VRTBRA# JURIST I)KAI> South Carolina Loaea One of Ha Beat Judxen in Death of Memmiager Charleston, Nov. \1.~ Robert With ers Mum monger, judge of the Ninth judicial circuit for South Carolina, i died at his home, $S Churc.h street, ! shortly before noon Tuesday, suc cumbing to a heart attack which cam? on several day* ago. The new* of hi* death was a shock to relative* and friend* in the city and will bo beard with grief by citizens in other parts of the state who learned to admire and love him during the score of year* that he .served among then as a pub He officer. Out of feepect to the memory of Judge Memaiinger, the buftinoss of the court of geheral ses sions holding the November term at the Charleston county court bouse, was suspended by Judge J. W. Dt Vo re, presiding, immediately upoo re. cejtyt of the sad nfws. At the time of hit death Judge Memroinger wan in the 69th year of fya age, having been biorn July 16^7, the eon of the Rev. Robert W. Merrtmingvr and Susan Mazyek hit ta mingcr. He fetefrcd his early srhoo! iftgf In Charleston and later attended tfce University of Virginia. He woa admitted to the South Carolina bar in December, 1888, and after prac ticing law continuously in Charleston be wat. elected judge of the newly creatcd Ninth circuit February 14, 190&. In point of length of service Judgu Memmlnger was tho dean of the South Carolina circuit bench when death called him, as he had almost rounded out his 21st year of uninter rupted service. He possessed an astute ? legal mind and power- of dis crimination that were highly regard ed by all lawyers practicing in his court. He also had a reputation for fearlessness and alertness that made niin respected beyond the ordinary b> those who came ii> contact with him. Personally he was quiet almost to the point of being .shy, hut intimates never lacked in hirn a friend ready ?and willing to be called on in time of needed assistance or advice. When he was called to the bench Judge Memminger had already had 'en years of service as judicial mag istrate for the city of Charleston, an office that eorres ponded in those days~ Momewhat to that of judg?- of the county civil and criminal court. The years as magistrate, were rich in ex perienct? and judicial matters came up for decision had, many of them, direct t>earing on important decisions made later during the long judgeship. As a lawyer .Judtfe Memminger practiced as senior partner of the firm of Mem minger & Kcddinx. and a substantial prnctice was built up, particularly in the admiralty business, a branch of legal study in which .Judge Memmin ger took care to make himself espec ;aiiy proiieieni. Mertm?mKei% vhaiK*** t<? Uie jury and decisions handed down by him bore always the brand of pains taking preparation and diligent at tention to minute detail*.
