    Judge in Cleveland. "ARMLESS MAN ELECTED JUDGE; WRITES WITH HIS PEN IN TEETH" in The Day book., November 11, 1915, LAST EDITION, Image 9 Weird story. He was railroader and lost both arms in two accidents. Then he studied law.
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    "THE ARMLESS JUDGE Ten years ago David Moylan was a railroad switchman workin in a Cleveland yard. A switch engine running in the dark without a headlight ran him down and cut off both his arms. That would have settled the fate of most men. And it did settled Moylan's fate--but not in the usual way. He firmly declined to pass the rest of his life in a state of semi-dependence on his relatives, or hold a tin cup for charitable nickels. Since he was disabled physically, Moylan decided to earn a living with his brains. They were good brains, although it had never occurred to him before to make much use of them. He had a pretty fluent tongue too. So the switchman made up his mind to be a lawyer. As soon as he got out of the hospital, Moylan bought a copy of Blackstone. He read it by turning the leaves with his tongue. He learned to write with his teeth. In three years he passed the state law examinations for admission to the bar, ranking among the first ten in a class of 205. That was seven years ago. Attorney Moylan has made a fair living ever since. But now he is Judge Moylan. On November 2d he was elected to the Cleveland municipal bench. And his professional brethren say that he'll make a mighty good judge." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn95060914/1915-11-19/ed-...

    Foto maravilhosa que marca uma época. Para mim parece uma jornalista em um momento de intervalo.O fundo transparece um local de reunião social - um centro comercial, um cinema ou coisa assim.
