LOUIS HOOD TO
RESIGN OFFICE
OF PROSECUTOR
Accepts the Position of General
Counsel to Fidelity Trust
Company.

Announcement was made today by
by Uzal H. McCarter, president of the
Fidelity Trust Company. that Prose-
cutor Louis Hood has accepted an
offer to become general counsel of the
Fidelity. 1t is expected that Mr.. Hood
will assume his new duties about July
1 next, and that in the meantime
his successor as prosecutor will be
named by Governor Fielder.
In making the announcement of Mr..
Hoods appoint tment as the Fidelity's
general counsel. President McCarter
explained that the prosecutor will sue
ceed the late Samuel w. Beldon,
who lat the time of his death last No
vember had been at the head of the
,institutior's legal department for
eleven years. AS general counsel to
the company, Mr.. Hood will be one of
it's senior officers, and in all probable
ity a member of its board of directors.
He will be. the institutions chief legal
adviser in matters arising in its trust,
bond, title, mortgage, savings, bank
ing and safe deposit departments, Mr..
McCarter said, and as a director of
the company he will have a voice and
a vote in all it's diversified activities.
Formally Accepted.
Our offer to Mr.. Hood" explained
Mr. McCarter, was made several
weeks ago. Since then he has had the
matter under consideration and now
he has formally accepted the appoint
ment. AS you can readily understand
the position of general counsel in a
company like this is one of great i'm
portance and responsibility and in
obtaining Mr.. Hoods services we
deem ourselves particularly for
tunate."
Aside from saying that the Fidelity
appointment was very .fiattering and
that his new duties will be such as TO
require not only the surrender of the
prosecutorship, but the abandonment
of his private practise, Mr.. Hood de.
clined to discuss the matter. In an
swer to a question, however, he said
he had informed Governor Fielder of
his intention to resign the office of
prosecutor.
1t is doubtful if any lawyer in the
State Is better known or stands
higher in his profession than Mr..
Hood. While his official duties have
been entirely confined to the criminal
courts, his large private practise en-
braced work in the civil and chancery
courts of the State. and on more than
one occasion necessitated his appear
ance before the United States Su-
preme Court and its branches.
Who his successor as prosecutor
will be is a matter of conjecture. 1t
Is understood that the governor has
several Essex county lawyers under
consideration for the place, and it is
thought he may make an appointment
before Mr.. Hood gives up his official
duties.
The announcement of Mr.. Hood S
resignation astonished Court House
attaches, but as soon as the astonish-
ment had abated gossip as to his sue
cessor was heard. The name men
toned first and most prominently in
the talk was that of Judge Harry ".
Osborne.

the number of people that pass certain

The Grand Army of the Republic
was originally organized by DR.. B. F.
Stephenson Of Springfield, ILL.,, who
organized the first G. A. r. post, at
Decatur, III. in April, 1856. A little
later he organized post No. at
Springfield. The organization Of 9TH
er posts followed rapidly throughout
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and Mis-
souri,. The first department encamp-
ment was held, on July II. 1866, at
Springfield, ILL.,, at which, Gen. John
M. Palmer was elected department
commander. .~
DR.. Stephenson had been a major in
the army and was recognized as the
founder Of the order. He assumed
charge Of the organization of posts in
other states and issued orders as COM
mander-i chief. The organization
extended rapidly to all the northern
states. On Oct. 81, DR.. Stephenson
issued a call for national conven-
ton, which was held at Indianapolis
on Nov. 20 of that year, and was at
tended by representatives from nearly
all the northern states in the union,
at which time, Gen. Stephen A. Hurl-
but of Illinois was elected commander
in-chief. From that time to this, the
national encampments Of the Grand
Army of the Republic have been not
able events, and when held at some
southern point as at Chattanooga last
year, the confederate veterans re-
ceived the union veterans with open
arms and the once contending forces
fraternized like brothers.
