discharged the twenty-four
pounds due Hopkins, by convey

which were conveyed by Casey
TO Hopkins. were, afterwards,
levied upon and sold to satisfy
an execution in favor of one Set
ties, which was issued upon a
Judgment recovered in the Quar-.
ter Sessions Court, of Green
county, ii favor of Settles
against Hopkins. The levy and
sale were made by Trabue,
a deputy sheriff, and the land
was purchased by Benjamin
Hampton, the maternal grand.
father of Mark Twain, who re.
sided upon an adjoining tract OF
land.
When Green county was or.
gained in 1892, it included the
territory which comprises the
present county of Adair, and in
which Casey resided. Casey
vas appointed to the office of a
judge of the Quarter Sessions
Court, for Green county, and
Aeld4ne Office for several years
In 1899. Casey was elected a
member of the convention which
formulated the second constitu-
ticn for the state OF Kentucky,
and his name is found subscribed
to copies Of that instrument. He
was elected from the county of
Green, which was then a very
large county, but with not very
numerous population. Casey, at
that time, resided at his ''sta.
ton upon the Buffers Fork Of
Russell.

sented Green county in the Gen.
era! Assembly, in 1875, and in
1900 and 1902, he sat in the Gen.
eral Assembly as a senator for
the district in which Green coun-
ty was situated. For the years,
1894 and 1895, he was the COM
mander of the militia for Green
county, and probably held the
same position during other years.
and, from that service, received
the title of colonel, which he
bore throughout the remainder
of his life. After the creation of
Adair county, he sat as senator
for his district, but there are no
records now extant, which will
show the exact years. He was
evidently a very successful pol
itician, as well as a fighter of
the Indians. sHe was not a fin
ished public speaker, and made
no pretense to oratory, but was
always able to present and de-
fend his convictions in a way,
that was convincing to his hear
ers. He spoke from the ros-
trum in a straight forward and
simple, but impressive manner.
When the circuit court system
was organized in Kentucky, the
court consisted of a lawyer, who
was the presiding Judge of the
court, and two associated judges,
who were not necessarily law
yers. Col. Casey was made one
of the associate judges of the
circuit court for Adair county.
The first circuit court for Adair
county was held on the 7th day
of February, 1903, by Robert
Haskins and VIM. G. Bryant,
the two assistant judges of the
circuit court. On September
9Th, 1903, Allen M. Wakefield,
an attorney of Greensburg, KY,
flied a certificate showing that
he, as circuit Judge, had beer
assigned for duty to the circuit
composed of the courts held FOL

/ February 4th, 1905, Col. William
Casey was made an assistant
judge of the Adair circuit court,
; and, on April LIST. 1905, Robert
Todd became the other assistant
judge. Casey and Todd, respec.
, lively, held their Offices until the
office of assistant Judge of the
circuit courts was abolished,
about the year, 1915. Neither
