CAREER OF EMINENT JURIsT

Hon. l.. ID. Husbands, 81 years old.
one OF the Oldest and most noted
jurists In the state, lies at the point
of death, and physicians say he can
live but a short time. This morning
at o'clock 1t was reported that he
had died, his pulse having disap-
peared entirely Physicians were sum
moned and a minute examination
showed that life was not extinct. and
stlmulants survived him; but his
pulse is weak and is kept up only by
the stimulants.
Lorenzo Dow Husbands. lawyer,
was born December is. 1923, in Chris
tian county, Ky. where the family
settled In 1905. When two years Old
his parents removed TO Crttenden

which he began as a partner to Judge
Morrow. In 1855 he was elected to
the Office of commonwealth attor-
.ney, which he filed with ability for
one year. In 1859 he represented
McCracken county IN the state legis-
lature for one term.
Col. Husbands was never politl-
clan in the accepted sense of the tern.
but he welded a potent influence in
public matters. He was always \
Democrat. He Is man of splendid
appearance. tall and straight and inn
presses every one as a man possessed
of more than ordinary talent. Judge
Husbands was a lawyer of great abll-
lty and easily takes rank as one of the
greatest OF his times in the state
He is a gentleman of the old school.
of great integrity. true to his clients,
and friends and urbane to all. Among
his associates of the profession he
is acknowledged to be one OF the
foremost and talented lawyers in
Kentuckf He possesses a logical
mind and in the practice OF his pro-
fession always treated his opponents
with due respect seeking to convince
by sound argument, rather than by
wittlcisms or sharp practice. AS a
chanery lawyer he, perhaps, has no
equal in the commonwealth. Col.
Husbands was deservedly successful
I'm his profession. Commencing as n
poor boy. by marked ability he ac-
quired a handsome fortune, and is
now perhaps one of the largest land
owners in the county. He was al
ways charitable and consequently
is greatly respected and loved. He
was married in 1851 to Miss Hannah
Singleton. and in 1859 contracted his
second marriage. this time to Mrs.
Bullock, a daughter of -. w. Cook,
of Caldwell county.
Judge Husbands served several
terms as a councilman and was city
attorney for three terms. He was
elected in 1897 circuit judge and
served the full term of six years.
Judge Husbands was chief justics
in a special court of appeals appoint.

years ago and rendered the opinion.
SO complete was the opinion that It
was published in pamphlet form and
