SORROW OF THE
BARJXPRESSED
ACTION ON THE DEATH OF
JUDGE F. W. OUNSTER.
Resolutions Exprosslve of the Feel
ings of tho Mombors of the Bar
AdoptedRemarks by Judge Arch
bald, Judge Edwrds, Ex-Justico
Alfred Hand, Ex-Judge Wlllard,
Attorney Welles, Colonel Watres,
Colonel Hitchcock, Attorney Horn
and Attorney Comegys.
In the main court room of the Com t
House a meeting of the Lackawanna
County J3ur association wan held yes
terday morning nt 11 o'clock to oxpiesn
the sentiments of tho bar with refer
ence to the death of Hon. Frederick W.
aunster, the senior additional law
Judge of the county. There wus n
largo attendance of the members of tho
bar whose sot tow was plainly mldcnt.
Eutli member felt that ho had Jost a
kind and generous friend. The chair on
the bench tint had been occupied by
Judge Gunstcr was heavily draped In
black.
In the absence of Attorney J. H. Tor
ley, president of the Bar association,
who was not In the city, Attorney c.
II, Welles tailed the meeting to oider
and suggested Judge it, W, Archb.il 1
for chulrnmn of the meeting, This sns
gextlon wus unanimously .agreed to
nnd In taking the chair Judge Aich
bald spoke feelingly of his depaited is
Rociatc. He said:
' The blow has fallen. Death has
romc. The anticipated has happened.
That which In anxiety and poriou we
have contemplated for the past tlneo
months Is a certainty. Hon. Kicdcilck
W. CiunHter, senior additional law
Judge of this county Is dead. For the
aeeond lime In Its history this court Is
compelled to mouin the loss of one of
Its membets, stricken down in the
midst of his labors, with his attain
mints at their highest, with the'
piomlse of the best work and the high
est tlliciency jet to come Truly It Is
an occasion not only for the eouit and
liar, but for the commuulty at large
to deplore his lo"".
A I'HOAIIXL'NT FIOUUC.
"iso prominent a llgure has Judge
(Junster been in the life, progress, anil
development of this city, so large a
place has he filled In the public ee.
that there Is little that can be said, at
this time, tint Is not already known.
But veiy few. If any, have known him
longei than hae I. We weie bojs to
gether In the High school of this cllv
from Its eiy eaillest, until each went
on his way to college. He was a few
years niv senloi, and 1 looked up to
tilni with emulation. Of not only a
scholar v but a llteiuiy turn of mind,
he stood foiemost In his classes and
tanked as a young man of the gieatest
piomlse'. When lie entered 'Williams'
although brought In competition with
one of the hlr t set of men eer
graduated fiont that institution, he
took rank with the best and graduated
with the highest honois. Ketuinln,;
to tills city his met Its weie anew
l t.nnirlilwil :ltld hn rntpred UTIOII
the piactlte of the law. I lemcni-
btr well, when 1 entered on the study i
of the law, being advised to secute n
plaee In his ofllce although he had then ,tuuoml', rctoim. ami an active mem
been in piactice but three yeais. A I bc'' nf. Jho committees on counties and
tew vears
s later he was elected to the
eglslature, and the high vote which
was ghen him showed the support
which ho leeelved legardless of paity.
That was the second session after tho
adoption of tho new constitution nnd
the Impoitance of the legislation to be
considered was t onespondlngly gieat.
But In that leglslatmo theie weie to
b found some of tho stiongest mci
ever sent to the capital, of whom Ira T,
Mitchell, Judge Albright and Judge
Yerkes may be mentioned. Judge
Ounster still held his own, and Is spok
en of to this day by thoe w ho met
and knew him there.
"I do not need to 111 ntlon the other
piore recent public honois which cams
to him. As first district attorney ot
the county, that ottlce lias ne.r been
more elllclentlv filled, and when by
tho lfslgnatlon cf Judge Hand, a va
cancy In this bench was to bo filled,
the bir, with marked unanimity, sup
port! d the nomination of Judge Oun
ster. and the people ratified th" choice.
HIS P.B-KLKCTION.
"Htiel" a yeat has passed since he
wus tigalu nominated and elected, re
gardless of party. This iccltal conveys
but a bilef mention of the honor uud
positions ot lesponslblllty which h
held, and they one and all testlfj to
the lonfldenci. reposed In him by th-i
people of tho community.
"I might nu o let thl'i occasion pasi
without leaving my peisnna", and of
llelal ttstlme.ny to his woith. I have
been nssoeltteil with him tcr over
elevn vcurs. He was of the highest
icgui .11111 lueueiii iii'jmini 'lie, ana
ueei 111111" to the coiisidci.itlon of a
. tiueitlon bctore tho coutt. without
suggestive observation upon It. Ho
win-- liim In his opinions, which v, 01 e
Judicial, not peisonul, and he was,
feailess In tho opiession of thoin, as
the occasion leciulred His life Is now
but 1 meuioiy. Bui In leeognltlon of
its Iilglt wtntb, let us keep It gieen
for the emulation and ovimple of this
at well us the early geneiatloni'."
