From what I have learned of Mr. Murrell I am certainthat if his appointment as Assistant State's Attorney be confirmed,he will fully measure up to the requirements of that very exactingposition. I trust that your Honorable Body will see fit to takesuch action.

Gentlemen;

Last spring, one of your members asked me if I wouldserve on the Grand Jury* and after acme discussion, I agreed to servo*Some weeks ago, this honorable gentlsmon told me - with some embarass-ment, - that I was not eligible for jury service having learned thatI was over seventy years of age. I am not sure that he told me thatthis was a ruling Df the Bench, or that it was a matter of law, but asseventy years is not a disability, I feel sure that it must be a rulingof the Bonoh.

You have known me for a great many years, and I am sureyou know whether or not I have the neoessary qualifications to serve asa Juror. If you fool that I am competent to act in thia capacity, Iwont to serve bocause I am one of those perverse individuals that alwayswants to do the thing that be is told he can't do, so I am asking you totake this matter up with your Board and have them deoide the question.

Waiting to hoar from you, I am,

relative to aervice by you on the Grand Jury.

I should unhesitatingly vote for your selection, notwith-

standing t^e fact thnt you are more than three score years

and ten.

I shall take a great deal of pleasure in sendine in your

name as one of my nominations, and will present your letter

to my associated on the Benoh when the Jaauery 1946 Grand

Jury shall be selected.

With kind personal regards and best wishes, I am,

Dear Mr. West:

The Grand Jury for the January Term 1946 was seleoted by the

Supreme Benoh today.

It was my pleasure to nominate you, and In connection there-

with I read to the Benoh your letter to me of October 10th

and my reply thereto of Ootbber 11th.

There were many splendid expressions of high respeot for you

as a man and a public spirited citizen, and no-one oan, in any way,

question your ^ualitioations to serve well as a Grand Juror, but

the Benoh felt that it was inadvisable to break a long established

precedent of not naming to the Grand Jury men who had passed

their 70th birthday. The statute gives an exemption to men over

70, but does not disqualify them.

I regret very rau<^ that I was unable to seoure your seleotion

aa a member of the next Grand Jury.

With kind personal regards, I am,

Slnoerely,

And so It was tlmt the pawing of theyears brought to Judge Hnrlnn no lea-rn ing In his «s t for life, or In his.engerness in find out now ways of helng |useful, of undergoing new experiences,of learning now thing*, nnd of ncqnlr-Inn ncn- quo If dent Ions that he might addto his unnsnnlly Inrge repertoire of use-,ftil roles.

The Psalmist says, "Mark the perfectnn. and hchoiil the upright; for thonl of thnt man Is peace." Or no other

...nu who has lived for generations InMaryland, can It be said thnt thin bin-Kuflgc convoyed a more appropriate de-scription. We realize that perfectionIs always to he sought, hut U never tohe fully attained. Tlie limiHatilo lackif enough of suitable opportunities undif I lie never yet-obvlnted ex U to nee ofnadequacies In humnn nature will nl-vays iirobably be obstacles In tlio way-if the attainment to tbe full of per-fection. The Psalmist In his sagacityrenllred that fact. He knew, howerer,that n few men and women attain truchnn extraordinarily high degree of de-velopment, thnt It Is appropriate tonscrlhc to Uicra the term perfection.Whatever may be tho technical or meta-physical obstacles to reaching perfec-tion, certainly we ore all fully In Accorditb the statement that of no man whoa» Ilred In Marynlnd far many years

can it lie said tlie term perfect Is moresuitable or appropriate than It Is ofHenry David Marian.

The Psalmist concludes, "tbe end ofmt mnn is peace." To our sorrow weinst rcullxe that language of termina-

tion Is necessary In describing theearthly career of Ilenry Dnvii) Harbin,lie died, universally respected, nnd he-

hy everyone with whom bo camentnet. Most assuredly It Is true,

thnt None know thee but to love thec,one named Ihee bnt to praise!Although Judge Hurl an will no longer• ivltli us in personal contact nnd asso-

It hott been said of Judge Alvey(when Iw was ripe In years nnd wle-doni) that bin august presence on theBench left n deep I in press Inn on llioscwho nnw him.

