He served as the 17th Lieutenant Governor of Idaho for eight months in 1929 during the administration of Governor H. C. Baldridge. He was a native of New Brunswick. He was kidnapped in June 1929 along with another occupant, however he managed to escape and inform the public about the incident, creating a manhunt for the suspects involved, who were eventually arrested, tried and imprisoned.[1] Kinne died in office in September 1929 at Orofino, Idaho of peritonitis resulting from appendicitis[2][3] and was succeeded by O.
