HAS Personal INTEREST
For First Time In Quarter Century
Justice Johnston Disqualified.

For the first time in more than IS
years, w. A. Johnston, chief justice
of the Kansas supreme court, today
declined to sit in the hearing of a case
because of a personal interest which
he had taken in the original trial.
The case was that of Robert Morgan
against the American Surety company.
In a companion case, Chief Justice
Johnston had been a witness for
Morgan in the Ottawa county district
court nearly thirty years ago.
Moran was a party to several suits
in the state courts of Kansas and
Kentucky and also in the federal
court. In one of thes> cases, the Kan
sas supreme court justice had been
called in the district court of Ottawa
county as a character witness for Nor
gan. The plaintiff and the chief JUS
tice had been neighbors in Minneapo-
lis. In the various trials which were
had, the first case today came before
the Kansas supreme court-after a
lapse of nearly thirty years and a pro-
longed trip thru various tribunals.
When arguments were presented to-
day, Chief Justice Johnston. withdrew
from the hearing. 1t was the first
case in more than a qua ter of a CEN
fury in which he had been disqualified
from hearing because of prior interest
in or connected with the original pro-
ceedingS
