Charles A. Spiess, although but 3S
years Of age and a citizen
of the Territory but sixteen years, has
forged to the front with astonishing
rapdity and is today one of the most
prominent of the younger citizens of
the Sunshine Territory. He has made
for himself an enylable reputation as
an attorney and it is but the truth to
say tnat he occupies a commanding
place at the bar of the Territory.
Mr.. Spiess came to New Mexico II
year after he attained his majority,
from his home in WaTensburg. Mis-
souri,. For year or two he lived in
the town of Mora and occupied the
position OF deputy clerk of the county
while studying law. Thereafter he
moved to Santa Fe aud held &
position in the law Office of Catron,
Knaebel and Clancy until admitted to
the bar in 1891 He passed a fine eX-
animation. He rose step by step in
the legal profession until he was adj
mitted to a partnership in the finn,
the name being changed to Catron
and Spiess. In 1898, Mr.. Spiess was
appointed Territorial district attor-
ney for The district composed of the
Counties Of Santa Fe Taos Rio Arri,
ba and San Juan. He se"ved in that
position until he removed to Las
Vegas when he was appointed dis
trict attorney for the Fourth Judi
cial District in 1899 This Office he
held until 1903. He was elected mem
Der of the Legislative Council from
Santa Fe County in 1896, and repre-.
sented it in the 32nd Legislative AS,
sembly. He was also elected to the
Legislative Council from the San Mig,
uel County district twice, namely to
the 34th and 35th Assemblies. AS a
territorial official and as member
of the council, the record of Mr..
Spiess can justly be called brilliant.
AS district attorney he was uniformly
successful in prosecuting criminal
cases, success in such being the true
test of the fitness and efficiency of a
