A MEMORIAL BY
JOHN D. CLARK

�JOHN W. LACEY
1848-1936

This memorial article written by John D. Clark when the distinguished
career of Judge Lacey closed in February, 1936, is republishetl by
the American National Bank of Cheyenne for distribution to
the lawyers of \Vyoming. Judge Lacey was an interested
and helpful stockholder of the bank almost from its
beginning, and Dr. Clark was one of the organizers and is an active director.

�EM.ORY is not long enough to reach beyond
the time when Judge John W. Lacey was a
familiar figure to me. In those early years of
his Wyoming career he had already attained distinction. The half century which has now passed has
enlarged, not diminished, that eminence.
In more than one respect his qualities were
unique. M.any great lawyers have been leaders of
their communities and so it is not surprising that he
long held that position in Cheyenne and in Wyoming.
But whereas this leadership is ordinarily the outcome of active participation in public affairs in which
legal ability and prominence add to the man's influence, Judge Lacey's participation in such affairs
was always non-assertive and reticent. His influence in these matters was the reflection of his
high repute as a lawyer.
Nor is there any parallel which comes to mind
of one with similar breadth and intensity of fame as
the leader of the bar of any state. His reputation
passed beyond the profession and permeated the
business world, reaching even into those ranks of

�the population which have no interest • 1
in awyers.
It was of such a quality that he attained an a u th onty
•
the like of which I have never observed anywhere in
the United States.

"Getting an opinion from Judge

Lacey'' was more than a proposal to secure the best
possible legal advice; in the opinion of business men
and laymen it was even more than the equivalent of
securing a judgment from the supreme court of
Wyoming.

The supreme court might be wrong.

substantial royalty on future oil production. The
secretary rejected the offer upon the advice of his
solicitor that there was no basis for settlement
because the government was sure to win. But the
legal argument made by Judge Lacey, whom I
selected in preference to any of the lawyers of
national repute who were suggested by my associates, persuaded a unanimous supreme court to
construe the statute in favor of the title claimed by
the state.

His ability was of the first rank in nearly every
branch of the lawyer's work.

His arguments upon

points of law, where his supreme power of rigid
analysis had its fullest play, were always works of
art and were seldom unsuccessful.

I believe my

last contact with him as an advocate was in connection with litigation with the federal government
over the title to oil land which the state claimed and
had leased to my company. The only question was
the correct construction of an act of congress under
which the state claimed the title.

While the con-

troversy wa~ pending in the supreme court of the
United States I made a compromise offer to the
Secretary of the Interior of a million dollars and a

Of all of his exceptional qualities the one I most
admired was his mastery of the technique of understatement. Because I am forever suffering for
lack of even the slighest capacity in that respect I
always envy one who exhibits it, and never have I
found a lawyer or lecturer who even approached
Judge Lacey in its skillful use. His method was
his own and would have been amusing had it not
been so successful. In a conference or discussion
he seldom made a dogmatic statement, but would
offer a succession of tentative judgments, each so
reasonable that assent could hardly be refused and
so phrased that assent led one into the appearance

I.

�of having made the statement himself so that he
could not hesitate when the premises so readily
accepted forced a conclusion which would otherwise
have been contested. He not only compelled your
agreement upon a principle, judgment or plan which
you knew was incorrect; he did it in such a way
that you believed you had argued yourself into the
agreement. And some of us try to win arguments
by the loudest shouting I

He was always gracious as well as courteous and
he seldom failed to find an opportunity to lift up the
spirits of a defeated young opponent by saying a
word of commendation for some feature of his
effort.
At no time has the bar of Wyoming contained a
group of lawyers to challenge the prestige of those
who were the leaders of the profession when the
territory became a

I regret for the younger members of the bar the
passing of their opportunity to profit by observation
of Judge Lacey in action and by occasional contact
with him as opponent. It was my good fortune to
begin the practice when he actively exercised his
fullest powers in a field where we were often brought
into association and into conflict and no part of my
legal training was as important as that experience.
The lessons gained from him as an opponent were,
of course, the most lasting and therefore the most
vclluable. They usually involved the sting of defeat
but never were they humiliating on account of any
word or attitude of Judge Lacey.

