Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:23814989 | President: William H. Taft |
27th President. Typed letter signed (TLS) "Wm H. Taft" as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, November 20, 1925, Supreme Court stationery, 8x10.5, to "Hon. Jacob Trieber / U.S. District Judge / Little Rock, Ark.", in full:Judge Augustus Hand, the Senior District Judge in New York, has written me that he would like very much to have you in February of March. He says in his letter that you like to come and that you can do about twice the work of an ordinary Judge. I am ...sure that when you are so much appreciated, you will feel like going to New York, if you can. They are in a great fight there, and until we get the three new additional Judges, we have to press where we can for Judges from other Circuits.
Taft has added one word in his own hand in the body of the letter.In very good condition.Jacob Trieber was the first Jew to serve as a federal judge in the United States, receiving his appointment from President McKinley. Serving from 1900 to 1927 as judge for the U.S. Circuit Court, Eastern District of Arkansas, he issued nationally important rulings on controversies that included antitrust cases (it was he who originally upheld the constitutionality of the Clayton Act), railroad litigation, prohibition cases, and mail fraud; some of his rulings, such as those regarding civil rights and wildlife conservation, were landmark decisions that have implications today. His broad, pro-civil rights interpretation of the constitutional guarantees of the Thirteenth Amendment, originally overturned by the post-Reconstruction U.S. Supreme Court, was validated sixty-five years later in a landmark 1968 equal opportunity case. Trieber was often called upon to sit on the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals when that court’s workload became heavy and an additional judge was needed. He heard over 350 Appeals Court cases and wrote the opinions for many of them. He was a particular favorite of Chief Justice William H. Taft, who engaged in a substantial correspondence with him, and who asked him to take on a number of significant projects.We authored the Presidential Autographs chapter in the 7th Edition of The Sanders Autograph Price Guide.
