James L Pugh was born in Eufaula Barbour County, Alabama, January 17, 1S62, thirty-six years ago. He studied law at the University of Vir ginia and was graduated from the Georgetown University, tnis city, and was admitted to the bar in 18S5 Was appointed prosecuting attorney at the Police Court, November 1891. This young man is, no doubt, the most popular prosecuting attorney that has ever been ai the Court. Hs fair dealings with prisoners and the justice he displays have won for him a host of friends. Mr. Pugh is a southern man by birth, and his form er contact with the people, the colored people in the south, has fully educated him in their manners and ways. If it were left with the colored people in this city, instead of being prosecuting officer, he would be elevated to a judgeship. The members of the bar, to a man, have the highest respect and admiration for him. Whatever his politics may be, he never allows it to enter a case that he is to prosecute. He is fair, just and honorable. His manners are pleasing, without the slightest taint of distaste. He has instituted many reforms in this Dis trict, which have been most beneficial to the community. There is not a member of the bar but what has a good word for Mr. Pugh. v : A' " " j' i 1 wV " m I i n I i r v W. & : V V f 1 i M Lf . r- 4' JV v v t f i' .1. B 1 1 'A 4" I Bh 1 t-... f v . -, .m ..
