Maj. Holmes Conrad, seventy-five years
old, constitutional lawyer, solicitor
general of the United States during the
second Cleveland administration, and
since that day one of the most familiar
figures before the bar of the United
States Supreme Court, died here yes
terday afternoon of hardening of the
arteries, following a long illness.
Maj. Conrad's health had been fail
ing for months. His death had been
expected daily for the last eight
weeks, close friends say, who declare
that had it not been for his indomita-
BILE mental strength and unflinching
courage he would have died long ago.
He was known by nearly every per-
son in Winchester, and addressed by
all as major and was almost as well
known in Washington, D. C. AS solicit
tor general of the United States, and
later assistant attorney general. he
handled a large number of important
cases for the government, one of the
most noted and intricate being the
Potomac flats case. After retiring from
the government service he continued