Sometimes he would Inter-iJeet pointed (mentions. Frequently,[after argument* he would dlvjHvse of;!n ense front tbe Bench In a mnctse,' well-considered oral opinion. Hut he!ncrcr Incurred Bo con's dictum thnt "nu' nrer-nneakfng judgo IH no lrcll tunedcymbal." In- Jndgo Flarlan Judiclnt

It combined character,fchiirni or personality, n loclcal mindI'and a seme of proporiloti, and It wnfunlllei] by a deep nnd atildlnp religionsfnlth. Of Judge Bnrlnn ran 1K> saidwhat Dnulcl Webster said of John'Jny: "Vilicn tbe spoUciu crmitic ofHit- Judicial robe fell on John Jny.It touched nntbiug lent tpatlcss thuuluelf."

In a Judge character Include* notonly moral Integrity lIntegrity.

1 COMM1TTKM*

The Bar Associationof

Baltimore City

April 8f 1944.

Hon. Samuel K. Dennis, Chief Judge,Supreme Bench of Baltimore City,Court House,Baltimore-2, Maryland.

Dear Judge Dennis:

The Bar Association of Baltimore City receivedan inquiry from the Legislative Council of the State ofMarylend whether the Association had any objections orcriticisms relative to the rules adopted by the Court ofAppeals of Maryland, and requesting that we make Knownany changes which the Association thinks should be madein these rules*

At the regular stated meeting of the Bar Assooia-tion held at the Southern Hotel on Tuesday of this weeka resolution was offered that the Bar Association of BaltimoreCity recommend to the Legislative Counoil that Rule 6 ofpart three (rules applicable to law only) of these rulesdesignated as "Instructions to the Jury", be rescindedand in lieu thereof that a rule be adopted to provide forthe granting of written instructions or prayers by the Courtin all oases tried by a Jury, in accordance with the pro-cedure which existed prior to the adoption of said GeneralRules of Practice and Procedure. The resolution was notacted upon at the meeting and will probably come up fordisoussion and consideration at the next meeting of the BarAssociation*

There are many lawyers who complain about the lackof consistency of the practice as it now exists in thevarious Courts in Baltimore City, and at the meeting Tuesdaynight a suggestion was made that we take the matter up withthe Supreme Benoh of Baltimore City to determine whether ornot it would be possible for some rule to be adopted to makethe practice uniform. Some Judges want written instructionsand will not charge the jury on the law in certain oasesunless written instructions are prepared and submitted tothe Court. Other Judges do not rule on the written prayersafter counsel has gone to a great deal of trouble in theirpreparation* I am informed that in addition to the lack ofuniformity regarding the different Judges, that some Judgeswant prayers in some oases and don't want prayers in otheroases, 60 that the lawyer does not know what he should doin the preparation of the case* See transactions of the

Maryland State Bar Association (1942), pages 9 to 46, andparticularly the comment of u r , Robert R. Carman on page 46.

It is true that Rule 6 does not make it mandatoryupon the Court to orally charge the Jury, and the Judge,therefore, would be justified by the rule in deciding afterthe evidence was presented whether the oase should be sub-mitted to the Jury on written instructions or whether anoral charge should be made. The difficulty about this isthat the lawyer never knows in advance what course ofaction would be taken by the Judge. If the Court shoulddecide to grant written instructions and the lawyer doesnot come prepared with his prayers he will not obtain anyruling by the Court on the questions of law applicable tothe facts of the case. On the other hand, if he burns themidnight oil and goes to a great deal of trouble to preparewritten instructions, it is rather disheartening to havethe Court completely ignore and refuse to rule on theprayers as submitted.

The matter mentioned above constitutes one ofthe main objections that I have heard voiced by many lawyers.

Chapter 719 of the Acta of 1939, conferred uponthe Court of Appeals the power to prescribe these GeneralRules. Paragraph 35C of that Act authorizes the Judges ofthe Supreme Bench of Baltimore City to establish rulesgoverning the practice and prooedure In the Courts of BaltimoreCity, provided such rules are not inconsistent with the GeneralRules adopted by the Court of Appeals.

Has the Supreme Benoh of Baltimore City consideredthe advisability of adopting a uniform rule? If not, do youthink there is any possibility that the Supreme Bench wouldgive this consideration and adopt a uniform rule for theCourts of Baltimore City?

Very respectfully,

President.

Hon. Samuel K. Dennis,Chief Judge,Supreme Bench of Baltimore,Court House,Baltimore - 2, Maryland.

Dear Sir:

The Jail Board respectfully requests that you take up with the SupremeBench a matter which hns occasioned no l i t t l e inconvenience to the V/arden of theJai l , and offers opportunitites for escape and legal complications which are notlightly to be borne.

The V/arden of the Jell has been in receipt of orders signed by membersof the Supreme Bench recently, requiring him to take prisoners awaiting tr ial andprisoners serving sentences out of the Jail , under guard, for various familyreasons:- circumcisions, deaths, illnesses, etc. , one covering a period of twenty-four hours.

