JUDGE NEWTON TAYLOR

Was An Old College Chum of Lee E. Glazebrook’s. Judge Newton Taylor, appointed by Governor Marshall to succeed the late Judge Stubbs as Judge of the Juvenile Court in Indianapolis, was an old college chum of Lee E.. Glazebrook of north of town. Mr. Glazebrook and Taylor attended college at Greencastle together, and Lee says young Taylor was a fine fellow and as a young man possessed those high qualities of manhood which has marked his career in the practice of law. Like many other college students in those days, he was poor, and he and another young man batched and done their own cooking. Taylor was janitor of the school building and only attended school a part of each day, working half of the day in a cooper shop in town to earn money to pay his expenses and way through college. His home was then in Attica, and he was left motherless at an early age, but he helped the other children along and a brother, whom he brought to the school at Greencastle the second year he attended college there, is now a prominent physician in Philadelphia. When attending school Taylor was a republican, but as he advanced in life and became better acquainted with party policies he changed to the democrats and has since been a member of that party. The fact that the press of Indianapolis, irrespective of party affiliations, are loud in their praise of Governor Marshall for apponting Judge Taylor ;s evidence of his high standing in the capital city.
