WANTS TO Be
RE|NSTATED
Ex-ATTORNEY NEWTON SECURES
AN ORDER FOR A WRIT OF
REVIEW.
he HAD BEEN ARRESTED
FOR PETIT LARCENY.
And the Justice Decided His Bond
Forfeited-Other Matters Before
the District Court.

William Newton has secured from
Judge Clancy an order for a writ Of re-
view directed against Tim Harrington,
justice of the peace, in the case in which
the state was plaintiff and ewto was
defendant, and the matter will be heard
in court tomorrow.
Newton was formerly a member of the
legal bar of this count In November
of 1897 ne was arrested on a charge of
petit larceny, the theft of s. from the
desk of the county jailer, the money be-
ing the property Of a prisoner In the jail.
His case was set for trial in Justice
~Laurandeau's court, but when it was
called the defendant was not present and
the case was decided against him. In
an affidavit supporting the petition for
the present writ he alleges that he de-
manded a jury trial and it was accorded
him: that he was not on hand When the
time for trial arrived and the justice, an
hour later. discharged the jury, declares
his bono of $3.50 forfeited and decided the
case against him., fining him $50 and SEN
fencing him to the county Jail for twen-
ty-five days in lieu of the payment Of
the fine; that he knew nothing about the
Judgment of the court until about six
months ago
Justice Harrington is made respondent
because he is the successor of Justice
L~aurandeau and keeper of the latter's
records.
Newton was, at the time of his arrest
or shortly before it, the attorney for
''Veno" Dickinson, a vendor of patent
medicines, who was arrested on a charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. He asked the jailer for permits
sion to consult with his client in the Of
flee of the jailer and the request was
granted, but while the consultation was
in progress Newton is alleged to have
taken money from the desk. Dickinson
witnessed the transaction and '~peached'
on him, with the result that crimina
proceedings We're commenced against
Newton. The defendant jumped his
bono and left the city before the trial
came up and did not Return until last
spring. On the strength of the action
taken in the justice court Newton was
disbarred from practice by the supreme
court. Since his return to Butte he has
been working in one of the hill mines.
If Newton makes his present action
stick he will doubtless be reinstated as a
member of the legal bar.