Aside from the very great difficulty confronting the Jeil in gettingguards of quality for the normal management of the prisoners, it is almost imposs-ible to get competent men to take prisoners to various points and on variouserrands outside the Ja i l .

The Jail Board is unaware of any Jurisdiction the Supreme Bench has toorder the Warden to take prisoners out of the Jail on the errands mentioned, whileconceding, of course, the Jurisdiction of the Judges to order prisoners out of Jailto testify or to attend court proceedings. It has also been suggested that if theJail Board and Warden are subject to those orders of the Judges of the SupremeBench, State Officials, the Board is equally subject to the Jurisdiction of Judgesoutside the City, also State Officials. The Jail Board is essentially a Municipalbody.

The Jail Harden is afraid that prisoners under escort, uer Court order,may escape and that he will "be responsible, notwithstanding he disapproves of thepractice; and is also apprehensive that if prisoners escape under such circumstancesthey are not guilty of breaking ja i l when out under void authority.

The Jail Board trusts it will be consistent with the practice of theSupreme Bench to discontln>ie such orders.

The Jail 3oard records disclose that up until about fifteen years agoouch orders were issued from time to time, and that about that time the practicewas discontinued. The Board is informed that the subject was then considered bythe Supreme Bench and the practice discontinued on the grounds, or eone of theerouada, above suggested.

While the Jail Board wishes to cooperate with the Supreme Bench in everyv&y which is practical and lawful, it 1B thought in the present instances that the

Jail Board should request relief at the hands of the Supreoe Bench fzoa apractice BO lately resumed.

The Board itself, recognizes the reasonableness on extraordinaryoccasions of escorting prisoners under guard to places outside the ja i l , andhas regulations covering the subject framed to meet eoer^enciee when consistentwith the proper organization, discipline and oana/renent of the prison find i tsinmates.

Very respectfully.

Pear Judge:-

Will you kindly attend, If possible,

a meeting of the Supreme Bench, herewith called

for Friday, Septambar 1st, twelve o'clock noon,

in the large Superior Court Room, when Judge Smith

will be inducted as Chief Judge of the Supreme

Bench of Baltimore City?

Yours respectfully,

M I N U T E S Sept. 1 , 1944

OF THE SUPREME BENCH OF BALTIMORE CITY

A Special Meeting of the Supreme Bench was held on Friday,

September 1st, 1944, at twelve o'clock noon, to induct Judge Smith

into the office of Chief Judge of the Supreme Bench. All of the

members of the Bench, except Judge Sayler, were present. Judge

0'Dunne, presided as Acting Chief Judge until Judge Smith was sworn

in.

Former Chief Judge Dennis presented Judge Smith for induction.

The response on behalf of the Bench was made by Judge O'Dunne, and

after taking the Oath, Judge Smith took MB seat as Chief Judge,

and responded to the addresses previously made. Copies of the

addresses are attached to these liinutes as part hereof.

Judge Sherbow inquired whether the members of the Bench had

used the loud speaker which he had had installed, and also in-

quired whether they desire loud speakers in their respective

Court Rooms, which he said would cost about $1400.00. The whole

matter was left in his bands to make such arrangements as he

should be able to do.

Judge Nilas moved that the appointment and induction of Judge

Smith as Chief Judge gave pleasure to the Bench and pledged the

support of his Associates. The Motion was unanimously carried.

The Chief Judge then proposed that the assignment of Summer

vacations should rotate in the same manner that the Judges rotate

year by year, starting with the Court of Common Pleas.

The Report of the Budget Committee was submitted and approved

and a copy of the Report is attached to these minutes as a part

hereof.

Copies of thisarc still available, without cost, on'application to Chief Judge Denote, whono wisely preserved as history whatmight otherwise hare l>cen lost to pos-terity.

Judge 0'Dunne willretire in 1945 and, therefore, his retirement pay for part of theMar is provided for, as well as an additional Bailiff, James U.Spencer.

A Meeting of the Supreme Bencb was held Saturday, October 7th,

1944, at 10 o'clock A. li.

All of the members of the Bench were present except Judge

L'oLanahan, who has been sick during the week.

The motion of Philip P. Silbert for a new trial from his con-

viction of lottery in the Criminal Court, was argued, submitted

and overruled. Judge Tucker took no part in the argument.

A resolution was passed suggesting that the Chief Judge write

a brief memorandum on the grounds for refusing the motion for a

new trial, and give his memorandum publicity - for the benefit of

the Bar and Police Department. The Chief Judge agreed to do so.

