that the circulation of malicious

such an extent that DC was u.e-

THOUGH CONVICTED
HE IS FREE

The law does not seem to have had a
very tight grip on DR.. Ralph Hunting
ton, who was convicted FIVE years ago
OF the murder Of Miss Jennie McKeown
by an unlawful operation. When his
case was called in Judge Lawlor's court
yesterday morning it developed that the
defendant was not only not restrained
OF his liberty, but that he had been
practicing medicine in Fruitvale. Judge
Lawlor Immediately ordered the de-
fendant into custody.
II was explained that when Hunting
ton was tried he was allowed his lib
erty after the first conviction pending
q rehearing. ii being alleged that he
was suffering from consumption. He
gave bonds for his temperance.
An effort backed with considerable
influence is being made to get Hunt
ington of. His attorney is Peter F.
Dunno. He was represented in count
yesterday by Robert Ferral, who said
that the record in the case was de-
stroyed by fire last April and he there
fore asked and was granted a continu-
ance OF two weeks.
