The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-10-26

Senate from the 18th district, this time receiving the Democratic en- dorsernent although the interests he had so consistently opposed, sought to prevent both his nomination and elec-s ton. But maintaining, the same posi- ton he had taken from his Hrst term in the Senate, Senator Judson. still con- tinued to be a thorn in the side of those who had opposed him.
 Tn his private practice as an attor- ney he was the friend of the poor and needy and 1t is known that he accept ed many claims against big corpora tions, taking from his poor clients but a nominal retainer An example of tbis was his conduct of the damage claim suits for hundreds of property owners here when the railroad viaduct was built.
 On January 24, 1908. Attorney Jud-. son was appointed states attorney for F'airfeld county to fill the une0pired term Of iSampel Fessenden of StaIn- ford who died after having served 27 years in that office. The appointment was made by Judge William S. Case Of the superior court and was in the exercise Of his prerogative when he came to hold court here The ap- pointment held until the annual meet ing of the supenior court judges on the first enday in June, when Attor- nev Jtrdson was again appointed for a term of two years. He was subse- ul1ently reappointed as states attor- 1 ney. and Svas serving his third term 1n the office when by his own request, he was relieved from the duties of the office on March 30, 1914
 The partnership of Carheld, Judson & Pullman was by mutual agreement dissolved in 1909, because MT J17d- sons duties as state's attorney re- cruired so much of his time that he could give but little to his private law practice or the business of the firm. | when Attorneys Canfie1d and J41dsor i had first established their partnership | they had offices in the Franklin bufld- ing. Later the offices of CanfeId, Jud-
 son & Pullman were In the Fidelity building at State and Broad streets. l After the dissolution of Athe firm the partners maintained offices together in the same building until Janta1-y oi 1 this year when Attorney Judson re- l moved his offices to the City Savings Bank building and thereafter contin- liued by himself.
