The result of the twelfth ballot was: Clark 547, Wilson 354, Underwood 123, Harmon 129, and v Marshall 30. Murphy, of New York, asked for a recess at that time. . , The situation is badly muddled ad a conferences of the bosses to day may decide on forsaking Clark. It is know now that Murphy last night promised the Clark leaders that ; be would throw ninety votes to Clark when the Clarkites told him sueh an act would atart a stampede and that Clark would surely go over on that ballot or - first -or second succeeding one.

Montgomery was born in Montgomery eom.ty August 14, 1834, and waa tbe eldest son of tue late Dr. and Mrs. J. IL Mont gomery. Hs entered tbe University of North Carolina at aa early age and was graduated in tbe class of 1855. He taught school in bis native county in itvxi. in lso-oa be read law un der Judge Pearson. He obtained his license to practice law" in 1858-v.. Soon after obuining hie license he was married to Miss Mary CottrelL of" Jones boro. Tens. He located in Albemarle and practiced there until 1861, when he entered the Confeder ate army as a captain and was af terwards promoted to Major and then to lieutenant colonel. ' In 1862 be re signed his post in the army fal ac cepted 'the position of solicitor of Stanly county and continued in that office until county courts were abol ished. In 1867 he moved to Concord and has since practiced here. Soon after moving here his wife died, leav ing three children, Mrs. J. B. Sherrill, of this city, and Mrs. E. C. Register snd Dr. J. C. Montgomery, of Char lotte. ,- Judge Montgomery rose rapidly at the bar and be was soon a great power in his profession and in the civic life ' of his town snd section. In 1874 he was nominated by the Democrats for solicitor of the sixth (now twelfth) judicial district and elected. As selici- ltor he soon attained a great reputa tion and was recognised as one ' of the most vigorous prosecuting attor neys in the State.4 He was re-elected in 1878 and held the office until .Jan-' uary, 1883. During bis terms aa solici tor he kept up and largely increased his eivil-praetiee..'. In 1885 W was appointed judge of the eighth judicial district by Gover nor Scales and was nominated and elected to the same position in 1886. - Several years after the death o his first wife he was married to Miss Lou Richmond,-of Caswell county, who with six children survive him, name ly: ;, Mrs.! J. Hasel Witherspoon, of Lancaster. B. u.; Mrs, J. U. Lents, Messrs. C-nVT'J.,' 'ancrrr and Miss Shirley' Montgomery, ' of Con cord. Judge Montgomery resigned his position in order that he might be ith his family and devote his time to the practice of his profession. He never had any political aspirations, although he was a staunch Democrat and always gave his , influence and ability for the success of his party, being an active campaign orator in many campaigns. Many times be was urged by his friends to seek political preferment but he always declined in order that he might devote himself entirely to his profession. He soon rose to the forefront of his profession, being considered by all as one of the most learned law yers and powerful pleaders at he bar this section of the State. As a solicitor he attained a great reputa tion as a vigorous and fearful prose cutor and no man who ever held that position was more feared by evil do ers than Judge Montgomery. But by his legal brethren and those who were familiar with his career at the bar he was considered stronger on de fense. He was probably employed in as many capital cases throughout his career as any lawyer in the State and when not performing bis duties as solicitor he never appeared in a capital case except on the defense. In all the eases of this character he made the remarkable record of never hav ing a client hung or electrocuted. His career, at the bar was in no sense confined locally. as .be appeared in many of the largest and most sensa tional cases iu the State and his ser vices were frequently sought in coun ties hi the western section,' more es pecially in Rowan, Stanly, Meeklen burg; Polk, and Montgomery. 4 As a eitken Judge : Montgomery, was a model for his community. He was. a loyal citizen and to and cause that tended to the civic, moral, or material betterment Of his town and community he was ever on the alert to bend his strong influence. He num bered his friends in every class and conditions of people and in him the poor and unfortunate ever found ready mend, who not only gave them a sympathetic ear but whose life was filled with kind deeds in their behalf. Judge Montgomery was a man-of charming and magnetic personality and a gallant, courteous, , dignified gentleman. " He was devoted to his family and his home and after leav in his office in the aftarnoon he never left his home unless on argent musi- ness. His chief diversion wss the culture of his flower garden, which was always a source ox great person- an pride with him. ? Throughout his life he was an ac tive member of the Methodist church and. had been a steward in Central church, since his residence here. For I many years he taught a Sunday school there which numbered a large enrollment. He was a most profound Bible student snd for M-h tmr fro ths past fifty-three years he read the1 oioie inrongn, reading a certain num ber of chapters each day. He waa also a member of the board of trustees ef Tnjnty College and always msmfest ed great interest in tbe welfara of that instiutkm. By his death tbe eit- isenahip of North.