The Report of the Committee on the Court House, Judge O'Dunne,

Chairman and Judges Niles and Sherbow, was submitted and approved;

with thanks to the Committee, which was authorized and instructed

to give copies of the Report to the Press. A copy of the Report

is attached to these minutes as part hereof. It was also resolved

the Conmittee be continued as a Standing Committee.

The Probation Committee, Judge Niles Chairman, reported that

they had no report to make. Judge Niles had been previously ap-

pointed Chairman, Vice Chief Judge Smith and Judge lioylan. Vice

Judge Dickerson, who had resigned.

It was resolved that a resolution of sympathy on the death of

Dr.Beale Elliott, late colored Probation Officer, be drafted by

the Chief Judge and sent to Dr. Elliott's widow, and that copies

be sent to the Daily Record and Afro-American.

Judge Sayler suggested that stepB be taken toiicrease to salary

of Trust Clerk, Mr. Howard B. Matthews. The matter was referred

to the Standing Trust Comiiittee, from which Judge Niles, on this

date resigned and the Chief Judge appointed Judges Sayler and

Sherbow to serve with Judge Dickerson, the remaining member of the

previous Committee.

It was resolved that the Judges of the several Courts request

the Clerks of their respective Courts to purchase for the several

Judges, copies of the West Publishing Company's Maryland Digest.

The Chief Judge submitted a proposed rule to govern the ap-

pointment of counsel in Criminal cases and it was decided to give

such Judges as should desire to do so, the opportunity to prepare

and submit for the consideration of the Bench at its next meeting,

drafts of a proposed rule.

The schedule of assignments of the Judges during the Sunnier

vacation, submitted by the Chief Judge, was adopted, with the

understanding that the Judges may exchange assignments with each

other,if they so desire.

The application of Mr. Daniel C. Joseph for authority to take

testimony as an Examiner, both at law and in Equity, was referred

to the Standing Truat Committee, with instructions to report on it

at the next meeting of the Bench.

An Order was passed repealing and rescinding Common law Rules,

26, 31, 42 and 47, and Equity Rules 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, because

in conflict with the Rules of Practice and Procedure adopted by

the Court of Appeals.

A copy of the Order is attached to these minutes as part

hereof.

It was decided that the Special order of business at the next

meeting of the Bench should be with respect to the use of oral

and written instructions in Jury Trials.

It was decided to hold informal luncheons in the Supreme Bench

Chambers at 12:30 on Thursdays, beginning October 19th, to dis-

cuss mutual problems and for social purposes. Judge Sherbow was

instructed to make culinary arrangements.

It was the sense of the Bench that Kr. N. S. West and his em-

ployees should be permitted to use and copy from the records of

the Clerk of the Superior Court, at all reasonable hours and in

such a manner as not to interfere with the work of the Clerk's

office, or with other persons having business with the Clerk's

office and using the books and records of the office. The

Secretary was directed to so advise Ur. Pittman, Clerk of the

Superior Court and Mr. West.

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

The Honorable,, The Suprene Benchof Baltimore City,

Bon. K. Comroll Smith, Chief Judgo,Court House,Baltimore * 2, Maryland.

Gentlensm*

IsnettiAtely after oar appointment as a special Court Bouse Caanlttee

m made a coaplst* surrey of the interior of tba building. We interviewed the

Court Clerks, department beads, and others occupying space In the building. We

also conferred with the City Solid tor. Chief Engineer, the Buildings Boglneer

find tho Superintendent of Buildings*

0e find the present quarters ovor-crenrded, idth nuoh needed space

unavailable for certain court clerks and other officials, while at the seas tine

ft great deal of apace is mated* Tba building is dirty and badly In need of wash-

ing and painting. Tho heating system is inefficient; sos» offices aw so cold In

winter BBployoes cannot work in them, nhlle In eane parts of the building windows

Buat be kept open In old-winter because of the intense heat. Court clerics complain

of papers dry-rotting and crumbling because of tho heat. Dust from the ventilators

ia oo great the ventilators are kept closed.

Tho roof leaks in some plages, and the Bar Library and others have had

books land papers Injured by rain, while painting on tho nails has scaled from the

effects of the rain.

Seme court room have eound proof oatorlals on the waJls and oeillnga,

*Mle others do not* Some court olerica have jaodora fluorescent lighting i&lla other

offices and court rooma have an archalfl Hflh^ig system with bulbs Biasing, oto.

