The Order of the Court.
Judge J. A. Howell IN ordering the
resolutions spread upon the minutes
OF the court said:
IF there are no other members of
the bar who desire to address the
court at this time, the court viii say
that very willingly does it accede to
the wishes OF the Bar association, as
expressed by Judge Rolapp and this
committee, that these resolutions
shall be spread upon the minutes OF
this court and that the clerk be in
structed TO send copies Of them to the
family of the deceased
There is little that / can add to
what has already been so well said
by the associates of Judge Maginnls
at the bar.
Unfortunately, of course, for me.
! never knew him as an associate at
the bar. When I first began ms fee
BILE duties here in my profession, he
was at the head of the profession and
| looked upon him with awe rather
than with any other feeling. / re-
member quite distinctly the first time
| ever met Judge Maginnis was
simply serving a paper upon him as a
clerlC In Mr.. HeywoOd's office, but
shall never forget, while / went about
ii as If | were about to appear In court
Instead of simply serving a paper on
an attorney. because of course / had

Judge Maginnis as a Judge, yet when
] entered his office, he was sitting
In that careless way tnat he had and
he was so genial and so courteous and
kindly to me, as he was to all who
were just commencing their lite's
work In the law that ! never forgot It
and loved him ever after
Very soon thereafter | became a
judge and since then the relationship
between Judge Maginnis and myself
has been that OF the judge of court
and one of the attorneys Dractlclng
at the bar, and of course under such
circumstances il Is not possible that
our relationship should be so close
as IT is amongst men VINO are engaged
in the practice, but at the same time
Judge MaginniS, while he always ap-
pcared in court with the utmost re-
spect and Difference 10 the court. was
nevertheless not one of those who was

freely made use of my chambers as
many of the other members OF the |
bar do and there We had very many |
pleasant conversations together. |

and | think he deserved great credit
for that, because It is very few men
who can appear in a judges cham

ly, no doubt, make some suggestion
which Is not exactly proper, yet Judge
Maginnis was absolutely free from
anything Of that sort. so far as |
have ever observed Concerning his
conduct In the court room | can en-
dorse all that has been said OF him
do not believe he ever appeared be-
lore the court and advocated a propo-

was right | do not believe that he
ever made a statement OF fact to the
court that he did not believe was true
