trial OF ex-City Clerk Chas. F. Haney for
offering bribe of $500 to Alderman F.. G.

money and used 1t, but professed ignorance
as to who sent 1t or why 1t was sent.

wives Interest in the Building.

Very few houses IN this city or any
where else, are possessed or more historic
interest than the old building, when is
commonly known as the Marshall House,
and which was the home OF that cele-
bTatod jurist, John Marshall, Chief JUS
tee Of the United States.
1t IS a large and striking two-story
brick house on the northwest corner OF
Ninth and Marshall streets, the latter
street having been named after him.
uhis fine old dwelling was built by the
eminent Judge in l79j. and was occupied
by him until his death, which occurred
in 1885. Judge Marshall formerly owned
the whole of the block. or square, which
is now bounded by Marshall. Ninth. Clay,
and Eighth streets, and this space was
his lawn and garden.

of what Is now this square OF the city.
built In old colonial fashion, with dormer
windows. and he had his office in the
yard, all around il.
This new house, as II was IN 1875, was
at once insured against fire In the Old
Mutual Assurance Society OF Virginia.
which was incorporated in 1924. and the

their father. There are now living in
this old dwelling three grandchildren Of
Judge Marshall-Miss A. +. Harvie, Mrs.

exceedingly quaint and interesting place,
indeed.

were used by Judge Marshall are now
in the house, only a bookcase and his

the Richmond City Bar Association 70
purchase it and TO preserve it as he left
1t. both Of which purposes were an
nounced at the meeting Of the association
last wednesday evening.
Mr.. Beverley B. Munford, a prominent
member OF the Bar Of Richmond, offered
the resolutions looking 10 this end, and
they were heartily seconded and unani-
mously adopted by the association.
Mr.. Munfords idea is to have the
building preserved as Judge Marshall
left It, to fiji It with the furniture the
portraits and books in use during the life
time Of the great Chief Justice, and make
II a rendezvous and home for lawyers and
judges Of Richmond. Of Virginia, and
the United States. The members OF the
association support this idea with great
enthusiasm.
