Later Life and Death
After serving one term as governor, James declined to seek re-election and resumed his law practice. He married Emily Radcliffe Case, who had also lost her spouse, in 1941. In 1944, Governor Edward Martin appointed James to fill a vacancy on the Superior Court, on which he had previously served. However, he was narrowly defeated to remain on the court in 1944, losing to Democrat F. Clair Ross. He returned to Plymouth, where he practiced law and worked with local organizations for nearly thirty years.
James died at age 89, and is buried in Hanover Green Cemetery.
