Siddons Mr. Siddons was born in London, in 1864, and has been a resident of the District of Columbia since 1878. In 1892 he married Miss Harriet Charles Van Auken, of Virginia. They have one daughter, Mary Elizabeth, and one son, Frederick Philip Heyward. He was admitted to the bar in 1887, and in 1890 organized the law firm of Ralston & Siddons. Mr. Siddons has figured in a number of notable court cases. He was associated with Alton B. Parker, former Democratic candidate for the Presidency, for the defense in the Gompers-Mitchell-Mor- rison contempt case. He was also engaged in the famous pious fund case, the first Issue to be tried by The Hague International Court, in which the United States won. He is a piember of the District Bar Association, the American Society of International Law, the Commercial Law League of America, and many local civic and commercial bodies. Mr. Siddons has for many years been known as a liberal and progres- sive. As a citizen he has been untiring in good works, a student of social conditions and an earnest worker for their betterment. He has served with credit as a commissioner of the District of Columbia and was recently hon- ored by the President by being nominated as associate justice of the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia. It is safe to say that with his clear understanding of human nature, and keen insight into motives and purposes, he will be an ideal judge, en- abled to guide the course of causes on trial before him so as to work out real and substantial justice. His gentle, kindly disposition, his well-known impartial bearing, his keen sense of justice, well fit him to make one of the best judges that has ever graced the bench in Washington. Hon.
