Norton Denies Urging Forgery Of Signature
William B. Norton in disbarment hearings denied urging Mabel Strong to forge her former husband Keith Strong’s signature on a divorce waiver. He said Strong did sign, or allow him to sign, but he did not urge the act. Norton recalled attempting to locate Keith Strong, then faced with the signed document by Mrs. Strong in his Tipton office. He acknowledged the act would blemish his record but aims to continue practicing law. Norton noted past political campaigns and beer statute cases affecting his 1954–56 tenure.
