as follows:
Il have known ANDREW T. Sanborn for
long while. and can say that | have
never known n man oi higher and more
beautiful character. He was ut all times
50 entirely natural. unprctentlous and
,lnasSunling that no one could doubt ms
honesty and sincerity. When in good
health his industry had no limitation and
II no time was there any lack of courtesy
and kindness in his relations with other
persons. no matter what their station in
life might he.
Il recall him very clearly when as
sociated with MIR Bird in the practice of
the law. and am justified in saying that
TO two persons ever appreciated and
respected one another more The senior
member of the finn tried the eases in court
most effectively. sometimes in a manner
dramatic and Spect acular that was all
his own. and thus acquired most OF the
credit for the victories achieved but every
contemporary lawver' knows that the
success WAS due in u large degree to the
careful. painstaking and laboriouS prepa
r.fions OF the eases tv MIR Sanborn upon
both the evidence and thc law He was
rs indispensable to Mr. Bird as MIR Bird
was to him, and that their principal
client-thc r. Il O r. II, Company
recognized his value and worth was
attcsted hv the fact. most pleasing 10
Mr. Sanborn, that he was continued alone
rs counsel for the company after his
partners death.
