DITTENHOEFER, Abram Jesse:


Lawyer; born Charleston, S. C .; edu- cated in public schools and Columbia Col- lege; at twenty-one admitted to the Bar; at twenty-two he was selected by the Republican party as its candidate for justice of the City Court, and some years thereafter was appointed a judge by Gov- ernor Fenton; upon the expiration of his term he declined a renomination; while on the bench he gave his entire salary to the widow of his predecessor, who had been left in destitute circumstances; del- egale to the Republican convention that nominated President Hayes; though a Southerner by birth, Judge Dittenhoefer indentified himself with the Republican party and served as chairman of the Ger- man Republican Central Committee for twelve successive councils of the party. As a lawyer the judge has gained a high reputation; his services have been re- quired in every branch of the legal pro- fession; has been conspicuous in litiga- tions relating to the law of the stage, and is recognized as an authority in that branch of the law; for nearly fifty years


a controversy raged between the U. S. and England as to the right to try a person for a different crime than the one for which he was extradited. England insisted that this could not be done, while the U. S. contended that the right existed. In the case against one Raus- cher, Judge Dittenhoefer, appearing for the defendant, who was extradited for murder on the high seas, but subsequent- ly tried and convicted for cruel and inhuman punishment of a seaman, moved for a dismissal of the latter charge on the ground that Rauscher was not extradited therefor. The lower courts decided against him, but the Supreme Court of the U. S., on appeal taken by him, reversed the


crime for which he was extradited. This decision has become of international importance and since then the principle has been embodied in the extradition treaties with the U. S. He was origi- nally assigned by the court to look after the interests of Rauscher, who was a poor mate of an American vessel, and became so interested in the important questions that he consented to carry on the pro- ceedings to their final determination, without reciving any compensation. He was counsel in the criminal prosecution of the parties indicted in the importation of Japanese silks, and gained conspicuous success in defeating the application made by the heirs of Richard Wagner to en- join the Metropolitan Opera House from producing Parsifal. He is also the coun- sel for Frank A. Barnaby and the other directors of the Knickerbocker Steamboat Co. in the indictments growing out of the "General Slocum" disaster in the summer of 1904.
