The passing of Judge w. Ii. Yost
takes from Kentucky life one of its
most picturesque characters. He was
noted as the biggest lawyer in the
state, a man of giant stature, taller
by several inches than the late Ollie

He was a delightful raconteur, and
one of his favorite stories was about

Once in the lobby Of Hotel Latham,
a local lawyer introduced fellow

Judge Yost glowered down on his
questioner, and snapped:
