OLDEST LAWYER
IN VIRGINIA DEAD
Squire Thomas Thought to Have
Long Since Passed Century
Mark.
HIS EXACT AGE UNCERTAIN
Man Who Defended Murderer
Phillips in Henrico Passes
Away in County.

+. George washington Thomas, the old
est practicing lawyer In the state OF
Virginia. died yesterday in his nome
in venable street, in this city, after
a very short illness. He was in the
neighborhood OF 100 years old, and was
| in his office attending to his work as
| Justice of the Peace of Henrico county
on Tuesday. On Wednesday he was
incapacitnted for work. not by any
| illness, but by weakness due TO age,
and yesterday he died.
| George Washington Thomas, Jr.,
said last night he thought his father
| was 104 years old. Samuel +. Waddiil.
clerk of the Henrico County Court.
who has known Mr. Thomas we'll for
many, many years, said he thought
104 years was slightly more than Mr.
Thomas had attained. His Idea, now
ever. was that he had certainly passed
the century mark.
Mr. Thomas accepted his first work
as an officer In Henrico county a few
days before the Confederate War be-
gan. as constable. He held that po-
sition several years, during which
time he studied law. He then resigned
his office and took up the law.
In 1879 he was elected Common
wealth's Attorney for Henrico county.
and held that office until 1893. when Il
change In the political situation made
1t necessary for him to retire. Since
that time he had practiced law, and
was magistrate of the county. In
the last few years he had confined his
labors to the magistracy entirely on
account of the inirmities of age.
Recently Danced jig.
Until few days before his death
Squire Thomas. as he was known
throughout the county, was most I'M
usually active man. 1t is remembered
now that on one occasion when two
newspaper men went TO him for an
interview on a subject which was not
ready for publication. Squire Thomas
executed a double shuttle in the cor
ridor of the courthouse saying. as he
finished it, Don't you think ! am the
spryest man OF ninety-three of your
acquaintance?"
Probably the most prominent work
ever engaged in by Squire Thomas was
his defense of John Jeter Phillips. of
Henrico county. on the charge of muir
dering his wife. At that time Mr..
Thomas was associated with Colonel
j. G. Spalding IN the practice of law,
and the firm was engaged for the de-
tense. Phillips was found guilty of
most brutal murder and was hanged.
After his retirement from the office
of commemorative Attorney Squire
Thomas was appointed justice of the
peace. which Office he held until his
death. During his term of office he
rarely missed day at the courthouse.
The funeral arrangements had not
been completed at a late hour last
night but 1t is more than probable
that the burial will take place in Oak
wood Cemetery on Sunday
