         Judge Smith, Gladwin, Dies
         
         Trod Hard Road to Success;
          Famed for 'Horse Sense' Verdicts
          
         Saginaw, Mich., - May 1 (AP) -
         Circuit Judge GUY E. SMITH, 71, of Gladwin,
       died yesterday in a hospital here.
         Once a lumberjack earning money for his education,
       Judge SMITH, who succumbed to an illness of several
       months, trod a hard road to the bench where he won
       a reputation for "horse sense" verdicts.
         Born in Bay City, May 16, 1865, he was orphaned
       at an early age. He was admitted to the bar in 1893
       after attending school in Flint and Flushing and
       studying law in the office of Durant and Carton at
       Flint.
         Two years later, when he had his own office in
       Gladwin, he was elected prosecuting attorney of
       Gladwin county, remaining in that post until 1901,
       when he was chosen probate judge. In 1919 Governor
       ALBERT E. SLEEPER appointed him to the circuit
       bench as successor to Judge NELSON SHARPE, named
       to the state supreme court.
         Judge SMITH, who was a Republican, a Mason and
       an Episcopalian, is survived by a daughter, 
       GUINEVERE, 12. He had been a bachelor until 1922,
       when he married Mrs. MAUDE BLACK, who died in 1933.
