BROWN DENIED.
Petition by Former Senator in Adultery
Case Turned Down.

The supreme court this afternoon de-
MED the petition Of Arthur Brown for
writ of prohibition TO prevent Judge
Morse, OF the district court, from taxi
Ing any further action In the case Of
the state VS. Arthur Brown. In denying
the petition the court held that the
proper remedy In such matters Is by
appeal and not by application for
writ OF prohibition.
In his petition Senator Brown alleged
that Judge Morse had no Jurisdiction In
the case because the same was not pro-
perly instituted In the city court. It
was alleged that the complaint was
sworn 10 before the deputy clerk Of the
city conrt and the warrant issued for
the arrest of defendant without the
magistrate examining the complaining
witness ms TO his knowledge of the
crime at all az required In sections 1912
and 1915 OF the Revised Statutes OF
Utah.
The opinion Of the supreme court.
which was written by Chief Justice
Baskin ana concurred IN by Justices
Bartch and McCarty holds that as
there Is no question raised as TO the
form or substance Of the complaint or
warrant of arrest or the commitment
or the Information, but merely as to
the preliminary steps taken to institute
The case, the district judge had the
jurisdiction TO decide whether the steps
were sufficient to sustain the lnforma-
tion and he acted within the scope OF
his authority when he denied the de-
PENDANTS motion 10 quash ana plea to
the jurisdiction Of the court. IL there
was any error committed In that re.
spect by the lower court, the opinion
states that the proper remedy Is By
appeal and by writ Of prohibition.
