Federal judge (1896–1985) who swore in Lyndon B. Johnson as President of the United States on Air Force One after JFK’s assassination. Souvenir typescript, four page, 8.5 x 11, detailing the justice’s role in the swearing-in of Lyndon B. Johnson, signed at the bottom of the last page in fountain pen, “Sarah T. Hughes.” In part: “I was escorted up the ramp by the chief of police to the front door, where one of the Vice-President’s aides and the Secret Service met me. I was trying to explain that I did not have the presidential oath but could give it anyway when someone handed me a copy…The Vice-President and Mrs. Kennedy wanted to be present for the ceremony, and in a very few minutes she appeared. Her face showed her grief, but she was composed and calm. She, too, exemplified the courage this country needs to carry on. The Vice-President leaned toward her and told her I was a U.S. judge appointed by her husband. My acknowledgement was, ‘I loved him very much.’” In fine condition, with light handling wear and stapled at the top left corner.
