John Haley, Whitewater Figure, Dies at 72 (In Plane Wreck)

[Khephra]

HARRISON, Ark., Dec. 5 (AP) — John Haley, an Arkansas lawyer who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge filed by Whitewater prosecutors, died on Thursday when the small plane he was piloting crashed while trying to land at an airport in northwest Arkansas, officials said. He was 72.

Mr. Haley was once the personal lawyer for Jim Guy Tucker when the latter was governor of Arkansas. He recently joined a new law firm, and a partner, Peter B. Heister, confirmed Mr. Haley's death.

A passenger in the plane, Farish Kincaid, 70, was also killed in the crash. The authorities said the men, both from the Little Rock area, were apparently heading for a meeting in Harrison, about 113 miles northwest of Little Rock.

Mr. Haley and Mr. Tucker were accused in 1995 of setting up a sham bankruptcy to hide profits from a business deal. Mr. Haley pleaded guilty and was fined and ordered to pay restitution.
