sented to the Supreme Court of Appeals

FoNard' after which Judge Staples made a
very impressive and appropriate eulogy
OF the deceased. He dwelt upon the
characteristics Of Judge Crump. and spoke
OF several Of his personal experiences with
nm. I'm concluding his remarks Judge
Staples said:
IN 1870 when ] entered upon the bench
or the Supreme Court Of Appeals Judge
Crump had a very large and remunerative
practice, far more so than during the past
few years.
''The bar Of that period was character
lied by its great number Of able members,
but in successful management Skill and
ability. none of its members surpassed
him.
During my term on the bench 1 have
frequently been at his house by invita-
ton. where I have always received the
most delightful hospitality. In his latter
days l have found him as delightful as
/ always used TO find him When man
grows gradually and serenely old, he is
fine object Of contemplation, and Judge
Crump was just such a man.
CARED BUT LITTLE FOR POLITICS.
"He never had much desire for political
or judicial offices When I came into
life in my profession. Virginia was dis
tinguished in every walk of life by great
number Of remarkable men, and It's mem
bers of Congress were considered the
finest orators in that body
Judge Crump was prominent among
the younger men of this period. and ne
was held in the highest confidence ana
esteem by both political parties.
"The man who has led life OF useiuI-
ness among his fellow-citizens VIII out
live his own life among them for n long
time in the charities that he has created
and his many other noble deeds.
"Of such men Judge Crump will forDear
his mart in the coming generation"
The resolutions Of the Bar Association,
rs presented by Judge Staples and read