Alter J ml jo Aichbald concluded. At
torney Joseph O'Bilen w.i elected seu
lotary of the meeting and on mutlon
of cx-Juetlec Alfred Hard, a commit-
ten of three was appointed to diaw up
suitable lesolutioi.B cxnresbive of thi
sentiments of the bar with reference to
the di nth of Judge Ounster. On this
committee ex-Justice Hand, ev-Judgo
B. N. Wlllaid aud Attoiney C. Com
eg.vs veto named.
While the commutes was piepaiing
Its icpoit eulogies weie pronounced by
seveial of those piesent. Judge H. M.
Kdwnids said thut he found it dlfllcult
to express his feelings In view of the
gieat calamity that had befallen thpm.
"I do not feel like commenting on
tho life of Judge Gunstei In Its mani
fold activities, I cannot assemble my
thoughts to express what is In my
heart this morning. It may be that af
ter this dark cloud of sonow has pussej
away that It will be possible for mu
and other members of this bar to do
Justice to tho character and worth of
Judge dimeter. I cannot do It now.
WORTH AS A LAWYKR.
"Many or the older members of tho
bar Know his gieat woith as a lawyer:
they have felt his keen Intellect and
great mind In the trial of cases. Then
may speak of his great Intellect for ho
was pie-eminent In this respect. Of
this there Is no doubt. I will not speak
of his career as a Judge, for that has
been done by Judge Archbald with
whom he wus foi yeais asaoclatod on
the bench, but I will nieak of the feel
ing that Is uppermost In my mind, of
his greatness an a man,
"For neatly a rniuiter of a century
I have been associated with him, and
as I look hack how th.it period of time
has Mown. I lead law with him and
In my caily career at tho bar was
t'rcatlv Indebted to hlm for his advice
and assistance, He had a great mind
and a gieat heart that always lespond-
Jed to the chords of sjmpthy. How
many members of this bar felt his
wondrous sympathy when they canio
before him to plead for some erilng one
and I have seen the tears In his eyes
when Ids duty compelled him to pusi
sentenco on some law bicaKer whoo
ease appealed to him.
"Judge Uunstor was tinly nii of the
noblest characters 1 over kne.V and our
only co.isolailon In this dink hour la
that lie has cone to his elernal let
and that his memory 111 bo forcier
green. '
Attorney C. H. Welti c, who was
Judge nunstei's law iiarlncr for ne en
teen yeuis, said that his memoir will
ever lie a fugiunt one with those who
knew him "I knew him at school," Mi.
Welles said, "when he stood nt tlu
head of his cla.s and av!i-io nil pie
dlcted a brilliant future for him. Din
ing the seventeen jenis we weie as.
soclatcd us pailneia I had an oiipottun
Ity of knowing the man thoroughly and
always found him the huiil of honor.
His whole life has been as an open
book. He hus stood at the head of his
Piofe-slon and of the Juilsts of the
slntc nnd left us a lecord of his life,
woik that Is pregnant for good nnd
that can well be followed by those who
aie entering the profession.'

Mr. Hand spoke of the fact that
Judge Gunstcr, like all tiuly great
men, npptoached public cilice with
m my misgivings us to his ability.
When tendeted the judgeship he con
sulted with tho speaker about the ac
ceptance ot it. "I had no doubt of liU
cju illllcatlons; I had no doubt of Ms
.slnceilty and I had no doubt about the
success that was to come to hlm In the
discharge of his judicial duties," sail
the speaker. "It Is a blgnltleant fact
that in Lickawunn.i county, wheie the
luce for ofllee Is usually bitter, till?
man was twice, by almost the unlveisal
voice of tho people, called to the ofllee
he so adoined. This constitutes the
gt cutest eulogy of him that could be
wilttcn. His death Is an Incuarable
loss to this couit and bar."
JUDGE WILLAItD'S TRIBUTE.
Ux-Judge U. N. Wlllard spoke with
much feeling ot the dead judge. "Wo
h.iva met heie," he said, "to take suit
able action on the death of a member
of this court, wo have met to mourn th
tleath of one of Pennsylvania's tight

knowing hl.i faith and tiust I cannot
but believe he Is today sitting at the
light hand of th.it ledeemer he so
loved. As we gaze at his remains for
the last time we will say faiewell to a
gieat and Just ludge."
Ux-Judge W. H. Jessup said ho could
not let the occasion pass without ex
pressing the tlcp emotion he felt on
hearing the news of the death of Judge
Gunster. "I cannot help but think,"
Judge Jessup said, "that his death has
a lesson for all of us. This man was
Strieker, down in his strength and In
the fulness of his power and tho lesson
this brings home to us is 'be jc also
lcady.' That Is tho lesson I take home
to m v hell; that Is the lesson that ought
to be inipiessed on the membei s of this
