at His Home in New York-Hat
| Attained Ninety Years-Was One
Time Congressman From Virginia
New York, March. 15-Roger At.
tkinson Pryor, former justice of the
New York Supreme Court and famous
as a soldier in the Confederate army,
died at his home here last night at
the age of ninety years.
Justice Pryor had been i'll for sew
eral weeks. A week ago pneumonia,
which was the immediate cause of his
death, set in.
Judge Roger A. Pryor was the last
survivor of the firing on Fort Sumter
He outlived the thousands of parti-
cipants on both sides of the historic
conflict.
Offered the distinction of firing the
first shot that was to preclpitate the
War Between the States, he declined
81 could not fire the first gum nc
said. The distinction thus fell to Ed
mund Ruffin.
As a young Congressman and news
paper editor at thirty-two years OF
age, Pryor's ringing speeches IN Ia
vor of State rights aroused his native
Virginia. The State was hesltatlng on
the point of secession when "the elo-
uuent tribune of Virginia" as Horace
Greeley called him rose before an as
semblage of constituents and thund-
"Strike one blow ard Virginia will
secede in an hour by Shrewsbury
clock!"
Born in Dinwiddie County, Va, in
1928, he was only thirty-seven years
old when he faced life anew. He had
served in the historic Thirty-siXth
Congress. AS special commissioner
under President Pierce, at the age OF
twenty-eight, he had forced Greece to
release Jonas King, the celebrated
missionary from prison, and refund to
him $4,000.
