Death of Chief Justice Fuller prompts speculation on successor
The death of Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller came as a surprise after years of robust health. Governors and scholars note his long tenure from Augusta Maine born 1833 and his rise in Illinois politics. Many expect Governor Charles H. Hughes of New York to become the next chief justice when the court reconvenes in the fall. Fuller, a Bowdoin graduate and western legal giant, served twenty two years as chief. His retirement plans and the fall vacancy loom over the high court.
