THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, Appellant, v. JOHN MORTON, Respondent.

The Court of Appeals of Washington, Division Two.

December 22, 1975.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Henry R. Dunn, Prosecuting Attorney, and James E. Warme, Chief Deputy, for appellant.

D.L. Donaldson (of Walstead, Mertsching, Husemoen, Donaldson & Barlow), for respondent.


REED, J.

The State appeals from a dismissal of charges of bribery and misconduct by a public officer, John Morton. The trial court ruled that the defendant was clothed with immunity from prosecution when he gave testimony concerning the alleged bribery before a special inquiry judge on June 15 and 29, 1972. We affirm the dismissal of the charges.

The defendant was a grade school principal in the Woodland School District No. 404.1
