Y. City the underground railroad recently completed: when the Appellate Division Court House
was formally opened. he responded to the speeches of the Bar; in 1900, preferring the more in- teresting work of the civil and criminal courts, at his own request he was re- lieved of the assignment to the Appellate Division and returned to his Supreme Court duties: in his younger days he achieved a high reputation as a man of letters, and one of his plays; An Amer- ican Marriage, was produced at Wallack's Theatre in December, 1883; he is a mas- ter of English, and his early literary