Window shades throughout the building are missing, torn, or full of

holes* LlnoleiM is rotten and in bad shape* Chairs are broken and not repaired

or replaced.

Beautiful mural paintings have an acaumlation of dirt and dust. Fins

tiled floors are worn and broken in spots and are left mrepalred* Furniture and

wood-work hare not been varnished or painted for years. The elevators are antiquated,

slow, and frequently out of servioe for repair. Sone court rooas have clocks that

run, while others have clocks that have been out of servioe for years and not removed*

In SON plaoss both serviceable and unserfioeabls docks hang on the walls*

Tbe toilet facilities are disgraceful. They are Inadequate and In Beam

instances worthy of the attention of the Health Department. Firs hose signs are

on display, but the fire hose is g<»ff*Tig.-

The present conditions are not of recent origin, but result from the f sot

that the needs of i ts various occupants for space have greatly increased since it was

built, and ovar a very long period of time the building has been allowed to fall into

a sad state of disrepair* In the rooent past the condition has been aggravated by

material and man-power shortages caused by the war.

the Court Rouss is a beautiful structure, well-built, and only about forty-

five years old. However the interior has been chopped up, sub-divided, re-built, and

added to, from tine to tine, all without any general plan or scheme. Sone court

clerks have built mnianiTw floors for their expanding needs. In the State*a Attorney's

Office a balcony was built that has destroyed the beauty of the office, and at the

•me time provided Inadequate and uncomfortable spaos for his staff. Sis Sheriff has

on* cell for the use of male and female, white and colored prisoners. So far he has

•snaged by the use of good judgment to avoid any difficult situations-

The Record Office needs mors space for land records. Part of the staff

Is on the third floor and part on the basement floor. The City Solicitor has his

rtaff on three separate floors. She Probation Depsrtaent is scattered all over the

grotiad floor. The state's Attorney has hla offioes In separate parts of the first

floor. The Grand Jury has a crowded, dlrt7 toon with att wren worse ante room for

waiting witnesses*

This Is only a part of the picture, bat It give* sons Idea of present

conditions. Thar* 1B nach wasted area while there is an urgent need for nore spaoe*

Son* tine In the future a new Court House mast be built, but we believe,

with efficient re-arrangement of spaoe, soae structural changes, and capable oanage-

nent, the present building can be economically and satiafaotorUy need for a long tine

to cone. We do not believe it will be neoessary to add any new stories to the present

building*

First we raoc—and that a ecaqwtent architect be appointed by the proper

city officials to sake a complete surrey of tho building. At the same time the

Suprene Bench should hare a standing Conadttae on the Court Bouse* Together they

could plan for re-arrangemBnt of offioes, a more efficient utilisation of space, and

the preserration of the harmony and beauty of the structure, Boofing experts and

beating engineers oould aake surwys and reports that would show what was needed for

lasedlate repair and what would have to be delayed until materials oould beooae

available.

The arohltvot could plan the re-arraugssMnt of offioes, eta,, from an

Qvexwall point of view* For oxanplo, a complete rw arraflflimi—t of the State's

Attorney's Office, the Clerk of the Criminal Court, Grand Jury quarters, Domsstlo

Relations Department of the State's Attorney's Office, could be mads, so that aopl*

space could be proridad, the offices sodemlsed, toilets installed, etc., and It is

entirely liJraly that no additional epsee would be required.

i Anetoer instanoei the Bscord Office needs mor» room. We suggested to the

dark of the Superior Court that he considor Including the oorridor adjoining the

Street side of his offioes as a part of his spaoe. As an altematir* a

orer the center record library night be oonsidered. Be reports that bis

-3 -

needs for nine years could be zut by the first suggestion* and fifteen Tears by

the second. Only a qualified architect could determine which plan i« the JDOM

feasible* and which one should be adopted.

A plan fcr aoderoiiing all the clerks1 offices could be worked out.

Filing experts could be called in to suggest plant for re-vanping the present

system of keeping records and filing papers.

The Supreae Bench Ccmmittee could suggest and cooperate, and could also

bars some responsibility for seeing that the work gets done*

Ve are pleased to advise you that this suggestion for the appointment of

an architect has net with the approval of the various city officials whoa we ban

consulted.

