Boyd Morrow, Circuit Judge of the 28th Judicial District, to succeed Judge B.J. Bethurum, who resigned to accept the place of legal adviser to the State Prohibition Enforcement Officer. Judge Bethurum resigned on Monday and Mr. Morrow was appointed Monday night and left Tuesday to hold his first court at Monticello. He will hold court here and at Mt. Vernon before his term is up. Mr. Morrow has been servicing as Police Judge of Somerset for the past four years and resigned this office Tuesday. He is a candidate to succeed himself. Mr. Morrow is considered a good lawyer and no doubt will make a splendid judge. <A few weeks prior, Judge Bethurum complained in the press he was being forced out in favor of the governor’s brother>
