DR.. HUNTINGTON
MAY YET ESCAPE
Supreme Court Declares
His First Trial
Illegal.
Charge Of Judge Lawlor to
Jury Is Considered
Erroneous.

The Supreme Court yesterday granted a
new trial to Ralph A. Huntington. the
young physician, who was sentenced to
spend ten years at San Quentin for caus-
ing the death of Jennie McKown, his
fiancee. in attempting to commit an un-
lawful operation. The decision reverses an
opinion handed down last September In
which the court affirmed the judgment of
Judge Lawlor OF the Superior Court. A
new hearing was granted on the petition
Of the defendants attorneys and Justice
Henshaw changed his stand on the ques-
tion, which gives Huntington another op-
portunity to secure his freedom
1t is held that Judge Lawlor's definition
of moral certainty is inexact because
Of the use Of the word impression,
which is considered too elastic and dan
gerOus for a legal instruction to a jury.
1t is shown that the defendant was prose-
cuted on the theory that he killed the Nc
Kown girl while engaged in the commits
sion of a felony. The defense attempted
to show that he was performing Il legiti-
mate operation for endometritis.
In charging the jury the trial Judge
averred thet a verdict of manslaughter
would be legal if the evidence tended TO
show that Huntington had been trying TO
perform a legitimate operation and had
not used due care and circumspection.
The Supreme Court therefore holds that
the Apung physician was tried for one
crime and convicted Of another. A new
trial is ordered.
Huntington. who has been confined in
the County Jail since September. is said
to be dying of consumption. An effort
will be made Immediately to secure his
release on bail pending the result of the

INCREASE IN BETTING
IS CAUSE OF ALARM
House of Lords Committee Recon-
mends That ''Tipster'' Adver-
tisements Be Made Illegal.

LONDON, Jan. 3-The rapid increase IN
betting on horse racing in the United
Kingdom, especially among workin gmen
and the evils arising therefrom. are fully
acknowledged in the report Of the select
committee of the House Of Lords. issued
to-daysn but the remedies recommended
are not far-reaching.
The committee finds that betting Is
greatly facilitated by the universal prac-
tice Of the newspapers in publishing the
odds, but the committee is not prepared
to recommend its prohibition, as it would
tend to encourage dishonesty on the part
of bookmakers. 1t recommends that all
advertisements and circulars OF sporting
'.tipsters" be made Illegal. and favors
legislation enabling bOOkmakers to be
imprisoned for betting on the streets with
children.

BACK FEES WILL
NEVER Be PAID
Supreme Court Declares
Legislative Act
Invalid.

The constitutionality of the legislative
enactment allowing jurors fee of 81 for
each days service in criminal cases was
affirmed by the Supreme Court yesterday
in the suit of Andrew Jackson against
Auditor Baehr. 1t is held that the State
Legislature has a perfect right to fix the
compensation of jurors in any sort of
case. 1t is also decided that 81 must be
paid a juror for every day of attendance
at a trial, even though he perform no
jury duty. mileage of 10 cents is also
allowed for each mile travelled by a juror
in coming to trial. A juror is defined as
ANY person selected and summoned ac-
cordng to law to serve in that capacity,
whether the jury has been actually i'm
paneled and sworn or not
Another act passed at the same time
as the foregoing and providing that all
persons who had served on juries in Grim
inal cases since 1895 should receive 81 for
each day of duty was declared unconsti-
tutional. The suit was brought in the
name of Roland Powell against James D..
Phelan as Mayor of San Francisco. Had
the claim been allowed many thousands
of dollars would have had to be paid from
the citv treasury for back fees.
The court holds that this previous serv-
vice, at the time it was rendered had
been considered gratuitous and that the
Legislature in passing the law. violated
article " of the State constitution, which
says: 1.-THE Legislature shall have no
power to make any gift of any public
money thing of value to an individual,
municipal or other corporation
The court adds in conclusion a state
ment to the effect that If the claims for
back fees were allowed jurors who had
served at any time in the history of the
State would be entitled to recover public
