Excerpt from United States Reports, Vol. 235: Cases Adjudged in the Supreme Court at October Term, 1914 It gives me pain to say that since the court adjourned at the end of the last term it has come to pass that the nation may no longer enjoy the fruitful and beneficent results to arise from the continued enlightened and de voted discharge by mr. Justice lurton of his public duties. He died at Atlantic City on the 12th day of July. In addition to the sorrow which they share with their countrymen at so great a loss, the members of the Court have suffered the pang caused by the severance of the close personal ties which bound them to mr. Justice lurton; ties the strength of which cannot be fully appre ciated without understanding how completely his attain ments and his lovable traits of personal character com manded the respect and drew to him the warm afi'ection of those who had the privilege of being associated with him in the performance of his judicial duties.
