In an opinion read today by Chief JUS

the United States Court for the Third
Circuit to release him from the custody
of Sheriff Barrett on a writ of habeas

a while successful, attempts to avoid

AN OLD SETTLER GONE.
MIR. John EB. Shields Life Was Fdenti-
fed with This Guys Growth.

BY the death of Mr.. John Shields of
No. 80 Varick street, this city loses
one of the very few remaining of its
early settlers. He was born in New
York City March 80, 1914, but came here
when only eight years old. He was an
orphan, without inheritance or powerful
friends; but he had energy and ability
and early became prosperous. He en-
gagged in the iron trade in New York
City, but always kept his residence in
this State. He retired from business with
a competency in 1S47. and thereafter de-
voted himself to the care of his own
estate, which he chiefly invested here
and to the estates of others. He was
executor and trustee of many persons
and always with efficiency. For many
years he was a Justice of the Peace,
when that office carried with it the dig
nifty it really deserves. He has long
been a valued member of the Second
Reformed Church, and while living re-
tired life has always been recognized and
In 1888 he married Jane, the daughter
of Daniel Crane, a large property owner
in the lower part of the city, and she
herself, past eighty years of age, sur
wives him. There were born of the mar
riage two sons only one, John H
Shields, being a resident here. and three
daughters, Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Oakley, and
Mrs. Scofield. He is thought to have
left comfortable estate.
