York County bar.
HON. WILLIAM P. HAINFs.

The nlme of William p. Haines of Biddeford
is also borne upon the rolls of members be-
longing to the York County Bar, but unfor-
tunately for the profession he left TIE practice
OF the law after demonstrating his ability to
grasp its highest honors.
MIR. Haines is native of Canterbury, N. H.;
was graduated at Dartmouth College in the
class OF 1881, and admitted to practice III 1888.
He commenced the practice OF law the same
wear at Saco. in company with the late Gov.
Fairfield. which partnership continued until
dissolved by the death OF Gov. f. in Washing
ton The being then "a Senator IRON this State)
Dec 4th, 1917. Owing to the absence Of Mr..
Fairfield Mr.. Samuel Bradley, a gentleman
distinguished for eloquence and learning, be-
came member of the firm in 1876 and was
associated with Mr.. Hanes till 1S47.
In 1917 Mr.. HaiGes babe adieu courts OF law
and became the agent OF the Saco Water-Power
Co. which owned the mill sites on Sac0 river
at Saco aud Biddeford Upon the erection of the
reDpereii NJ lis III 1850 he became agent Of The
Company owning the N, and continued to act
in that capacity until 1866, when he became
| Treasurer of that and the Lacona Co. The

| again the agent OF the Pepperell Go. During
| the twelve years in which he practlced law at
| Saro, he was distinguished Tor sound learning
| and persuasive eloquence that seldom iaile0
10 capuya'e a jury. Ii seems almost a Djty
that gentleman so perfectly adapted by ma
| lute aud ualnlng to achieve the highest dis
| tinctOH III the profession should turn his b ok
| forever upon the scene OF his early triumphs
just as he had secured a foremost place and es.
| tablished reputation second to none with
whom he was brought ia contact. But there
| are many pursuits that offsr 81 eater pecuniary
| inducements aud more substantial rewards
than the fleeting glores of the Court room
| and as q consequence sthe law loses here and
| there one well qualified TO win and wear its
| brightest laureIs.
| HON. INCREASE s. KINBALL.
Increase S. Kimball of Sanford, was admit

| the younger members of the profession as one
| OF the Fathers" His lie has been devoted
| to his profession aud has been succession o
hard fought battles for the mastery, befor,
court and jury. After nearly forty years o
active service, it is safe to say that the cain
verdict of the community is that he is a MAJ
OF great natural ability and rugged comm6
sense-possessed withal of singularly reten
tive memory, sharp eye for ''all the points,
adauntless courage and an infiexible will
. | His utter devotion to the cause of his client
sublime, and he prepares his causes for tra
with the most scrupulous attention to ever
| detail. When in the court room, he proceed
| to trial very much as a skilliul General pro
ceeds to baltle-wary, cautious and prudenG a
| the start, watching for every mistake and falls
move of bis opponent planting meantime hi
own batteries IN the most advantageous posi-
ton and at length bearing down upon his ad
: versary and the jury in an mpetuous and over
whelming charge. What he lacks in polish
, made up in power, and woe to that ''youD
| disciple" who underestimate his influence b
reason of his sometimes rude, but never ine1
, pressive phrase. The jury knows what b
means. Mr. Kimbal has frequently had
| seat in the legislature and has TWICE been
: member of the Executive Council. He wa
County Attorney in 1865, '66-7.
