AT the conclusion of the words of
tribute Judge Worthington said: The
court very cordially approves of the resp
lutions that have been presented by the
committee, and also heartily concurs
in and commends the eulogies that have
been so feelingly pronounced by the
several members of the bar.
''Mr. Levy was an highly respected
and esteemed member of this bar His
habits and department were exem-
plary. He was always polite, always
courteous, and always careful OF the
feelings OF others.
He was possessed of good judgment
and made therefore an excellent coun-
sellor. That he never achieved greater
distinction as an advocate was due to
his naturally shrinking disposition But
when he did appear before the court in
argument he spoke logically and forciblv.
Had he possessed greater self confidence
he would have made a more conspicuous
figure at the bar. AS it is he died eav.
ing behind him an enviable name for
honesty, for fidelity. for sincerity and
for absolute loyalty to those he served
