The death in Raleigh Saturday night of Judge Walter Montgomery removes one of the state’s most lovable characters. Though a first class lawyer and a former justice of the supreme court, he was not active in practice during the past several years, devoting his time to historical research and writing. Judge Montgomery was one of the most fearless public men in the state. If he considered a thing right, no winds were strong enough to make him change his course.
