The court declines to believe the testi-

tending to prove immoral relations be-
tween Heyl and Mrs. Schandein
An appeal will be taken to the circuit
court and from the decision of that court
TO the highest court in the land before

In his decision, Judge Carpenter scored
THE expert testimony, and expressed a
strong hope that the Legislature would
soon pass a law which would authorize
a Judge to cali in unbiased experts, that

No notice of appeal was given at the

and a most honorable one
He was born in Ciscero, Onon-

moved with his family to Ohio when
he continued his journey westward to
WISCONSIN, settling near Burlington, in
Racine county, where he was the pioneer
physician of that section of the state.
In the absence of any other method
of transportation, DR.. Dyer rode on
continued his journey on foot to Burling
ton, following the Indian trail. In 1889
he was joined by his family in the Wis
consin wilderness. DR.. Dyer died in
1888.
Judge Dyer, on the paternal side of his
family, is a descendant of Roger Will
liams, the founder of Rhode Island. One
| OF his ancestors, Mary Dyer, was hanged
for heresy on Boston Common, June /,
1860.
In a rude log cabin on the present

her son the rudiments of an education.
Later he attended the district school in
the neighborhOod, and at the age of 10
years he went to Chicago, to learn the
printers trade. He entered the office
of the Western Citizen, an anti-slavery
paper published by ZeyIna Eastman, and
for nearly TWO years served as errand
boy, cOmpOsitor, paper carrier and news
writer.
He did not like the business, and al
though he was indentured for a four
year term, he broke the contract" as he
used bluntly to state it, and quit the
case for the bar. With the proceeds of
a Carriers address, he purchased a new
suit of clothes, returned home and be-
gan the study of photography. This was
the beginning of his professional career.
He went to Sandusky, o., and entered
the office of the clerk of the court of

three years, young Dyer was, in 1851
admitted to the bar. He became asso.
ciated as a partner with Walter +
Stone, who later became on of the
judges of the Ohio supreme court. He
practiced his profession in Sandusky I'M
| til January. 1859. He then decided that
the promising field for a young lawyer
was farther west. He came to Wiscon-
sin, and began the practice of law in
Racine. Here he earned a reputation
both as lawyer and as a man of gener-
al information.
Henry {. Fuller, having up to this time
been alone, and the two remained to-
gether until 1879, when, on October 1O
of that year, President Grant appointed

Wisconsin, position which he held until
May, 1888, when he resigned to accept
the position of general counsel for the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company, position which he held at the
time of his death.
AS a judge he was admired for his alb
solute fairness, his courteous firmnesS
and the ability and breadth of his de-
clSlons. He was a hard worker, patient
persistent and methodical. During two
years of the time he was upon the bench
Judge Dyer was engaged upon the trial
Of the famous whisky cases." which
became notorious throughout the entire
country. His term OF office Immediately
preceded the creation of the present
court of appeals, and as a consequence,
except in cases whsre the interests in
vOlved would warrant an appeal to the
supreme court, Judge Dyer's decisions
were final. The volumes of the federal
reports contain many of Judge T. nr's
decisions in important cases covering thc
fields of bankruptcy, marine, equity cor
pOration and commercial law, and are
recognized as authorities upon the ques-
tons involved.
Judge Dyer served the city of Racine
as city attorney in 1S59-G0 and was a
member of the lower house of the
Legislature i'll 1868, at the latter
session being chairman of the commit

Judge Dyer was lifelong Republican.
His first vote was cast for Salmon z
Chase for governor of Ohio in 1855. and