His court manner

was as impeccable as his technique was skillful.

state.

Among them

Judge

Lacey found worthy competitors. As they passed he
emerged more distinctly as the leader of the profession until he became a lonely figure.

There

remain a tiny group of our colleagues who began
the practice during territorial days and later became
distinguished. But when Judge Lacey retired the
last of the great pioneers was gone. The greatest
of them was the last.

Death of Honor ble John W. Lacey
UDGE JOH N W. LACE ', known as th e Nestor of the
Wyoming legal pr fession, passed away at hi s
home in Cheyenne at 5 . M., Tuesda y, February ll,
in his eighty-seventh year.
Judge Lacey was born in Randolph Co unt y, Indi ana, on October 13, 1848, the so n of the Reverend
Henry J . Lacey and Elizabeth (Thompso n ) Lacey.
His father was a Methodist mini ster, who rea red a
famil y of four so ns and three daughter .
While the boy's earl y educati on wa s secured in
the public schoo ls of the va riou town - in whi ch the
famil y resided, pursuant to the custom of itinerant
ministr y in the Methodist Church, a wa then conducted, he, after co mpl etin g his elementar y ed ucation, entered DePauw Uni versity of I ndiana, and
wa graduated therefrom with th e cla of 1871.
Thereafter he took up the profession of tea hing, his
initi al step toward the p rofession whi ch he later
adopted and adorned.
The yo ung Mr. Lacey began readin g law under the
direction of Isaac Van Devanter, of Ivla ri on , Indi ana,
lVIr. Van Devanter retaining th e yo ung man in hi s
office until his admission to the bar in 1875. Durin g
the four-year stud y peri od, he also read law for a
short interva l in the office of William O' Brien of
No blesvill e, Indiana.
Between Judge Lacey's grade schoo l days and the
beginning of his college ca reer, he enlisted as a private so ldier in Company F of the 137th Indiana Infantry. when but 15 yea rs of age, se rving until th e
close of the War. In this connection, it is proper to
say that the United States Army, in which Judge
Lacey served at a very tender age, rendered him full
military honors in the form of minute gun firing
during the funeral hour.
Judge Lacey began the practice of law in l\farion,
Indiana, wh ere he remained until 1884, when he was
appointed by President Arthur to the position of
Chief Justice of the Territory of Wyoming, sen ing
in this. the highest judicial office in the Territory,
until 1886, when in November of that year he resigned his position upon the bench to enter into the
partnership of W. W. Corlett and Judge John A.
Riner, under the firm name of Corlett, Lacey &amp;
Riner. Following the death of Mr. Corlett, the partnership continued under the firm name of Lacey &amp;
Riner, until Mr. Riner was appointed United States
District Judge in 1890. Somewhat later, Judge Lacey
entered into partnership with his brother-in-law,
Willis Van Devanter, who for the past several years,
has occupied the exalted position of Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Judge

