MAY 3, 1873.

Ogden Hoffman, who has been called
the most consummate criminal law
yer America ever produced was COM
pleting his course at Columbia College.
New York, when the war of lSl2 broke
out. Hoffman wanted TO JOIN the navy,
and in spite Of his family's protests
he managed to enlist. He was assigned
TO the President, and served under the
famous Commodore Decatur. was tax
en- prisoner with him, and released ~
the same time. After the close OF the
war he stuck with his superior and
served in the fights against the cor
sairs of AIgiers and Tunis in tire
Mediterranean. After about four year:
of sea life he decided he wanted to go
back and study law. Decatur argued
with him. promised MIN a career on
the ocean, and asked MIN why ne
wanted to exchange an honorable
profes sion for that of lawyer"
Nevertheless Hoffman returned 10
college and took up law. was admitted
to the bar elected to congress and
finally made attorney general OF New
York. He developed manner that was
polished. suave and courteous, which
seems TO have been unusual In Grim
inal lawyers of that day. for it was
remarked Of him that he never resort
ed to bullying or brow beating wit
nesses nor any other professional tao
tics" He was born in New York City
