Frederick William Lehmann was an American lawyer. He was United States Solicitor General and rare book collector.
Background
Frederick William Lehmann was born in Prussia, to poor parents who emigrated to Cincinnati when he was about two. Sophia, his mother, soon died, and Frederick, the cobbler father, who married again, ruled with an iron hand. The boy ran away at eight and at ten left home permanently, never again seeing any of the family. Peddling newspapers and sleeping in vacant buildings, he spent the next seven years crossing the Middle West, working on farms, herding sheep, and getting an occasional term of school.
Education
At seventeen he was sent to Tabor College by Judge Epenetus Sears of Tabor, Iowa. He received the degree of A. B. in 1873.
Career
After "reading law" in benefactor's office of Judge Epenetus Sears, Lehmann was admitted to the Iowa bar. Practising first in Tabor and Sidney, Iowa, and Nebraska City, he later settled in Des Moines. He became attorney for the Wabash Railroad.
His railroad practice led him to remove to St. Louis in 1890. Here, serving some causes without charge, refusing others at any price, he soon had a reputation for fair dealing such as he had enjoyed in Iowa. In 1908 he was president of the American Bar Association. Named solicitor-general by President Taft in 1910, he accepted the appointment through professional rather than political interest. Declaring the government in error when he thought it so, and often delighting the Supreme Court by his wit, he served for two years, handling the cases which established the government's right to tax corporation incomes. He then resigned to practise with his sons.
In 1914, with Joseph Rucker Lamar, he represented the United States at the conference sponsored by Argentina, Brazil, and Chile to mediate between the United States and Mexico. In 1918 he was general counsel for the United States Railway Wage Commission. Republican one election, Democrat the next, Lehmann was politically independent from his college days, when he mounted the stump for Greeley. He believed in local self-government and considered prohibition a mistake. Frequently urged to seek office, he always refused, but in 1909 was appointed chairman of the Board of Freeholders which redrafted the St. Louis charter.
An omnivorous reader with a remarkable memory, a collector of books and prints, a brilliant conversationalist, he was characterized by Rabbi Leon Harrison as "the best educated man in St. Louis. " He was a founder of the art museum, president of the public library, a director of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904, and active in the Missouri Historical Society. Lehmann had a physique requiring what a cartoonist labeled "the widest banquet shirt front in St. Louis. " He enjoyed public speaking, for which he was in frequent demand.
His published addresses include: John Marshall (1901); The Lawyer in American History (1906); Abraham Lincoln (1908); Conservatism in Legal Procedure (1909); Prohibition (1910); and The Law and the Newspaper (1917). He was also the author of articles in Missouri Historical Society Collections (vol. IV, 1923), and in Messages and Proclamations of the Governors of . Missouri (vol. X, 1928). On May 10, 1932, Senator Glass had printed in the Congressional Record an opinion of Lehmann as solicitor-general, written twenty-one years before, which held national bank affiliates to be in violation of the law. He died of the infirmities of age, survived by his wife and three sons.
Achievements
Lehmann was active in politics, being instrumental in the election of a Democratic governor, Horace Boies, on an anti-prohibition platform. His most important cases in the course of private practice were those establishing the right of the Associated Press to news as property and securing for the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company the right to earn upon valuation determined by reproduction cost less depreciation.
