PROMINENT TAMMANY MAN.
For 80 Years Justice o'Gorman Was Re-
garded as Foremost Orator.

James A. 0Gorman has long been
one of the most prominent members of
Tammany hall He has been one of its
foremost orators for 30 years having
established his reputation as al public
speaker in the interests of the political
organization when, at the age of 81,
his eloquence was credited with hay,
ing saved doubtful Assembly district
for the Democrats.
Mr.. 0Gorman was born on the low
err west side of New York City, May 5,
1860, and is therefore not yet 81 years
old. He married Anne NJ. Leslie in
this city on January 2, 1884 They
have nine children, seven daughters and
two sons.
After finishing course in the pub
lie schools, Mr.. O'Gorman, as a lad of
II, entered the college of the city of
New York, where he obtained an aca-
demic training From there he went to
the university of New York Law school,
was graduated and admitted to the bar
in 1882.
He began building up a law practice
with rapid success. From the time he
cast his first vote he had aligned hiin-
self with Tammany hall, so that before
he was out of law school, his services
as an orator were in demand. Tammany
favored him generally In 1893 he was
elected justice of the municipal court.
He continued active in every Tammany
campaign and in 1899 he was elected
justice of supreme court for term
of IA years from January /, 1900. His
salary as such has been $l7 500, or
almost three times what he will re.
ceive as a United States senator
Since 1885, Mr. 0'Gorman has been
member of the general committee of
Tammany hall, the controlling body of
the organization In 1902 he was chos-
en- grand sachem OF the Tammany
society, defeating Mayor Van Wyck for
the position.
/ The new senator is a member of the
Law institute, the MedicoLegal society,
Catholic club, Friendly Sons Of st. Pat
rick, New York Athletic club, Cham
plain club, Royal Arcanum and other
organizations. He has received the hon
orary degree of doctor of laws from the
college Of st. Thomas of Villa Nova,

Prosecutor Secures Another Indictment

Cox's legal forces, which since Febru,
AIRY 81, with apparent success have
been waging war of techncalities
against the Indictment charging the
fnancier and Republican leader with

The grand jury on the eve of its
mastering out returned a fresh indict-
ment against Cox charging perjury. On
this true bill prosecuting Attorney

a change of venue from Judge German
and as a consequence Cox faces the
prospects of being forced into an open
fight in the courts of Clermont coun-

sham's attention had been called to
its methods of business, The assoeia-

assistant attorney general to present
an informal statement of its methods
to the department of justice. When all
was finished, the attorneys understood,
tacitly, at least, that there was appar-
emily nothing in the business OF the

which could be construed as coming un-
der any of OF the laws on the statute

from day to day since Monday.
AT the close OF a day marked by al
most continued negotiations between the
Democratic factions, the insurgents fin
ally eapitulated and Justice O'Gorman's
election was accomplished. A few min
