Bul lock, prior to the opening session yesterday morning. A copy lef the resolutions fol lows: “When the Person County Court was organized in 1932 it was recognized that it was an ex periment the success of which would depend chiefly on the per sonality of the presiding Judge, and, after very mature consider ation, and after consulting mem bers of the bar and other citizens, the Board of County Commission ers offered the post to Honorable W. I. Newton, by whom it was accepted, and by whom it was filled with great distinction until his death, which occurred on March 27, 1940. “Judge Newton’s great and ■ varied experience, his knowledge lof human nature, his analytical faculties, his flair for sifting evi.. dene and arriving at truth, and above all his humanity enabled him to guide the destinies of the 0 urt with discretion and wisdom so that it has long since amply justified itself in the mind of the public. “It is now, therefore, by the Person Bar association: “Resolved second: That by his death of Judge W. I. Newton, Persos CLunty suffers a loss which will not be readily repaired. “Resolvde Second: That by his wise and impartial administra tion of law he not only gained credit to himself, but enhanced the respect and confidence of the public at large for the Q:urts. “Resolved Third: That in his untimely passing every member of the bar is acutely conscious of having lost a valued friend and associate. “Resolved Fourth: That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes icf Court, and copies be furnished the family, and the press.” (Signed) F.