The Supervisors of Elections occupy a large part of the ground floor of

the Court House on the t-t**ngfr"P Street side* Ihoir quarters are crowded and aake-

shift. We beliere this entire department should be housed elsewhere, and the law

changed to permit their reaoral free the Court House* At the present tine plans

are being nade far the proposed People's Court Building and other wmiriiwl structures,

ffe have suggested to the city official* that consideration be given by the architect

to Inclusion of the Supervisors of Elections on the ground floor of one of theee

buildings*

If and when the Supervisors of Sleotions HOTS from the Court House, space

should be provided for the staff of the Juvenile Court. At present the clerical staff*

doctors, social woxlcsrs, e t c , are located at 327 St. Paul Street. Children are

required to make several trips frosi one place to the other. This situation is certainly

In need of correction. However, we believe some thought should be given to i&etber

the Juvenile Court, even though an integrated part of the Supreme Bench, should be

in the Court Howe at all , The original loan proposal was for a oombined People's

Coart-Jnrenile Court Building, and now la the tine to aaka a study of the entire p i n

ao4 decide what should be done.

IThe loan ordinance for toe People** Court Building also provides for

space for Archive* of the city. A plan should be worked out to provide for the

removal of land records, old wills; court record*, etc., prior to acme pre-determliied

date to the proposed building* This would provide arach needed apsce end at the sane

tins would not work any ondae hardship on t i t le examiners, geneologlsts and students,

boeause all the old records would be In one central, ooaaaaible apM*«

We believe that a long-range plan by a competent architect would obriato

the need for a bond issue for a nor Court House, Piano hoverer would not be sufficient*

It will be necessary to have the plans pot Into action,

lie hare received assurances from the city officials that the 194-5 budget

wfH provide fond* for Jjaadiate pressing repairs, cleaning and aaintenanoe. deaninf^

repairing, «ta», could begin gr/ mrt after the first of the year*

Be have recoired detailed reports f roa al l department heads, court clerks*

eto* These reports are available to tbe architect and Ccamdttee, but would only

unduly prolong this report if jncludod herein* As eoon as an arohiteot is appointed

they can be used by him as a basis of study for the long-range plan* Ueanwhile the

citgr offioials could proceed upon the iaoediat* pressing neoessities outlined above*

Dear Judget-

Ihe inaction of tho Bench on the death of a menber ofthe Grand Jury wno correct and is supported by procodont.

the lav with regard to tho selection and drawing of aGrand Jury of twenty-three persons Is mandatory, and notdirectory merely. (State vs McKay, 100 !'.d, B2£, 630) Statevs Vincent, 91 '.d. 718, 723} Green vs Stcto, S9 : d# 126;Stato vs. Sc&rborovfh, bb ::d» 360j Clare ve L-tate, 51 i.'d. ie3)«So that, tiliile tlio objoction n;ay be waived, by pleading totho rrorlte (Lyere VE i»teto, Qo Md* 207, 210j Green va otate,supra), yet when It is properly raised by plea in abatenoat,or by derewror, the objection that the Orand Jury at i t sorganisation conaioted cf only ffienty-tvro instead of twenty-three parsons aa required by Law is ratal" to tho inolctmont(State VB Vinoent, 91 Md.

But if it appear from the record, or if the fact maybe inferred free: the nant of direct challenge, th*it the OrandJury at thb time of organisation «au coirposed of twenty-threepersons, then the fact that tne Oranc Jury thbreai't^r (wnonan indictment was found) vaa composed of only twenty-twopersons will not invalidate their actlon| whether thi- diminu-tion In number was caused ty one since being excused (becausehe could neither read nor write English, ofeate vs ticTiay, 100Kd» 622, 631) or by one having sinco died (State vs Scrborou^h,55 Kd. 350.)

l!r. Cummings was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 4, 1905,and was the son of Harry S. Cuntmings, who WOB a member of the City Counoil fortwenty-six years .

Mr. GummingB graduated from the Frederick Douglass High Schoolin June, 1923. H« graduated from the Lincoln Universi ty, Chester County, Pennsyl-vania, in June 1927 and received the Degree of Bachelor of Ar t s .

He taught General Science at the mentioned High School fromSoptember 1927 to June 1928.

He was a candidate for Probation Officer when the f i r s t examinationwas held under the present administrat ion in January 1930, and was selected fromthe four of his raoe who took the examination. At tha t time the Probation Comit teerequested the l a t e 3eal E l l i o t t to study the qua l i f i c a t i ons , inoluding the personal-i ty , of these candidates.

Mr. William L. Stuekert,Chief Probation Officer,Supreme Benoh of Baltimore City,Boom Ho* 5, Court Bouse,Baltimore, Maryland.

Dear Sirj-

I respectfully reoanmend that Harry Sythe Coamings beappointed as Probation Offloer for DiTiiion B of the probationDepartment of the Supreme Benoh of Baltimore City.

Of the four man who •uooeaifully passed the examination,I consider him the aost eligible for the following reason* t

(a) He stood f irst in the written tes t .

(b) Bis-^qualifications at to soholastio attainment amplymeet the requirements suggested by the axsmiaers, in that he oomesfrom an "A" olaas oollega> whose standing admits hljn unconditionallyto the professional graduate sohools of tho best universities in thiscountry* I have in mind suoh universities as Tale, Harvard, Universi-ty of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Oniversitj of Ghitiago, a«dinstitutions of tho calibre of those*

(o) Personally, he is admirably frankj possesses poise; andhas a personality that would certainly inspire respect from those withwhom ha would have to deal in the Frobatinn Department. Be has smbitlon,and is industrious. At the death of his father he was left withoutaeans to further his education. He did not depend on his family, butworked his way through school doing menial work of different types todefray his school expenaos. 2 am reliably, "informed by persons of un-questionable sincerity, who saw him at Saratoga Springs, How York,where he was employed as a waiter while working his way through sohool,that in spite of the sporting element with which he was thrown in oon-taot at this resort, he deported himself so manly and so far apart fromhis associates, that he was generally admired and respected.

He has always lived in Baltimoret knows the oityj and ie oredit-ably known by folks in general in the city*

(d) Be oomos from a family whose general public spiritednesshas bean a decided asset to this oonmmnity. His paternal grandmotherfor a mxnber of year* was a leader among Negro women in uplift work*One of the women's dormitories at Morgan College is named for her inrecognition of her activities in that direction. Bis father was in theCity Council of Baltimore for twenty-six years. Bis aunt. Hiss Zda £•Ctnsiings, has been oonnooted with the Baltimore Sohool System for morethan twenty-five years. For more than twenty years she has been thePresident of the Colored Eapty Stooking and Fresh Air Society, whichorganisation conducts a ton aoro resort farm at Delight, Harylsnd( wherethe poorer colored children of all section of Baltimore are eaoh suimaergathered in groups and given a two weak outing. This aunt was also thePresident of the Maryland Federation of Colored Woman's Clubs, and is an

outstanding ohuroh woman, having on several occasion* been elected to

the general Oonferenoe of the Methodist Bpisoopal Church.

It nay be thought that a young man possessing theaspersonal traits, and having suoh a battleground might be too ambitio'to be a Probation Officer, and too honest to swear that he willnever aspire to anything higher or hotter. Any man whose onlyambition is to be a Probation Officer* nothing more, under anyoirouButanoe, is not f it to be a Probation Offioar, A satisfiedman is a dead nan*

1UHUXESOF THB SUPRS1S BENCH OF BALTIMORE CITY

A General Term Meeting of the Supreme Bench was held December

18th, 1944 at-10:00 o'clock A. K. All of the members of the Bench,

except Judges McLanahan and i&son, were present and the Chief Judge

presided.

The Assignment of Judges to the several Courts for the year

1945 was made and an Order covering the several assignments was

duly passed. Judge Koylan asked to be reassigned to the Juvenile

Court to complete some unfinished business, with the understanding

that he was to be relieved as soon as possible.

Among the Summer Assignments, Judge Dickerson was assi^pied to

the Civil Courts from July 15th to July £isnd, and to the Criminal

Court from July ZZni to July Z9th.

A Rule covering the filing of motions for new trials in Civil

cases was proposed by Jud^e Sherbow, adopted, and will be pub-

lished in the Daily Record.

In compliance with the Rules of the Court of Appeals, it was

decided that a summons should be issued for the defendant, re-

turnable in not less than thirty days, where the plaintiff seeks

an Ex Parte confession of judgment. Rule 5 of the Common Law

Rules was amended to provide for a judgment Non Pros3e, in lieu

of an Order of Dismissal of cases following within the Rule. It

was decided that the Rule should be redrafted and formally adopted

by the Bench.

On motion of Judge 0'Dunne, it was resolved that there should

be a general policy with regard to the appointment of Counsel in

the Criminal Court, but that the matter should be left to the

Judges presiding in the Criminal Court. The Chief Judge agreed to

draft the proposed Resolution and send it around to the members of

the Bench.

Judge 0'Dunne called attention of the Bench to the inhumanity

of keeping prisoners in the lockup without food until their cases

should be reached for trial late in the afternoon. Judge Hoser

agreed to draft a request*&# the President of the Jail Board for

providing food for prisoners in the lockup whose caseswould not

be reached for trial until later in the day.

The Grand Jury for the January Term, 1945, was selected. There

being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

MOTION SECONDED BYWENDELL D. AXLEN

i/cy It Pleatc Your Honors:I rise to second the motion of the

Memorial Committee. Tbe Hor appre-ciates the custom of tbe Supreme BenchIn appointing an nnnunl hour In sjH-cIr*session In memory of our recently <!<_jmrlM tiro there. On this occasion, byour presence, we conimomornU' theirqualities of character, ability and de-votion to duly.

In these particular times, when tinravages and Impress of wnr affect tinlives of us all, we recognize tho serious-ness of the tasks and burdens wour brother* have borne lu the recentyears before they passed away.

On this solemn occasion It la JHtlDithat we take stock of ourselves us ofllcere of this Court In the- administrateof Justice and take on increased de-termination to carry on the duties andresponsibilities which they have laidnside.

It is perhaps true that lawyers ns tgroup respect precedent and stare dcclsls more than nny other group of ousociety. It is enp«lnl]y difficult, cspedally for those who hnve become linedyear upon year, to the settled principlesof law and procedure to keep atirof the whirlwind ot change In our eco-nomic life and accompanying legisla-tion. Onr brothers BO recently departed,most of whom had reached the fulsomeyears of life, have Iwen confronted wltbtho struggle or keeping pace with Hiefast change of statutory law nnd regu-lations having the effect of law. Hutwe nil renllic, no our comrades did, thntIn theso serious days we munt l>c will-ing temporarily to give up many of theprivileges which wo enjoyed In peace-time days, bnt It Is a proper functionof tho lawyer to preserve tbc fabric ofconstitutional government, and thi

One resounding and unanimousthought which comes hack to us byword mill letter from our youngerbrethren who are serving In tbc Armed

Department* enexnged In functions akinto war, Is thnt they mn.r return afterthe War anil find things the same asvhen they closed their oftico door*.

In memory of our friends and com-•nlies of tbc Bar who hare so recently.•en«cd tbe straggle, we cannot do betterliftn In this presence firmly to resolTciiat we shall carry on tbc high Idealsind precepts, under the guidance ofiur courts, in the preservation of our

constitutional and democratic way oflife. '

And no I take pi en sure lu secondinghe motion of the Memorial Committee.

To The Supreme Bench of Baltimore Cityt

In conformity with an expression of the Bench, at a meeting

last Fall, we are reporting relative to the appointment of Counsel for

prisoners charged with serious offenses and without funds.

The State's Attorney from time to time places in the assign-

sent, for arraignment only, cases he considers serious. The accused,

when arraigned, usually expresses a desire to have counsel and the pre-

siding Judges of the Criminal Court appoint counsel.

The granting of these requests for the year 1945 have thus

far involved an expenditure of about $1600.00, which is approximately

2/t% of the total amount expended for the year 1944* This increase may,

if it persists, give rise to criticism..

He recommend that the Supreme Bench give consideration to this

matter and give us the benefit of an expression of their views. It may

be advisable to limit the expenditure for an attorney, appointed by the

Court, to a maximum of $$0.00.and to ma Ice this limitation public. It may

also be advisable to invite, through the columns of the Dally Record,

lawyers, who are willing to give their services for the above compensa-

tion, to so advise the Judges of the Criminal Court, to the end that a

standing list may be compiled from which the Judges of the Criminal Court

may from time to time appoint for prisoners so arraigned, counsel deemed

to be competent.

We submit the above suggestions for your consideration*

RULE 19

Divoroe and Annuljnent - notification to

Absent Defendant.

In all divorce and annulment of marriage proceedings where

the defendant has not been served with subpoena, and has not

appeared voluntarily, the complainant shall be required to make

reasonable efforts to ascertain the actual whereabouts of the

defendant, and, by whatever means that may be available - that

is to say, by registered mail, by wire, by telephone, or by

personal interview - to bring to the knowledge of the defendant

the fact that a suit is pending against him or her, the object

and purpose of which is to obtain a divorce, or to have the

marriage annulled, as the case may be. In such cases, therefore,

where only notice by publication has been given to the defendant,

a final decree for the complainant shall not pass until a sworn

statement by the complainant or his or her solicitor shall be

filed which ahfi.ll give a circumstantial account of the efforts of

the complainant to locate the absent defendant and to warn him or

her of the pendency of the suit, or until sworn evidence before

the examiner shall disclose a bona fide effort by the complainant

to discharge hia or her obligation to notify the defendant. And

the failure of the complainant to make such reasonable effort in

good faith, and to offer proof thereof, shall be ground for the

poatponement or denial of relief.
