an eloquent eulogy upon the life and
character Of the late Justice Jackson

Il have referred to his life as barren
Of stirring or sensational features; yet
there was at least one notable excep-
IONS and whoever witnessed Judge
Jackson's last judicial effort in this
c;nlrt room participated in an event
tthe Income tax decision), not merely
having great national significance, but
in its display of human faculties and
human emotions in a state of extraor-
0nary excitement, possessing dramatic
clements rarely exhibited either within
or without the halls Of justice. 1t was
Tl1Gch 30 take part in the memorable
scene then enacted, whether as Judge,
as counsel, as party, or even as spec
tdtOr. But ii was reserved for Judge
Jackson to identify it with the culmina-
tIon Of his honorable career and to give
TO his dissent something of the solem-
ltity Of a message from beyond the
tcn4o. Fortunate in his life, he was
even more fortunate in his manner Of
leaving IT"
