Henry was sworn in as King County Supe- rior Court Judge January 4, 1960, by Presiding Judge Eu- gene A. Wright in a ceremony attended by a large crowd. Judge Henry was welcomed by King County Superior Court Judge William J. Wilkins on behalf of the entire bench sitting en banc. Judge Henry had been appointed by Governor Rosellini on December 16, 1959. The new judge obtained his law degree from George Washington Law School in 1935 and vas admitted to the Washington State bar the same year. Prior to entering private practice in 1940, he had served as a King County Deputy Prosecuting Attor- ney. At the time of his appointment, he was a partner in the firm of Houghton, Cluck, Coughlin & Henry. He had also served three terms in the legislature. Judge Henry was assigned to Department 15 formerly that of retired judge Roger J. Meakim. PRO TEMS ASSIST KING COUNTY JUDICIARY With the encouragement of presently Presiding King County Superior Court Judge Eugene A. Wright, a number of King County attorneys have been serving since November as judges pro tem. Judge Wright states that without the help of these attor- neys it would have been impossible for the Seattle-King County bench to have coped with the large volume of cases disposed of during November and December, 1959. Judge Wright noted that during those months the local judicial strength was at a low ebb with as many as five regular judges missing due to illness, etc. He also pointed out that the compensation of the judges pro tem is nominal, a factor causing this help to be all the more appreciated. Attorneys who have served as pro tems include: Robert 0. Beresford, George H. Bovingdon, John W. Day, Warren A. Doo- little, Robert L. Fletcher, David 0. Hamlin, Jeffrey Heiman, Fred Hoover, Betty How- ard, John Kelleher, Donald D. MacLean, A. L. Maslan, Muriel Maurer, Court Com- missioner Donald Niles, Ray Ogden, Jr., R. T. Olson, Laird Peterson, Robert Pur- 6ue, Kenneth P. Short, Bruce Shorts, Stan- ley Soderland, Richard Thatcher, and Wil- liam J. Walsh.
