Description
Walton Perkins
Williamsburg, Ky.
LL.B.; Henry Clay Law Society; Patterson Literary Society.
"I am nothing if not critical." "Perk" appeared on the scene in 1910. He had some previous knowledge of the law which he got in the courts "down home." It has taken him some little time, and no little trouble to decide whether to stay here two years or three to complete his course. In fact, at one time, he contemplated doing it in one year. He is always ready for an argument, no matter on which side; and is a triumphant winner, but a good loser. He has many original ideas which show deep thought, and' his grasp of things legal is unusually good.
