HEARTBREAK 33 taught at the University of Tulsa and Oral Roberts. In a photo of the foursome, Spellman looks the very model of a serious young lawyer in rep tie and button-down collar. His flip side was the jazz aficionado who entertained friends by crooning popular tunes as they walked down the street. Spellman graduated in the top 10 percent of the Class of 1953, and was admitted to the Washington State Bar on September 25. Over the years, he closely followed Williams’ storied career. Their paths didn’t cross again until the 1970s in the lobby of the Camelback Inn at Scottsdale. Williams was by then not only famous but rich. He owned the Washington Redskins and was in Arizona for a meeting of National Football League owners. “He was surrounded by press and admirers, but I reintroduced myself as one of his former students and told him I was now the King County executive, trying to get an NFL team for our domed stadium.”
34 CHAPTER FIVE Kane & Spellman Judge Charles P. Moriarty, the newly-appointed U.S. Attorney in Seattle, had some advice for the polite young lawyer looking for a job: “Don’t be so modest.” Spellman had weighed an offer to clerk for a Supreme Court judge in Oregon. It was tempting. “But if I go to Oregon,” he said to himself, “I’ll stay there the rest of my life. I like Washington.” So he went to see Moriarty, one of his father’s grade-school classmates and the ex-officio “family lawyer” for Seattle University. 1 Moriarty’s daughter Jean and Lois Murphy, now John’s steady girlfriend, were chums. The judge’s son, Chuck Jr., was John’s age and friends with Frank and Joel Pritchard, Dan Evans and a whole crew of bushy-tailed young Seattle Republicans. Chuck Jr. would soon land a job as administrative assistant to Republican Congressman Tom Pelly. John didn’t mention to Judge Moriarty that he was Bart Spellman’s son—as if Moriarty didn’t know. Connections were nothing to be ashamed of, Moriarty counseled. “You shouldn’t be reluctant to use your father’s name. He’s well known. He’s a good man, and that’s a plus for you.” Moriarty was impressed by John’s achievements at Georgetown. He also seemed more mature than most 27-year-olds. “I don’t have any openings now,” he said, “but I expect to have some in October. Stick around.” Lois mentioned that Joe Kane, one of their favorite professors at Seattle U, was now practicing law. John paid him a visit on the 10th floor of the landmark Smith Tower. “I’m up to my neck in cases!” Kane declared, evidenced by a desk awash in papers. “Why don’t you help me until you get the appointment?” “Joseph Sylvester Kane was a very bright, principled guy—a civil rights activist who had worked for the ACLU,” Spellman says. “He was a wonderful professor, but he hadn’t practiced nuts-and-bolts law very much. Pretty soon I was up to my neck in cases. When a job opened with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, I was already on track to becoming his law partner, 34
