Schley Shocked by Judge Wilson Death in Washington
Jeremiah Morrow Wilson, noted Washington lawyer and former congressman, died suddenly at the Shoreham Hotel after an illness of indigestion and Bright's disease. He was 73, Ohio-born, Indiana jurist, and prominent counsel in major cases including Star Route trials and Breckinridge-Pollard dispute. He chaired as president of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company and advised Union Pacific and the Mormon church. His death shortened proceedings in the Texas battle inquiry, with testimony from Bates and Claxton interrupted by the news.
