The Whitehouse Painting
| A pleasant surprise was realized
when a splendid likeness of ex-Chief
Justice William Penn Whitehouse.
was observed at this term of court,
hung on the east wall of the main
| court room, in the rear of the judges
bench and towards the north. The
painting Of Judge Whitehouse is the
work of Artist Kahiu and was done
by that we'll known Portland painter
shortly after he completed his work
at the State House of retouching
paintings. The artist greatly en-
Joyed his task of reproducing on
canvas the likeness Of one of Names
most beloved members of the bar
and the result is certainly gratifying.
The portrait is gift from Judge
Whltehouse. This is the first pic
ture to adorn the walls of this room.
