"AL" SHIELDS, NOTED LAWYER,
DIES AFjTER TWO MONTHS' ILLNESS
Continued from Tact One tM
aille-d to represent one dfTOie defendants
in the State Capitol scandal. He (lirured
prominently In the Stoloy cotton ease ahd
was also eoiiniel for tno defendants In
the famous revenue stnmp conspiracy,
n - .? cn,7e brought William J. tlurns Into
the HmcllRht.
Mr. Shields wns hitlled as "chief," Hot
"u uj lawjers, nut by Judges as well,
account of His n,ie range of legal I
knowledge nnd great fighting ability.
no was a man of kindly disposition,
and quietly helped many over the stony
road of poverty
That Mr. Shields inn varied taitcs Is
shown by his beautiful nrt collection
which wan gathered from inany nit
centies. Ho was nlso n lover pf nnlmals,
nnd his stock farm at Woodbury. N. J
has been pioducthe of good leotlts.
HORN SON OF FARMER.
Albert Stepney ttchworth Shlehis was
born near Coalcsvllle, Chester Cointy,
rn., September 27, 18M. The son of a
former, he lived tho routine life of the
farmer's boy. Ills early education was
gnlned In the Coalcsvllle Academy and
the West Chester Military Academy.
When he wns 13 years old his father
moved to Wilmington, wl.ero young Al
bert cntcied T. Clnrkson Taylor's Acad
emy. At the age of 17 he quit school and
became a clcik In the olllcc of the Hnrlnn
& Holllngsworth Ship and C.ir llulldlng
Company, nt Wilmington, continuing his
studies by rending far Into the ntgltt.
In 18SS he camo to Philadelphia to study
law under Joseph T. I'ratt nnd wns ad
mitted to the bar In 1570. When his pre
ceptor wns elected Judge, In 1873, Joung
Shields, already mnklug a name for him
self through his brilliancy, took charge of
the laige law practice of his teacher. This
wns the turning point In his enrcer From
thnt .sent on his path to fucccsh whs open
nnd ho mndo phenomenal progress
Mr. Shield' married Miss Kinma II.
Jones In 1871. She died In 1000. A son,
Joseph I.. Shield'', nnd a brother, Wllllmn
8. 1. Shields, survive hint.
A VHRHATILK t.AWYHR.
Ask who A S. I,. Shields was nnd the
answer most piobahly will be, "the great
est criminal Inwser In l'enns.slvnnla."
Hut he wns more than that. His legal
practice wns not con fined to criminal
Jurisprudence alone, ills lecord contnlns
ponto of the most notable civil cases In
the State's history, cases In which he
nchlcvcd a national reputation; nnd the
same Is true nf the polltlcnl trials In
which he llgured. Ills enrly successes,
gained In the dnjs when criminal cases
were considered the crrnnt of n lawyer's
practice, stamped him llrst ns n criminal
Inw.sor, but his later victories In other
Hclds oxershadowed the famous cases of
his early cnieer. He was versatile In
every blanch of the law.
HIS FIRST 11IO MURDER CASH.
Ills first big murder enso and one o(
tho most notable In his career, was that
of the notorious lOmma Illckcll, who shot
nnd killed t llllam Mention In Kensing
ton, causing ono of the most widely
known legal bnttlcs In the couutiy. The
womnn was ncqultted on grounds of In
sanlt, nml Inter was rcleised from in
asylum. Mr Shields conducted the de
fense in moio thnn JOO homicide cases,
winning a majority of thorn. Among his
moro noted defendants were Patrick
Qtilglcy, licensed of t."e nmrdei ; A. A.
Schlssler, who killed George Tiunian
clerk of the Quarter Sessions Court, and
James l.sons, who killed n Chinese
lnundrymnn.
Probnbly hla third case. In point of nn-tlon-wldn
Interest, win the resenue stnmp
counterfeiting conspliac.- of 1SS9, In which
he defended ex-United Stntcs District At
torney Ellery I. Ingham und llnrvey K
Ncwett, who escaped with n light sen
tence of two years and six months nnd
51 line each.
A case growing out of the tjuni case.
In which John S. Hopkins, cashier of
the People's Bank, committed suicide,
was won by Mr. Shields In 1001, when
the charges of cousplincy to defraud col
lapsed ngalnst Richard F. l.oper, Mr.
Shields was hailed by the press us a
"legnl hero "
The defense of Joseph H. Huston, one
of the defendants In the Capitol scandal
case of 1907, consisted of Mr. Shields and
Ocorgo S. Crahlun, who, ns former Dis
trict Attorney, had been Mr, Shields' bit
ter opponent in many n legal' war. Hus
ton was acquitted In tho llrst trial, lut
tost thu second trial. This caso attract) d
irtoio attention in the State than a. y
other case in which Mr. Shields pa -tlcipated
and Is probably tho most uotaL o
cue In the State's annals.
Anothri noted case was that of Peter
K. Smith, n city committeeman, defended
by Mr. ShleldB ngalnst charges of at
tempt to bribe Common Councilman
Walter N. Steventon In connection with
the Schuylkill Vnlley water bill. Tho caso
was taken by the defense to tho Supremo
Court, which discharged Smith with a
icpr'ninud to the lower court.
