Tenth Justice, rs, Supreme Court Reporter
For 20 Years, Retires From Associated Press
John T. Suter Ends
HoIf-century Career
As Capital Newsmon
By j, A, FOX.

John T. Suter, whose work as
Supreme Court reporter for the As
sociated Press was notable in the
news world over the span of two
decades, yesterday ended a news
paper career dating back more than
half century. The tenth Justice
a nickname devised by friends, has
Just turned IS.
A native of Washington, Mr.. Suter
was the product of an era on old
newspaper row" here when cub
reporters tended the fires as part
of their journalistic duties. His en-
tire newspaper life was spent in the
Capital-and as a fitting climax he
stepped out with notable news
scoops on the retirement of three
members of the Supreme Court, in
Guiding Chief Justice Hughes, fresh
in the minds of co-WorkerS.
Graduating from old Central High
at Seventh and P streets NV. young
Suter, the son of another John T.
! Suter. a cabinetmaker, at first en-
barked on a law career, and worked
| in the Office of patent attorney
while studying at Columbian Col
lege. But that was dull. and in 1885,
at the age of 10, he shelved Black
stone and found a place in bureau
operated at 513 Fourteenth street
NV. by William E. Curtis. corre-
spendent for Victor Lawsons Ohi-
| cago Daily News. and Perry g.
Heath, representative OF the In
dianapolis Journal, who later was
to become Postmaster General.
Unlike the present day, when the
tremendous volume of press mate
rial moves by wire, the service then
was mostly by mail, and the embryo
newsman's stint was the preparation
daily of 16 pages of news material
and in winter keeping the office
warm. The association Of Curtis
and Heath prospered. and eventually
there was too much work for the
third man." so the correspondents
tossed a coin for his services. and
young Suter became Mr.. Curtis

Aided Attorneys General.
Mr.. Lawson then was building up
| the Associated Press and also ex-
panding his newspaper holdings In
Chicago, and it was on the staff OF
his Record-Herald that Mr.. Suter
became a full-fledged newspaper
man, with membership in the con-
gressional press galleries.
Came 1913, and woodrow Wilson
assumed the presidency. Some OF
the Presidents advisers, as Mr. Suter
recalled yesterday. wanted a man
to handle publicity in the Justice
Department for Attorney General
James c. McReynolds-af
member of the Supreme Court-and
Mr. Suter was prevailed upon to
take the place temporarily" He
was there eight years, serving sue
cessively as secretary to Attorneys
General McReynolds, Gregory and
Palmer, and concluding his Govern
ment service as assistant chief in
charge of personnel of the Bureau Of
Investigation-now F.. B. I.
When the Harding administration
came into power, Mr. Suter re-enter-
ed newspaper work, was added to
the staff Of the Associated Press and

John T. Suter." Early in l94l,
when Justice James c. McReynolds,
last of the conservatives" who had
drawn the Rooseveltian ire, doffed
his robes, 1t marked the occasion of
another Suter beat. On June q
last, as the 1904 term ended, and
Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes
returned to private life, the same
thing happened again. On each
occasion. Justices Van Devanter and
McReynolds called Mr.. Suter to their

The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a decree for divorce a vim
culo matrimonii by the plaintiff,
Myrtle X. Coulbourne, from the de-
PENDANT, George I. Coulbourne.
The bill recites that the parties
were married on June 16, 1884; that
though the conduct of the plaintiff
has always been kind, affectionate
and above reproach, the defendant
has, without any just cause or reason,
abandoned and deserted the plaintiff,
and has declared his intention to
live with her no longer, and that such
abandonment has continued uninter-
ruptetdly for more than three years,
and is deliberate and final and the
separation of the parties beyond any
reasonable expectation of reconcilia-
ton; that the plaintiff has been a
resident of Worcester County, Mary
land, for more than two years past,
while the defendant is a nonresident
of this County and State, residing in
Sussex County, Delaware; and that
there are no children as issue of said
marriage.
It is, thereupon, ordered by the
OAASu1C OOuAI LUZ WOICSSCSE OOuHCy,
Maryland, in Equity, this 14th day
of January, 1941, that the plaintiff,
Myrtle K. Coulbuorne, by causing a
copy of this order be inserted in some
weekly newspaper published in Wor-
cester County, Maryland, once in
each of four successive weeks before
the 18th day of February, 1941, give
notice to the said absent defendant,
George T. Coulbourne, of the object
and substance of this bill, warning
him to be and appear in this court, in
person Or by solicitor, on or before
the 4th day of March, 1941, to show
cause, if any he has, why a decree
ought not to be passed as prayed.
