Stewart H. Jones (c. 1909 – March 16, 1976) was an American attorney who served as the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut from 1969 to 1974 under President Richard Nixon.
Jones attended Ramsey Hall and the Hotchkiss School before graduating from Yale University in 1930 and Yale Law School in 1933. He later served in the United States Army Air Force during World War II.[1]
After the war, Jones established a law practice in Greenwich, Connecticut. In 1958, he was appointed Assistant Town Counsel, and the following year, he became Town Counsel. His legal career took a prominent turn when Senator Lowell P. Weicker Jr. recommended him for the position of U.S. Attorney for Connecticut in 1969. He was subsequently appointed by Richard Nixon.[2]
In 1973, near the end of his term, Jones suffered a stroke. Though his tenure officially ended in 1974, he remained in the position while waiting for a replacement. His Chief Assistant, Harold J. Pickerstein, served as Acting U.S. Attorney following Jones's health issues.[3]
Jones passed away on March 16, 1976, at the age of 66, after complications from his 1973 stroke. He lived with his wife, Margaret, in Greenwich, Connecticut. A man of many interests, he co-founded the Karate Institute of Greenwich and was a collector of Japanese stoneware.
