Warden Hunter and the Novak ruling visit Newton
Warden William A. Hunter of the Anamosa state penitentiary traveled to Newton with Dr. Hunter after alerting Deputy Warden Gurley to the Supreme Court Novak decision. He notes a drop in prison population from 645 to 540 over the past year, attributing the decline to improving times and harder cases. Dr. Hunter recalls Des Moines in 1854 and his long Newton practice, while local school events and public notices fill the rest of the page.
