MK. MllllIHfS SUCCESS IN "IB" L4W AND HIS LAME CONNECTION WITH All CURRENT LITIGATION Ai The Age or Eighty Years He Was Actively Identified With Seventy-two Civil Suits Now Awaiting Trial. The wide activity of the lato. durod lo the end. At the time of Milllkiu in Ibo practice of deallf liis firm Millikin, law is well known.

1'robably and Millikiu, had seventy- lawyer in Butler county carried for a long period of years the burden of practice which he maintained to beyond the ago of years. Like almost every lawyer before and after him, he probably had his starvation days in the early'40's, but if he. had tins period of his career was soon inergul Into success such as has come to few Jiieii. Butler county oilors a field for the pruotico of law, not of the first, but btillof considerable inpg- uitude. In this field Thomas Millikiu was for the most of his 59 years active practice, preeminent.

It is said by his older colleagues that there has not booh an important litigation in the county in half a century with which he was not in some manner identified. And aside from his great local activity ho on- the height of his powers a reputation that brought him many large foes from other counties and other states. His before the supremo court Ohio, was, according to the Hon. John A. McMaUon and other veteran lawyers Dayton, the input comprehensive that any member of the Ohio bar ever enjoyed.

Tho fame jShotts and has over two live cases pending trial on the dockets of the Butler county courts. Of those soveuty-one were iu the common pleas and one in the probate. Probably these cases directly affected the interests of 8000 Butler county people, which shows how justly on this account alone, Mr. Milllkin was entitled to be considered a public figure. An examination of the court dockets shows his firm to be counsel for one or the other party in tho fol' lowing: eaeos: 1.

-John B. Bhafor vs H. Antrim jury lawyer in Ohio. Old court attaches love to relate rominisceiises of Mr. Miliikin's triumphs before juries of his peers.

It said that one of the secrets of his success as a jury lawyer was his wonderful acquaintance, and his intimate knowledge of the ptr.Bon.Rl peculiarities of the It is related that he could walk np to any jury, and recognize iu almost every man in it, friend or acquaintance. That mount that he had the respect and confidence of his jury; and his argument carried with it the force of his personal reputation. "Why, do you mean to say that yon can make Hill Jones believe that so and so did thib?" ho would say, talking right to 13111 Jouos iu tho jury box. And usually they couldn't make Bill believe it, either; and Mr. Mil- iikin's client got tho verdict.

Acquaintance and a good name were aa mighly powers iu Mr. Miliikin's practice, as his profound knowledge of tho law. How he acquired so immovable a a reputation for probity and practiced so many years without forfeiting tho confidence and good will of any man, 19 a mystery to many lawyers. An old friend, who had just heard of his death, recalled an incident the other day, tliat throws light on this question. "I happened to bo in Mr.

Milii- kin's office one day some ago," he said, "when an old man came in and asked Mr. Millikin to draw up a deed for him, convoying his property to a son. "What is your idea in this," tho lawyer inquired. "Well, I'm gutting old," said, the client, and my son has agreed to take care of nie if I deed him iny property." "I cannot draw your deed," Mr. Millikiu replied, and his client laft in a huff.

Turning to mo Mr. Millikiu said: "I don't want to bo a party to a transaction of that sort. My experience has vs. Kliza Hancock et al. 4.
