JUSTICE MURPHY, and MR. JUSTICE JACKSON. The CHIEF JUSTICE said: "In deep sorrow I announce the death on July 18th last of George Sutherland, a retired Justice of this Court. "A citizen and member of the Bar of the State of Utah, he was United States Senator from that State from 1905 to 1917. He was in active service as a member of this Court from his appointment in 1922 to his retirement on January 18, 1938. As a Justice he brought to the service of his country a well-grounded knowledge of the law, a thorough understanding of the art of government, derived from a wide and varied experience in public affairs, and an unswerving devotion to constitutional government as the safeguard of cherished institutions and traditions of the Republic. "His death has brought to a close a career of eminent public service, and has severed the ties of friendship which his unfailing kindliness and winning personality inspired in his colleagues and all those who knew him." The CHIEF JUSTICE then voiced the regret of himself and his colleagues over the resignation of Mr. Justice Byrnes from his office as an Associate Justice of this Court, and their wish for the success of the resigning Justice in the new and arduous public undertaking which induced his separation from the court. |