Lacey's partnership with Justice Van Devanter terrninatir g in 1897.
Ju dge Lacey was appointed General Co unsel for
the ni on Pacific Railroad in Wyoming in 1889, at
a time when the fortunes of the Railroad Company
were at a rather low ebb, his service continuing
th ro ugh the receivership period, the purchase of
same by Mr. W. H . Harriman, and th ereafter
through the reconstruction period, co ntinuin g until
hi s resignati on a few year ago.
Judge Lacey wa · po e ed of a keen, rapid, log•
ical mind. with a continued capacity fo r hard work.
T hough of mall phy ique, one had to address Judge
Lacey but bri efl y before r ecognizi ng hi s ea rnest, di gnifi ed, courteo u manner.
Judge Lacey wa united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Van Devanter, daughter of Mr. Isaac Van Deva nter. before referred to, and who still survi ves,
and to them wer born six children. A so n, Herbert
V., perfected him self in the profession of law, and
wa hi _ fath er"s pa rtn er until his untimely death a
few year ago . Dr. \Va lter M., another so n, who survives, wa a cap tain in the United States Army at
F ort Ril ey. Kan sas, now engaged in the practice of
med icine at Cheyen ne. A daughter, Ruth , became th e
wife of W. H. Barber, now residing at Greeley, Co lorado . Ano ther daughter. Mrs. James Speer, resides
at Knoxville, Tennessee, also Mrs. John McGee at
Cas per. Wyo min g, and Mrs. William Hankins, Uniontoll'n , Pennsylvania.
In 1874. Judge Lacey received the degree of A. M.
fro m his alma mater, DePauw, and in 1914, he was
acco rded the degree of LLD . from the University of
De11\'er. Judge Lacey's political affiliations were
with the Republican party. He also received various
Masonic degrees through both the York and Scottish
Rite. In recent years, Judge Lacey, with Mrs. Lacey,
made numerous and extended trips abroad.
Funeral services were held at the family h.orne at
Cheyenne, at 2:30 P. M., Thursday, February 13,
with Reverend Charles A. Bennett of St. Mark's
Episcopal Church officiating. The remains of Judge
Lacey were borne to the grave by prominent members of the Wyoming Bar, and with him passed one
of the most brilliant and constructive legal minds
that ever graced the western legal profession.

of course, one reason for this in the circumstances of Mark Twain's famou s household.
In the first flush of his success he had marri ed
Olivia Langdon, of Elmira, New York, who
was to be the adored mistress of his heart until
th e end and the merciless censor of all his
manuscripts. She edited everything, and, as he
was ruefully given to acknowledge, she edited
him ; the man he became was in grea t pa rt the
man of Olivia's makin g-no lon ger the reckless
and magnificen t Westerner but, as M r. Van
Wyck Brooks, his most searching critic, mai ntains, the ca ndidate for gentility and , in hi s
s pl endid Connecticut homes, a pill ar of New
England society.
But this conspi cuous positi on did not ch ange
the essential s of his spirit. Ma rk Tll"a in wa s
a Liberal to the marrow . He accep ted , with t.h e
fervour of reli gion, the old American doctrine.
His democratic republicanism made him an impassioned champion of racial and socia l justice, an outspoken opponent of civi c and politica l co rrupti on . He took his stand with th e defenders of clean government in New Yo rk
City; he was one cf the band which in the
American crisi s of ] 884, broke th e rock-ribbed
Grand Old Party and so help ed to ca rr y Grover
Cleveland into the Presidency. Hi pen was
ever at the servi ce of the oppressed, a nd, a s we
ma y recall with especial appropria teness today. th e fanati cs of anti-Semiti sm had no more
sn{ashin g antago nist than Ma rk Twain.
Throughout hi s la ter yea rs the con trast behreen his world-wide triumphs and the pessimism which. in ferociou s speech and violent
bursts of temper, he announced as hi s deepest
conviction made a probl em that his friend s refused to take seriously. Mark Twain, the di spenser of laughter among millions, exhau sted
the resources of the American language in denunciation of " the damned human race." Yet
that race insisted upon treating him as a favourite public character. Mark Twain was reckless and confiding in matters of business. With
an abandon that seems the merest folly he went
into publishing and financed an unworkable
type-setting machine at a time when he was
commanding the highest payment for his writing. He crashed, and then proudly started on a
world lecturing tour for the payment of his
debts. At sixty he was once more a free man
and in the enjoyment of an almost unequalled
renown . He was America's representative man
-picturesque in his white suit and his wonderful white mane; courted, flattered, indulged;
interviewed on every pretext or on none; the
acknowledged and beloved master of American
wisdom, wilfulness, kindly malice, humour. In
1907, three years before his death, Oxford tendered him the honour which he held in higher
~steem than any other. "Although," he wrote,

" I wouldn't cross an ocean again for the price
of the ship that ca rried me, I am glad to do it
for an Oxford degree"; and he would have
liked to wear the gown of the Oxford honorary
doctor over the celebrated white su it. Mark
Twain of Missouri!

�HON. J'OHN Vl. LACEY
(Copied from "History of Vlyoming, 1• Vol. II.)

Hon. J'ohn w. Lacey, senior partner in the law fi:cm
of Lacey &amp; Lacey, of Cheyenne, and at one time chief justice
of Wyoming, was born in Randolph county, Indiana, October 13,
1848, a son of the -lev. Henry J. and Elizabeth (Thompson)
Lacey.

The father -.;ms a liethodis"ii minister and 1?eared a family

of fou:r sons and three daughters.

\"J ell descended and v1ell

bred, Judge Lacey had t he advantages offered in a home of
culture and refinement.
:!-Ie pu:r:med hi s education in the public s chools of
var ious tovms in 1:rhich the family lived 0\7in g to the custom
of itine1?ant minira-tzy in the IIIe·lihodist church at that pe:ciod.
Later he entered DePaurr Univer s ity of Indiana. and 'l.'JaS graduated

therefrom nitn. the class of 1871.

He took up i,he :profession

of teaching, Tihich he follo\7ed for a short time, but regarded ·
this merely as an initial step to o th.er professional activity
and began reading l~a under the direction of Isaac Van Devanter,
of Marion, Indiana, vJbo 1~emained bis pziecepto;e until he was
admitted to the bar in 1875.

~ rior to 1875 he had read law

at intervals in the office of '1'lillia.m O'Brien of Jfoblesville,
Indiana,

It has been said that a lar.ryer's e:i(perience should

be as broad as the uni verse, for he has to do m. th every
phase of life.

Judge Lacey brought to the starting point

of hie career certain rare giftra -- eloquence of language and
a strong personality.

He, moreover, had back of' him experience

as a soldier of the Civil uar.

He uas only fifteen years of

age when he enlisted for active service at the front, becoming

�r

2

-

a member of Company F of the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh
Indiana Infe.ntry, ttl th vrhi ch he served until the close of the
war.

His training, too, at home had been of that kind which

develops cllarac·ter a nd self-i•eliance.

He ente1·ed upon the

practice of his profes sion in Marion, Indiana, where he re-

mained until 1884, when he was appointed by P re s ident .Al.·thur
to the position of chief jus tice of Wyoming and se1·ved in the
highest jucliciaJ. office of the te:-c:ritory until 1886.

In November

of that year, having resigned his position upon the bench, he
entered into partnership \1 i th W. \'! . Corlett and Judge John A.
Rin,er under the firm style of Corlett, Lacey &amp; Riner.

Follovring

the death of Hr. Corlett t he partnershi p was continued under
the firm nDIDe of Lacey &amp; Riner a nd so existed until the junior
partner uas appointed United States district judge in 1890.
Later Mro Lac ey entered into partnershi p relations ~ith his

brother -in-lat/: \'Jilli s Van Devan ter, -v1ho is no w a justice of
the United States supreme Court, and ~as thus associated until
1897, but is now senior partner in the firm of Lacey &amp; Lacey,
a firm that ranks with the foremost practicing at the ba:r of
Cheyenne.

Nature endo,;red him ,n. th some of ·i;hose qualities

indispensable to the lawyer -- a keen, rapid, logical mind
plus the business sense and a ready capacity for hard uork.

An excellent presence, an eamest, dignified manner, marked
strenc;th of character, a thorough gra.SJ.) of the law and the

ability to accurately apply its principles are factors in his
effectiveness as an advocate.
In 1878 Judge Lacey "1:12.s united in marriage to Miss

In 1874 the d eg:r ee of A. ].L was conferred upon Judge
Lacey by his alma materi De Paug University, and i n 1914 he
received the degree of LL. D. from the Universi~J o f Denver.
In his political vieus he is a republican and upon a l l the
vital ques·tions of the day keep s abreast vri th the be s t thinking
men of the a ge.

Fraternally he i s a Mason a nd h a s taken the

A resident
