Field, had an equal length of service.
1t is a point worthy of note that most
Of the members Of the court were not
greatly distinguished in other fields.
They were not politicians, though
some Of them had been senators and
cabinet officers. For the most part
they have been lawyers pure and sim
pie, men chosen for learning and char
acter The last two chief justices,
Waite and Fuller, had scarcely held
any position prior to their appoint
ment. OF many Of the associate JUS
tees the same is true. One looks
among them almost in vain for names
highly distinguished outside Of law
reports Bushrod Washington of Vir-
ginia, who served thirty-one years, we
recognize because he was Washing
ton. John Mclean of Ohio and Philip
P. Barbour Of Virginia stir some faint
recollection of connection with the
government or politics or something.
Anyway, we have heard Of them. Da-
vid Davis we know from his connec
ton with lincoln and Lucius @. G. La
mar and some others from their sery-5
Ice in the cabinet or in congress. Some,
like Joseph Story, we recognize as emf
nent law writer's, but with most of
them their sole title to fame-and they
could scarcely have higher-is that
they were members of the United
States supreme court

and small group of people who may

space set apart for the public.
Woman's Defense Outlined.
1t is stated unofficially that the line
Of Nine. Steinheil's defense will be
that she cannot have had hand in
the double murder; that there was no
possible motive for completely in it, di-
rect or Indirect; that from a pecuniary
point of view the death of her mother
and her husband could only leave her
in straitened circumstances, while,
from the point of view of her personal
liberty, their disappearance was of no
advantage to her.
Nine. Japy and NJ. Steinheil were
murdered, as Investigations prove, as
they were getting out of bed or after
they had got out.
This disposes of the accusation that
they had been drugged, and Nine.
Steinheil, according to the defense,
could not have overcome them alone.
Moreover, it is declared, finger prints
on the glassware and other objects
prove that several people were impli-
Gated in the crime.
Story Of Double Murder.
On the morning Of May 81, 1908,
Adolphe Steinheil, an artist, was found
strangled in his bed. In the next room
his mother-in-law, Nine. Japy, was
similarly slain. In another room Nine.
StoinhoiI wac found 90 prnd opd hound
The only other person in the house
was Remy Couillard, the valet, who
released Nine. Steinheil.
The latter declared at once that she
had been bound and gagged by three
men and a woman, who she thought
might have been her husbands models.
She said that she had been robbed of
all her jewelry.
The police were able to make no
Roadway in the case, and then Nine
Steinheil declared that she would track
down the murderers herself.
After she had run down several in
offensive persons, who easily proved
alibis, she accused Couillard. the valet.
In his pocketbook was found pearl
taken from ring in the list given by
Nine. Steinheil to the police as among
the stolen jewelry. Couillard denied
that he had stolen the pearl.
Then jeweler declared that Nine.
Steinheil had brought the ring to him,
asked him to melt it and give the pearl
back to her, which he had done.
Blamed Another Innocent Man.
She confessed that this was true 81
put the pearl in Couillard's pocket"
she sobbed, ito shield another, whose
name must not mention. love him,
and he has Stunned me. have foully
Wronged Remy. The man was Alex
ander Wolff"
The latter promptly proved an alibi,
and Nine. Steinheil admitted that she
had made a mistake. Then she was
arrested
Nine. Steinheil before her marriage
was Marguerite Japy, daughter of re-
spectacle people. She married NJ.
Steinheil because she wanted to go to
Paris and mingle in the gay world
there. Soon after her marriage she be-
came notable figure in the high po-
litical and judicial society of the cap
ital. It has been asserted that she was
implicated in the death Of Felix Faure,
president. of France, who died sudden.

A Definition Of the Court.

Horace Binney once defined our
court of final appeal in this way:
''The supreme court of the United
States is the august representative Of
the wisdom and justice and conscience
of this whole people in the exposition
of their constitution and laws. 1t is
the peaceful and venerable arbitrator
between citizens in all questions touch
ing the extent and sway Of constitu-
tiOnal power. 1t is the great moral
substitute for force in controversies
between the people, the state and the
Union"
1t is an inspiring reflection that S0,-
100000 people instead Of resorting to
war and contention leave their dis
puted questions to the arbitration Of
nine learned, gentle and dignified old
gentlemen whose finding commands
the almost instant acquiescence Of the
whole nation.
How true it is that this is govern
ment of law and not of men! The su-
preme court is the symbol Of the law
It interprets the regulations that So
ciety makes and applies them to the
Individual members Of society. 1t is
the impersonal voice Of justice. Equi-
ty, right. truth, wisdom, are the lights
that guide it's steps. Removed as far
as may be from passions, factions,

