NEW YORK AP — Judge Learned Hand, distinguished jurist revered by his colleagues as the apostle of liberty under the law is dead at the age of 89.
His death of heart failure at St. Luke's Hospital Friday brought expressions of regret and respect from across the nation.
"He was one of the great legal minds of our history, ranking with John Marshall and Oliver Wendell Holmes," said Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy in Washington.
"His indomitable spirit, his unfailing faith in hs fellow man and hs unshakable belief In a free democratic society have made this country a better place for his fellow Americans," Kennedy added.
Associate U.S. Supreme Court Justice John M. Harlan said Hand's" place in the American judiciary will live on as an inspiration to all lawyers on both sides of the Atlantic who recognize him as one of the great jurists of his generation."
Hand, who retired in 1951 as chief judge of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals - the busiest federal appeals court in the land - often was called the "10th justice of the U.S. Supreme Court."
Hand never achieved the highest court bench. The verbal tribute stemmed from the high regard in which he and his opinions were held by
those who did.
He wrote 2,000 opinions during his 42 years of active service as a federal judge - 27 of which were spent on the Appeals Court bench and 15 on a district bench. Many of his opinions won literary acclaim.
Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo once described him as "the most distinguished living English-speaking jurist."
The jurist was born Billings Learned Hand in Albany, N. Y., on Jan. 27, 1872, into a family of colonial stock. He dropped his first name in early manhood in favor of Learned, his mother's maiden name.
He was graduated from Harvard after a brilliant academic career and went into a law office in Albany, subsequently becoming a partner in the firm. He moved to New York several years later and soon was established as a successful lawyer.
Appointed to the federal bemnch for the Southern District of New York by President William Howard Taft in 1909, he remained a federal jurist until retirement in 1951 - longer than any other federal judge.
Even after retirement, he sat as judge on special assignments.
President Calvin Coolidge elevated him to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, in 1924. The court has jurisdiction over Vermont, Connecticut and New York. He became senior Judge of that court in 1939.

- Wedding Announcement (Utica Herald-Dispatch, NY, Saturday, December 6, 1902)
One of the most brilliant nuptial events of the season was solemnized at Grace Church at 2 o'clock this afternoon, when, In accordance with the beautiful and impressive marriage rite of the Episcopal Church, Frances Amelia Fincke of this city and Learned Hand of Albany were made man and wife. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. W. Bellinger, rector of the church, and took place in the presence of a large number of friends of the couple, who enjoy a very great measure of well deserved popularity and esteem. The church decorations in honor of the occasion were exceedingly elaborate and artistic, and all the circumstances, in fact, tended to make the event one of beauty and Interest.
While the guests were assembling the church organist rendered a number of appropriate selections.
The bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, Frederick Fincke, and the way to the altar was led by the eight ushers, Charles Lowell Harlow, Gordon Knox Bell and Robert Pendelton Bowler of New York, Edward De Shon Brandegee and Reginald Fincke of Utica, Harold Jefferson Coolidge of Boston, and Augustus Hand and Davis Vail of New York. The bridesmaids were Miss Frances Arnold, Miss Mildred Minturn and Miss Marion Russell Taber of New York and Miss Lois Swan. The arrangement of white satin ribbon marking the divisions of seats was cared for by Master Francis Gilbert. At the altar the bridal party was met by the groom and his best man. who was Frederick Townsend of Albany. When the ceremony had been performed and the party retired from the church there was heard from the organ the Joyous strains of a march appropriate to the happy event. The decorations, the prevailing colors in which were green and white, consisted mainly of potted plants, palms and lilies, and had been very tastefully arranged in front of the chancel and before the choir stalls.
The dress of the bride was of white satin crepe de chine, trimmed with Brussels lace, and she wore a veil of white tulle and a wreath of orange blossoms. Her maids were gowned in white accordion plaited crepe de chine, trimmed with ecru lace and pale green chiffon. They wore black beaver hats trimmed with black ostrich feathers.

The groom is a son of the late Justice Hand, who was one of the Court of Appeals Judges, and a grandson of the late Judge Hand of the Supreme Court of New York. He is a nephew of Judge Learned, late of the Appellate Division. Mr. Hand graduated from Harvard University in 1893, and from Harvard Law School in 1896.
