(Akron Beacon-Journal.)
In the death of William A. Lynch
of Canton, the bar has lost an able
member, Ohio a useful citizen and
society a valuable man.
DIED IN HARNESS.
He closed a life of great industry
as he had lived it,-in the harness
falling at his work and in the
midst of conflict, in which-as always
his adversary might count on sturdy
and swift blows, but equally upor
courteous treatment and absolute up
rightness of conduct.
HAD FEW EQUALS.
It is extremely doubtful whether
Ohio has in recent years had as wei
equipped and self-poised a lawyer n
all her courts as he. He was a
practitioner of the old type-courage
Gus, learned, tactful, completely bal
anced of attainment, jealous of the
good name of his profession, and the
soul of urbanity and fair dealing to
wards all with whom he came II
contact.
The railroads which gridiron th'
northern end of the state bear wit
ness to the indomitable perseverance,
with which, over great difficulties, hi
pushed many of them to completion
and along other industrial lines thu
marks of his energy and industry are
still clearly visible.
CALLING WAS LAW.
But II was in the field Of juris
prudence that Mr. Lynch found ample
scope and a more congenial calling
II he had confined his efforts to tha
singly, the close of his still not Ion!
| life would have left an enduring i'm
press upon the eloquence, the learn
ing, the good repute in which the Ohi'
bar In its history is so wealthy.
AS public-spirited citizen the com
munity of Canton has lost a power ant
influence for good that can be i
spared. Foremost in every pre-
gressiye movement in his neighboi
hood, posterity will look upon hi

The Canton board of trade passed
resolutions in memory of William A.
Lynch. in which the dead man is
warmly praised for his public spirit
and standard of citizenship. Extracts
from the resolutions follow:
William A. Lynch devoted the best
years of his life to the promotion of
enterprises that were for the good
and prosperity Of the city.
He was instrumental in building
what is known as the Cleveland divi-
sion of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad.
He installed. the original electric
light plant and purchased and great
ly improved the street car system.
He took great interest in the
building of the Auditorium and was
one of the trustees having the work
in charge.
THE fact that the Mckinley me-
mortal is being erected in Canton il
largely due to the efforts of William
A. Lynch in securing its location here
"He had planned and at the tins
of his death was working to secure
system of parks covering the West
Creek fats from South street to Lake
street.
william A. Lynch was a strong
man, possessed of invinci5le, mora
and physical courage, well-store'
mind, deep human sympathy and In
nate courtesy and kindness, the hap
by blending of which powers an'
traits of character made him not onl!
an orator. an advocate Of marke'
| ability, but a respected citizen and
beloved friend.
HE was the peer Of any lawyer liv
ing.
He was distinguished throughou
his career as a man Of unquestione'
integrity of character.

YOUNGSTOWN Vindicator.)

In the death Of William A. Lynch at
Lisbon on Wednesday there went out
of the world one of the strongest in
telligences that this generation has
produced in Ohio.
Lynch started in his professional
life as a lawyer at Canton with Presi-
dent Mckinley and Judge Day OF the
supreme bench of the United States
he was a partner of the latter for
many years-and there are many men
In Canton and elsewhere who knew
all three of these men well, who stout
ly insist that the intellectual powers
of Lynch were as great il not greater
than either of the others.
MATCHED McSWEENEY.
AS a young lawyer Lynch was the
only man in Eastern Ohio who was
considered a match for McSweeney
the great lawyer and orator OF Woos,
ter, then at the height of his fame and
power with a national reputation.
With remarkable facility of speech
was joined in him an incisiveness OF
expression, born of clear, strong think
ing and a rich native and acquired
equipment which often proved more
than equal to the more ornate buI
less penetrating quality of the oratory
of McSweeney.
l. HIS OWN MISTAKE.

cess Lynch left the law for business
life to which he was not adapted, and

MEMORIALS
Of the Bar Association
and the Canton Board
of Trade
ON DEATH OF LYNCH

The memorial Of the Bar associa-
ton Of Stark county commemorating
the death Of Attorney Lynch eulogizes
the dead attorneys memory in Ian
guage at once eloquent and apprecia-
tive of his great genius as a lawyer.
He was our most distinguished and
one of our best loved members"
states the memorial. The profession
al and business life of the dead at
torney is eloquently reviewed. In
part the memorial says:
"The Stark county bar deeply de-
plores the loss in William A. Lynch
of its most distinguished member.
During his busy, useful career he was
proud to number himself among the
attorneys of the Stark county bar.
Without eXaggeration it may be said
of William A. Lynch, that he was a
born lawyer His way was clear. In
the meagerness of his educational ad-
vantages, his example is not unlike
that of John Marshall. But this made
little difference. 1t is impossible to
conceive that a collegiate education
and law school training could Have ad-
ded anything to his powers and abil-
tiles as lawyer, or further refined
his susceptibilities or enhanced his
culture and universal and accurate in
formation.
His entire career together with
that of his illustrious friend, William
Mckinley, were both symbolized by the
utmost purity and refinement, scrup-
ulous dignity, in manner, in language,
in thought and in ambition; both were
remarkable and striking in personal
appearance inseparable in life and not
divided in death. William A. Lynch,
the lawyer, is a theme too large to
crowd it into a brief memorial.
Having this rare gift of genius and
possessed at the same time Of great
and commanding intellect, fine suscep-
! tibilities, love for humanity and with
al deeply religious nature, he be-
came a student, first. of the law. his
chosen profession, and secondly, OF
! the great and mighty avenues OF
thought and activity which the study
of law opens up to every rightly con-
stituted mind
But he was more than great law
yer. He was a great man.
He was an ardent Catholic, famil-
lar with the varying history and pro-
gress Of that great. church, and proud
of it's historic grandeur.
| He still remains and long will con-
tinue to remain our ideal lawyer, citi-
zen and friend and serve to convince
US, more and more, that our institu-
ton, our country, our state, oui
county, the community in which we
live are to be measured by the product
of their full orbed. well rounded, sym
metrical ideal man. such as our be.
loved deceased brother; that we car

