KILDAY, JAMES EDWARD (1890~1966) James Kilday was born July 23, 1890 in Sabinal, Texas. He was educated in San Antonio where he spent his formative years. During World War I, he was a Second Lieutenant in the Signal Corps. He would later attend the University of Texas and was admitted to Bar in 1923. In 1925, he joined Andrews, Kurth, Campbell and Bradly law offices that represented the Missouri-Pacific Railroad. Mr. Kilday was associated with the International-Great Northern before it merged with the Missouri-Pacific. Following his stint as a railroad attorney, he and Judge Charles E. Lane, Associate Justice of the Texas Court of Civil Appeals, formed the law firm of Lane and Kilday. In 1943, he began a career with the Department of Justice. He was a section chief that represented the U.S. Government in trial court suits involving the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Civil Aeronautics Board, the Federal Maritime Board, the Railroad Mediation Board, the Railroad Adjustment Board, and some cases involving the Federal Trade Commission and the Post Office. Following the abolishment of his section, he became consultant to the head office of the Antitrust Division, which position he held until his retirement. Mr. Kilday died on September 18, 1966.
