John R. Brady
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John R. Brady was a justice of the New York Supreme Court, best know for administering the presidential oath of office to Chester A. Arthur .
President Garfield died over two months after he was shot by an assassin, Charles Guiteau. Arthur, then Vice President, became his successor. Judge Brady swore in Arthur in Arthur's private apartment at 123 Lexington Avenue in New York City in the early hours of September 20, 1881.
Arthur, however, was inaugurated again two days (September 22) later publicly on Capitol Hill by Chief Justice of the United States Morrison R. Waite.
