and county judges and members of
the Omaha and Nebraska bar in
honoring the memory of the late Tim
othy J. Mahoney at services held at
the court house. The principal
court room was crowded with lawyers
and friends of the late barrister, who
died in Washington, D. C, April 19.
Members of the bench and bar paid
tributes to the memory of the lawyer
. who came to Omaha unknown thirty
years ago and died one of the leaders
of his profession in .this part of the
country.
Leading Judges Pay Tribute.
Occupying seats On the bench were

supreme court and Associate Justices
Letton, Dean and Hairier, District
Judges Sears, Estelle, Redick, Day.
NVakeley. Troup and tcslie, Federal
"Judge Woodrough. County Judge
Crawford and Municipal Judges Britt,
Baldwin and Holmes. ;
Judge Estelle, who became ac
quainted with Mr. Mahoney the day
the latter arrived in Omaha in 1887,
presided.
Warren Switzler read a short his
tory of the life of the late member of
the bar, who in his time was county
attorney, twice president of the Ne
braska State Bar association and
dean and dean emeritus of the Creigh
ton University law school. He told of
Mr. Jfahoney's high type of intelli
gence and character, his usefulness
and his courageousness.
"Strong Personality," Says Dunn.
I. J. Dunn eulogized the memory of
the late attonrey, putting particular
stress upon what he termed his
"strong and masterful" personality.
"In his active and serviceable life. he
gave all he had and claimed no spe
cial credit for it," Mr. Dunn said. 1
I. E. Congdon said that Mr. Ma
honey's greatest legacy was his im
press of personality. He spoke, of his
being "big end clean and intelligent in
every sense of the word."
Dean Martin of the Creighton law
school told the members of the bench
and bar that the story of Mr. MS
honey's achievements deserves to live
as a shining example of ideals.
"Thoroughness was the keynote of
all he did. He bad no sympathy with
the superficial. He was a tit ex
emplar for members of his profes
sion" Robert Cowell, Omaha business
man, referred to by Judge Estelle as
a man who tnew Mr. Mahoney, not as
a lawyer, but as a citizen, said that he
always lent dignity to everything he
did.
Gave Respect to Law,
Chief Justice Morrissey said that in
speaking of Mr. Mahoney he was pay
ing a tribute to the memory of one
who had done much to make the pro
fession of law respectful and respect-
ed. He said that he was a man because
of his conviction to the right and his
determination to do the right as he
saw it.
"Mr. Mahoney was an inspiration to
the young men of the profession,"
said the chief justice. "He brought to
the law the best there was in it."
Judge Estelle's voice broke down
when he told of his friendship with
Mr. Mahoney and testified to the
character of the late barrister's life
and deeds.
He said that Mr. Mahoney advised
young men to be honest, not because
it was the best policy, but because it
was right to be right. The judge men
tioned the fact that Mr. Mahoney
often told young men that the per
son who was honest just because it
was the best policy, often landed in
jail.
