AT the conclusion of the remarks BY
members of the Bar Association, Chief
Judge Hammond Urner said
There are very few of us who have
gathered here today to join in the trib-
utes of respect aud sorrow which are be.
ing paid TO the memory of Mr.. Maulsby
who can remember him other than as an
active and eminent member of this bar
His professional career extended over a
period of forty-five years. during which
his life and work were closely associated
with the administration of justice. in this
court. AT every term within my recol.
lection he has been a familiar figure at
this trial table. and has participated in
large proportion of the more important
litigation. 1t was here that bv his energy
and his skill he won and retained the DO
sltion he has held for years in the front
rank OF his profession. AND it is altogether
hitting, now that he has gone out forever
from our midst, that we should come
here TO speak IN HIM III the place where
so much OF his time was spent and so
much OF the labor of his life was done. and
where, in the intimacy of personal asso-
citation and IN the stress of professional
controversy. we learned to know him so
well and regard him SO highly as lawyer
and as man.
"Mr. Maulsbv was thoroughly equipped
by education and natural aptitude tor all
the duties Of his profession; but he exhib-
tied his highest efficiency in the trial of
contested cases. 1t was in open court,
with an issue OF law or fact to be tried.
that he found his most congenial work.
Hewas remarkably capable and resource
full as an advocate. He had rare fac
ulty for analysis and argument and for the
clear and logical discussion of legal prin-
cples. He tried his cases with the ut
most zeal and earnestness, and all his
talents and learning were devoted faith
fully and unsparingly to the interests of
his clients
mo one who knew Mr.. Maulsbv could
fail 10 be impressed by his unusually inter-
eSting and iorceful personality He had
vigorous and nciSive mind, and he was
strikingly original in his habits of thought
and expression. He was strong in his
convictions. and he stood with courage
aid independence Tor what he believed
to be the right He cherished The best
traditions OF his profession and the high
est ideals of good citizenship He was a
man of kindly and generous impulses, a
genial and helpful associate and loval
and sympathetic friend. To those of us
who have been SO close To him through
SO many years his death is peculiarly sad
and impressive. We miss him moi only
as valued member of the community
and as an intimate and esteemed COM
panion. but also as a fellow worker by
whose side we have labored and in
whose daily experiences we have shared.
He has reached the end of a long and
strenuous career, which began in the SER
vice of his country on the field of battle
and was continued and completed in the
service OF his fellow-men in the contests of
the forum. The record of his human en-
deavors and achievements has been fin
ished, and he has entered into the final
rest which awaits us ALL But in passing
out before us from this scene Of action
and responsibility, he has left to us the
memory and example of his conspicu-
ously successful and useful service, and of
his upright and honorable life.'
