admitted to the bar.
Since December g. 1901, he has
practiced law in Denton, Nd, his

an extensive practice that it was
said when he was elected to Con-
gress in 1920 that he had tried more
cases than any other lawyer in
Maryland at his age. His practice
was not only in all the courts of the
Eastern Shore but also in Balti-
more, Wilmington, Philadelphia, New
York, Chicago and Detroit. He has
one of the finest private law libraries
in Maryland.
His only other public Office before
being elected to Congress was that
of States attorney for Caroline
| County from 1904 to 1903.
Mr.. Goldsborough was married in
1909 to MOS Laura Collins Hall of
Milford, Del, and they have four
children, Mrs. Heath B. Goldsbor-
ough Of Baltimore, Mrs. Clarence
Cough of Washington, T. Alan
Goldsborough. jr., Of Washington
and George H. Goldsborough, a
senior at Cornell University.
