In the old days under the Dalton
regime Newton had openly boasted he

police court As a consequence "Bul"

Newton has many other cases in court
in which the women are charg-
ed the same as the Page woman. He
has delayed matters in the cases as
far as possible under the law and they
must now all go to trial in a few
days. Newton has announced he will
demand jury trial in each case.
Judge Whitaker was not phased a bit
by this announcement, and the other
day said in court that they could be
tried with a jury in 20 minutes.
The police are complaining bitterly
over Newtons dilatory tactics and say
that just so long as the women who
roam the streets are turned out Of
police court. just so long will the city
be oyerrun by women thieves who prey
upon unsuspecting strangers. Every
