* Omaha Attorney
Dies Suddenly
on Eastern Visit
V. J. Connell Is Victim of In
digestion at Atlantic City;
Opposed Bryan for
Congress.
William J. Connell, 78, prominent
attorney of Omaha, died suddenly in
his apartment at Atlantic City, N. J.,
Saturday morning of acuta indiges
tion.
He had gone to Atlantic City on
July 22 to visit his two grandchildren,
Helen Connell and Mrs. Florence
Brown, Children of his late son
Ralph, and his great-grandchild,
Helen, daughter of Mrs. Florence
Brown.
Mr. Connell had spent the winter in
Miami, Fla., with his daughter, Mrs.
E. A. Creighton of Omaha, and was
apparently in good health when he
returned to Omaha on April 1. He
had continued his practice of law up
to the time of his death.
In June before the courts were
closed he tried a case with his
nephew, Herbert J. Connell, attorney.
Mr. Connell was ,a senior member of
the Omaha Bar association and of the
Nebraska Bar association. He came
to Omaha in the pioneer days and
often told of driving through herds of
buffalo in order to get to the place
where courts were held.
Born In Canada near the Vermont
line, he came to Omaha in 1867 as a
young man and was a clerk in the
store of Tootle & Maul. Later he
took up the practice of law and was
admitted to the bar in 1870. He
atudied law in the offices of Colonel
Chase, B. B. Kennedy and James
M. Wool worth.
Two years after his admission to
the bar the republicans elected him
to the office of district attorney of
the Third district, which then includ
ed Douglas, Lancaster and 10 other
counties. He was re-elected in 1874
on account of his good service.
Ran Against Bryan.
Mr. Connell was city attorney for
four years during the administration
of Mayor Boyd and established his
reputation as a lawyer. He served
one term in the national house of
representatives being, elected as a
representative from the First con
gresstional district. Ha was defeated
by William Jennings Bryan and in
the fall of 1890 returned to the prac
tice of law.
In 1892 he was again elected city
attorney. For 20 years he was at
torney for the street railway/ com
pany.
Mr. Connell had Just completed "A
Review of the Judges and Decisions
of the Supreme Court of Nebraska."
from 1867 to 1924. It was his lnten
. tion in his writing to make the re
view a fair criticism as well as
merited commendation of both Judges
and decisions.
Mr. Connell attended nearly every
term of the supreme court since Its
organization. He was familiar with
every decision and knew every Judge.
A short time ago he completed an
autobiography which was elaborately
bound and very complete.
Funeral in Omaha.
Mr. Connell's wife died several
years ago. The large Connell mansion
on Thirty-seventh and Farnam streets
was sold some time ago and while
in Omaha Mr. Connell made his home
in the Blackstone hotel. His offices
were at 1019 South Tenth street.
He is survived by one son, Dr.
Karl Connell, who will leave Satur
day evening for Chicago to meet the
body, which will be returned to Oma
ha; two daughters. Mrs. E. A. Creigh
ton of Omaha and Mrs. J. M. Ray
