He was born in Worcester, Mass., in 1873. at Holy Cross College and Georgetown University law school, municipal politics in 1901, when he was appointed Assistant Counsel. He is chiefly distinguished for his fight on transit, and phone rates during the tenure of office of Mayor Hylan.

la long re-ord in New York politics, I 'although he is not a native of the I "big ’burg.” Born in Worcester. Mass, In 11873, Judge O’Brien was educatedi at Holy Cross college and George-| town Vniversity law school. H I came to New York in ISJ7. after j qualifying as a lawyer, and engag i ed in private practice until his ap-1 pc’ntment in 1901 as assistant cor ] | poration counsel. During his ten-| tire of office in that capacity, Judge: O'Brien served under independent j Democratic, organization Demo-| cratlc and Republican chiefs, but I Ihe always remained a Tammany | Iman, faithful to the Hall and it.J I sachems. I . 0 Brien was appointed corporation counsel by Mayor Dylan in '1920 and distinguished himself in |many battles over transit, light and Iphone rates. Owing to this loiitin lual championship of the administration on such questions, he came to be regarded as the "battering rani’’ of the Hylanites. a title of 'which he was proud. One of the I highspots of his career was when j Ihr stood shoulder to shoulder with May r Dylan at Albany and 'fought for home rule for New York t’ity. The mayoral nominee became the Tamtnany candidate for Surrogate after the Hall boss. Charles F Murphy, had refused the nomination to Surrogate John P. <’ dtalan. The latter ran on an independent ticket, but O’Brien won easily over him and the Republican candidate, i Justice trank J. Coleman, after a campaign in which Mayor Dylan . stumped for him as an outstanding champion of the ’’rights of the city and the people against sinister in terests." It was in the same election that Alfr d E. Smith displaced - Nathan 1,. Miller as governor of ■ New York. As Surrogate. Judge O'Brien has been called upon to decide manV important will cases, one of the most notable of which was the Erlanger will fight in which he I handed down a 95.000 word judg■lment. one of the longest, if not the II longest, on record.
