HARRY DENTON MOORE, of Seattle, is a lawyer quick to master the intricacies in 
a case, and grasp all details, while at the same time losing sight of none of 
the essential points upon which the decision of every case finally turns.  He 
has a ready flow of language, and as a speaker before the court or jury is 
fluent, forceful, earnest and logical, as well as most convincing in his 
arguments.  His knowledge of the law, it is freely conceded, is hardly second 
to that of any other member of the bar of Western Washington.  A man of sound 
judgment, he handles his cases with considerable skill and judgment, he 
handles his cases with considerable skill and tact, is a logical reasoner and 
has a ready command of English.  His capacity as a lawyer is readily 
demonstrated by the splendid success with which he has met.  Judge Moore was 
born at Geneva, New York, in 1864, attended public schools, and was admitted 
to the bar in 1890.  That same year he located in Montana, where in 1896 he 
became Commissioner of the Montana State Land Office and served four years in 
that responsible capacity.  For two years he also served as First Assistant 
Attorney General of Montana, and in 1902 came to Seattle.  In 1885 Judge Moore 
married Miss Katherine Nies, and the couple have three children, Clara, wife 
of Dr. Ned Everett Davis; Harold N., assistant executive secretary of the 
Seattle Chamber of Commerce; Katherine, now attending school.  Judge Moore is 
a Scottish Rite Mason and is a member of the W. O. W. and the Seattle and 
Washington State bar associations.  He is president of the League for the 
Preservation of American Independence, and has served as president of Seattle 
chapter Sons of the American Revolution and is vice president of the state 
chapter.