commerce and personal desires, assail-
ed not by ambitions or fears, clamors
or temptations, it is in an ideal posi-
ton to stand for the supremacy of the
law and to uphold the public good as
against private interest. The Ameri-
can people look at it in this light, and
as nearly as they have made fetch
Of anything they make it Of their SUI
preme court. The president they cheer
or abuse, call him by his first name or
by shorter and uglier one. Congress
they vituperate and on occasion bias
pheme But the supreme court is set
apart in their minds. Some of them
may disagree with one or another of
its decisions, but the disagreement is
accompanied by no disrespect. Peo-
pie do not think Of applauding or abus-
ing it, Of taking liberties with the
names of its members, Of cartooning
it, of making it the butt Of jokes or
rldicule. Though the salaries Of it's
members are comparatively small and
though it's work is exacting, the most
eminent men are willing to give up
leisure, comfort and princely incomes
to be honored in it's service No Won
der that Judge Taft turned from his
dream Of it with a sigh, even though
he turned to the power and distinction
of what is perhaps the most conspicu-
GUS position now on earth
Only Eight Chief Justices.
Since its inception under President
Washington the supreme court Of the
United States has had eight chief JUS
tees and ffty-four associate Justices.
Perhaps technically there have only
been seven chief justices, as John Rut-
ledge was not confirmed by the senate,
although he sat for short time be-
fore congress convened. The other
chief justices were John Jay, Oliver
Ellsworth, John Marshall, Roger B.
fancy, Salmon p Chase, Morrison R.
Waite and Melville w. Fuller The
most distinguished of the list and the
one with the longest term Of service
was John Marshall, who was in Office
thirty-four years. Two associate JUS
tees, Joseph Story and Stephen ].

Courts Impressive Opening.


Most writer's in describing this body
call it an august tribunal 1t has
been quite task to keep from ringing
in that hackneyed and bromide
phrase. Well, the supreme court is
august. All that is needed to realize
the fact is to attend one Of it's ses-
sions. A few minutes before noon
silken ropes are stretched from the
robing room to the chamber, and be-
tween these ropes the justices advance
in solemn procession. Chief Justice
Fuller is the smallest one of the num-
Der and Harlan, walking Immediately
behind Fuller, the largest. Then come
Brewer Of Kansas, who is the orator
of the court; White, who was once
Democratic senator from Louisiana;
McKenna, who was McKinley's attor
ney general; Holmes, who was named
for his poet father, Oliver Wendell
Holmes; Day. who was for short
time secretary of state under McKin-
ley, and Moody, who was secretary of
the navy and attorney general in the
cabinet of Theodore Roosevelt. Be
fore his death Justice Peckham walked
between White and McKenna. Most
of the justices are smooth Of face, al
though Fuller and Holmes have mus
taches and NIcKenna closely cropped
beard. Despite his shortness of stat
ure, the chief justice is an impressive
figure, with his literal name of snow
white hair and fine and scholarly face.
He was born in Maine in 1888 and was
educated in Bowdoin and Harvard
For a time he was editor of a Demo
cratic paper and was president of the
Augusta council and city solicitor. He
then went to Chicago and became one
of the city's leading lawyers. He serv-
ed for short time in the legislature
and was several times delegate to
Democratic national conventions. Mr..
Fuller has been chief justice since
1888.
John Marshall Harlan was born in
Kentucky in the same year as the
chief justice. He was educated in the
colleges of his own state, was a Union
colonel in the war, was candidate for
congress and governor, delegate to Re-
publican national conventions, member
Of the Louisiana commission and be-
came a justice of the supreme court
in 1877. Despite his age, Justice Har
Ian is an enthusiastic golf player.
David Josiah Brewer was born in
Asia Minor, where his father was
missionary. He is nephew of the
famous Field brothers, David Dudley,
Cyrus w. and Stephen j. Field, who
was himself supreme justice He is
Yale graduate and began the prac-
tice Of law in Kansas, where he was
judge, going from the district to the
state supreme court. He was pro-
noted to the federal supreme bench in
1889.
