 Warning to Newspaper Men. An editorial writer and a reporter of the New London Telegraph were in court, where they had been sum- moned on the request of Judge Greene in connection with comments made re- garding the trial of the Morton and Morgan cases recently. Judge Greene stated to the newspapermen that his attention had been called by the state attorney to comments which the paper had made on the cases. both before and during the trial. He said that jurors are quite likely to read these comments and that reporters and editors should be careful not to make any comments which were improper and might be taken to a certain ex- tent for contempt of court. .<He warn ed them against commenting and crit icising the trials of cases, his remarks being in the nature of an admonition to all newspapers in that respect.