ANDALUSIA JUDGE
MAJOR E. H. LEWIS GIVEN PLACE
 ON BENCH.
Governor Conner Names Him to Preside Over City Court In COvtngtOn County, Over Which There
 Was Contest.

Major B. H. Lewis. well known at- torney of Andalusia. was yesterday ap- pointed Judge of the City Court of An dalusia The appointment fills judi cial position created by the last Legis- lature. and ends rather spirited con- troversy for the position.
 Major Lewis was opposed for the place by w. M. Rankin, who is a well known attorney of the Wiregrass city in which the court is to be located.
 No announcement was made yester- day of the appointment of solicitor for the court. place which was also provided in the bill It is understood that there are two applicants for this position. M. Nk Whaley of Andalusia, and l., H .Brassell of Florala. The double contest has arounsed no little in- terest in Covington County and several delegations have come to Montgomery to see the Governor in the interest of the various candidates.
 The bill creating this court was in- troduced in the House of Representa- five Powell of CoVington, and when the administration leaders sought to have the bill so amended that instead of the Judge and the Solicitor being elected by the Legislature, they should be ap- pointed by the Governor, MT. Powell moved the tabling of both the bill and the amendment. but few days later reconsidered his action and let the amended bill go through.
 The Governor yesterday named J. 5. Mooring as Tax Commissioner of Cal houn County MT. Mooring Is well known citizen of Anniston.

'Ths District Attorney has . perfect right to call witnesses, including him self," replied Mir. Delmas.
 What fs the penalty involved if you are convicted on the pending indict- ments?" asked MT. Delmas of HummeL
 'rhe maximum penalty is i've years on each"
 Hummel Was Dssbarred.
 MT. Delmas next brought out from Hummel that he had been disbarred from practicing law in 1872 on charges of bribery. Hummel declared he was restored after two years. The wit ness admitted that he is now under suspension and petition for his dis barment is pending.
 Hummel was then excused and Abra- ham Snydecker, one of his clerks and notary, was called.
 Snydecker said that in company with Jacobsen, he had taken the original copy of the affidavit to the Madison Square Garden tower. where he was shown into an upper room. He handed the affidavit to Miss Nesbitt, who held it in her hand for five minutes. more or less, and then signed it. T asked her if she had read 1t, and she said yes" went on the witness. land then signed my name as notary"
 On cross-examination, Snydecker said he did not know whether the room in which the paper was signed was an office or e bed room--it had two chairs. he remembered
 Snydecker said he had never seen Evelyn Nesbitt before that evening or since.
 Snydecker was excused and District Attorney Jerome immediately rendered the copies in evidence.
 Mir. Delmas said he was not pre- pared to state whether or not the de- fense would offer any objection to ad- hitting the copies of the affidavit in evidence. He would like, however. to have the opportunity of examining the paper and consulting with his asso- ciates before committing himself, and therefore moved that an adjournment be taken until Monday morning.
 Whether shall object to this pa- per going in evidence" continued MT. Delmas. 'is debatable in my mind. Coming as 1t does in such questionable shape, am not sure but what it would be better to have 1t go in.'
 Justice Fitzgerald suggested that counsel should consult before Monday morning to see if they could agree on admitting only the material parts of the affidavit.
 Mir. Delmas said he thought if any of the paper went in 1t would all have to go in.
 Mir Jerome objected to adjourning notwithstanding the fact that the usual hour had arrived. He said that as soon as the matter of the affidavit was concluded the people would rest their case. He said he would like to get through today. MT. Jerome then ask ed MT Delmas if the defense would also rest after the afidavit Is admit ted or ruled out. MT. Delmas replied:
 "I can assure you most positively that wO will not rest !"
 Can you tell me how long you will require on sur -rebuttal?" asked Mfr. Jerome
 q can give you no estimate" said Mir. Delmas.
 will I have to prepare myself to cross examine any more learned ex- perts?"
 You doubtless will" concluded Mir. Delmas.
 Adjournment until Monday morning was then taken:
