Thomas Carmody

Thomas Carmody (October 9, 1859 in Milo, Yates County, New York – January 22, 1922 in New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York) was an American lawyer and politician.

He was District Attorney of Yates County from 1889 to 1893, and Chief Examiner of the State Civil Service Commission from 1893 to 1896.

In 1913, he got involved in a controversy with zoo director William Temple Hornaday over the Federal Migratory Bird law which in Carmody's opinion was unconstitutional.

On July 20, 1914, he announced his and First Deputy Attorney General Joseph A. Kellogg's resignation to take effect on September 1, and their intention to open a law firm with State Senator George A. Blauvelt at 61 Broadway in New York City.

He caught a cold while trying a case at White Plains, New York and died four days later of pneumonia at his home at 95 Locust Avenue in New Rochelle.
