HISTORY OF THE BENCH AND BAR.


ARTHUR DAGGETT MCCLELLAN, son of John and Anna I. (Daggett) Mcclellan, was born in Sutton, Mass., May 21, 1850. He is descended from James McClellan, who came to New England with a company of Scotch Irish and settled in Worcester about 1718. Samuel, a brother of James, was the ancestor of General George B. McClellan. lle was educated at the Worcester Academy and at Brown University, where he graduated in 1873. While holding good rank in his class he was especially distinguished during his college course as an athlete. He was one of the freshmen crew of 1870 which won the race on Lake Quinsigamond, near Worcester, over the competing crews of Harvard, Yale and Amherst. His physical development was considered so nearly perfect that in boating circles he gained and bore for many years the name of the " little giant." In October, 1873, he entered the law office of Bacon & Aldrich in Worcester, the firm consisting of Peter C. Bacon and P. Emery Aldrich, the latter of whom was in the same year appointed to the bench of the Superior Court, and was succeeded in the firm by W. S. B. Hopkins, who had at that time attained distinction as an advocate. While a student Mr. McClellan reported the Court proceedings for the Worcester Gazette, and his labors as a reporter, which were highly commended, served to educate him in the methods and practice of his profession and furnish to him valuable aid in his preparation for a legal career. In October, 1874, he removed to Boston and entered the law office of Charles H. Drew and Albert Mason, the former of whom is the justice of the Police Court of Brookline, and the latter the chief justice of the Superior Court. He finished his law studies with a year's course in the Boston University Law School, and was admitted to the Suffolk bar in June, 1875. After his admission he began practice in the office of Drew & Mason, but soon after formed a partnership with Charles C. Barton and George S. Forbush, under the title of Barton, Mcclellan & Forbush. Two years later Mr. Forbush left the firm and its name became Barton & McClellan and so con- tinued for five years. In the autumn of 1886 he originated the idea of having the short lists of all the courts in the county published daily and circulated each afternoon among subscribers at the bar. He began the publication of the Daily Law Bulle- tin soon after, containing the short lists for the next day, giving the names of the parties to suits, of the counsel on both sides, a brief report of the trials of the day, the finding of the court or the verdict of the jury, as the case might be. At a later day the scope of the Bulletin was enlarged by adding the trials of the United States Courts and the courts of Middlesex county, and by adding chattel and real estate mortgages, rescripts, etc. This Law Bulletin was the first of its kind, but its plan was soon after adopted in many places in other States. Mr. McClellan became in- terested at the same time in the publication of the Banker and Tradesman, a weekly issue containing full information concerning transfers and mortgages of real and personal estate in all the counties of the State, but an enlarging law practice in- duced him to relinquish his interest in both that and the Bulletin to parties who have continued their publication. In his general practice, which has been large and satisfactorily lucrative, he has achieved merited distinction, being especially success_ ful in the organization of corporations and the direction of their legal and financial affairs. For five years he was secretary of the Boston Art Club, and was one of the active founders of the University Club. He is a director in the Traders' National Bank and other corporations, but does not permit the obligations which they impose

on him to seduce him from a profession which he continues to practice with interest and zeal. He married, October 9, 1882, in New York city, Mary A. Hartwell, widow of Charles A. Hartwell and daughter of Timothy Townsend, and has his resi- dence at the Hotel Vendome in Boston.


GODFREY MORSE, son of Jacob and Charlotte Morse, was born in Wachenheim, Bavaria, May 19, 1846. At the age of eight years he came to America with his mother, and received his early education in the Boston public schools. He graduated at Harvard in 1870 and at the Harvard Law School with the degree of LL. B. in 1872. His law studies were completed in the office of Brooks & Ball in Boston, and he was admitted to the Suffolk bar July 22, 1873. While preparing himself for his profession he taught, during some of the winter months, English literature and arithmetic in the Boston Evening High School. He was admitted to practice in the United States Circuit Court October 2, 1874, and in the United States Supreme Court at Washington February 3, 1879. He was a member of the Boston School Committee in 1876-77-78, and of the Boston Common Council in 1882-83, serving in the latter year as president of the Board. In 1882-83-84 he was assistant counsel of the United States in the Court of Commissioners of Alabama Claims, and on the 11th of March, 1885, he was appointed a member of the Board of Commisioners for the erection of the new court-house for the city of Boston and the county of Suffolk. In 1887 he was chosen a member of the Board of Trustees of the Boston Dental College, and is now, in connection with his other professional work, acting as attorney of the American Surety Company of New York. Mr. Morse is a brother of the late Leo- pold Morse, and possesses many of those traits which won for that gentleman the confidence and respect of the community. He is engaged in an active and growing general practice which he conducts with an energy and fidelity deserving the success which he has achieved.


WALTER ADAMS, son of C. S. Adams, graduated at Harvard in 1870, and studied law with his father in Framingham, and in the office of Henry W. Paine and Robert D. Smith in Boston, and is practicing in Boston. He married, May 25, 1885, at West River, Md., Constance, daughter of Rev. Thomas Weld Winchester. He resides in Framingham.


JOHN HANNAN COLE graduated at Harvard in 1870 and at the Harvard Law School in 1872, and was admitted to the Suffolk bar in December, 1873, and to the bar in New York in October, 1874.

In 1880 he withdrew from the firm of Gray & Daven- port and has since practiced alone in New York. He married, September 26, 1877, Lucy May Smith, of New York, who died January 24, 1882. He married second, June 11, 1885, in Oxford, England, Josephine Mellvaine Hewson. He resides in New York.
