Player-Pianos walked from the federal building a private citizen after ‘seventeen years as federal judge. Starting today, the ||| tamous jurist, who récently resigned, will devote his time to the position j| | of base bali commissioner. Judge Léndis swung through the ||| first p.rt of his final day on the || | bench in characteristic fashion, dis- Posing of nearly a dozen cases in the typically Landis manner, which once caused a convicted bootlegger to refer to him as “that white-haired hell-cat in federal court,” and & pardoned youth to term him the "whitest guy that ever talked to a fellow.” He fined one man 1 cent for tax.dodging, because, he said, “you've trled to be square,” and slap- ped a 356,000 fine on the man's part- ner because he “hadn’t played fair."

It was in this surrounding that the air of the government official was swept away and tears trickled down the cheeks not only of the judge but of several of his visitors. Persons from all stages of life came to clasp his hand. Bank presidents and soclety leaders mingled with la- borers and occasionally a former prisoner with whom the judge had been lenfent. H| The judge showed the greatest emotion when reporters presented him with a signed testimonial wish- ing him luck, saying he was “taking the life of the joint away,” and that they would always remember him as an “honest-to-God man and a judge with the right kind of backbone.” After reading it the judge swung his big chair around so the reporters could ‘not see him, and When he §i|turned back five minutes later his cheeks and eyes glistened with tears.
