Champion of “Under-Dog” In the pure sense of theé “word, Darrow was not a criminal lawyer He was rather a practicing phil- osopher, a student of Sociely, of crime and its causes and cures. During an NRA code hearing in Washington in 1933 on the disposi- tion of prison-made goods, the at- torney suddenly appeared to plead that convicts be given the right to earn wages while behind bars. “I've fought all my iife for the under-dog,” he once wrote. This life had its roots in his father, Amirus Darrow, once a stu- dent for the ministry, later the village infidel, a cabinet maker, dreamer and devotee of Voltaire and Paine, in Kinsman, O., where Clarence Seward Darrow was born April 18, 1857. His mother, Emily Eddy Darrow, daughter of a pros- perous farmer, died when Clarence a child and he spent his boy- hood on a farm. There he nurtured back to health a hen which had been injured on the road, only to see it killed for the dinner table. Clarence refused to eat and never touched chicken meat again. At 17'he entered Allegheny lege and in 1875, when he was only 13, was admitted to the bar. He ught a year, studied another at the University of Michigan and in 1877 opened a law office in Ashta- bula, Ohio. There, in 1879, Darrow married Miss Jessie Ohl. They were divorc: quietly in 1897 and in 1905 the attorney married Miss Ruby Hax erstrom of Galesburg, Ills., who was a news reporter in Chicago. By the first marriage there was one son, Paul Darrow, always interested in the U. 8. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, WEATHER BUREAU THE WEATHER (By the U. S.

In 1902 he was elected to the Illi- nois House of Representatives, serv- ing a single term. The following year he declined a labor party nom- ination for the mayoralty of Chi- cago. His appointive offices included the city attorneyship of Ashtabula in the earlys 80s and two brief terms as assistant corporation coun- sel of Chicago, in 1888 and again in 1893. While his greatest reputation was g#ined in the criminal courts, he also was an expert in corporation law. In politics he denounced “big interests’” and one of his notable civil suits was litigation against the Chicago “gas trust” which resulted in a substantial lowering of rates.
