his shoulders, once for IL years upon the
bench of the circuit court of Illinois,
once for four years upon that of ths
county court of California, and again
while filling the position of judge of the
superior court of this county at a time
when in the midst of the wild specula-
tions and consequent litigations grow
ing out OF the rapid and marvellous
growth of our city, grave responsibilities
were thrust apon him. Those who were
nearest TO him in his official duties at
that time we'll know the eveness of
temper he displayed, and the calm,
methodical manner with which he con-
Quoted the public business. 1t bespoke
the experienced man of ability.
Judge O'Melveny was a marked man.
His dignity of carriage, his fine phys
ique, his strong, reliable face and his
courtly manner were such as to attract
the attention of even strangers, who in
stincSively turned to look at him passing
upon the street.
Such men as he live longer upon the
earth than the span OF their numb bered
years; they are not soon buried nor
soon forgotten. Fearless in the dis
charge of his public duties, his integrity
was SO fully recognized that none could
question it, and none would have had
the temerity to approach him with the
purpose OF inducing him to swerve from
the line of conduct which his judgment
and sense of justice compelled him to
pursue.
Just himself at the human bar, he
has nothing to fear at that bar before
which be and his brethren who 30
shortly preceded him have appeared,
for such life judges itself.
