Accused Attorney Files Answer in State High Court

Asserts any violation of Rules of Legal Ethics was 'Unwitting'

Madison (AP) Attorney N.R. Torrison of Manitowoc, accused of unethical professional conduct, has filed an answer with the state supreme court denying any wrong doing.

The board of state bar commissioners in a complaint filed Feb. 28 accused Torrison of assisting Fay Thorne, former Tow Rivers policeman in defrauding a crditor, Erna Griep, of approximately $3,500 and aiding Thorne in evading alimony payments to his wife, Kathryn.

He also was charged with unduly delaying payment of a judgment of $431.59 to Chester and Irene Wiltgen of Manitowoc, and of offering money to Emil Peterik, from whom the judgment was won, to say that he (Peterik) had not paid it.

Guided by Conscience

"If I acted in bad taste or against the rules of legal ethics," Torrison said in reply to the fraud charge, "I do so unwittingly, and at all times acted according to the dictates of my conscience and did not know then or now how I erred."

In answer to the alimony accusation, Horrison, who had obtained $3,300 in back pay for Thorne from the city of Two Rivers, said it was an "unfortunate situation," but that it was necessary to turn it over to Thorne instead of paying Mrs. Thorne's claim to "avoid possible criminal charges directed against myself."

Torrison said he made a "satisfactory" settlement with the Wiltgens Jan. 2, 1936, and did not delay payment or offer Peterik money to conceal payment of the judgment.

Two other attorneys, Darrel D. MacIntyre and J. Philip Koberstein, both of Madison, were accused of unprofessional conduct at the same time. Koberstein, charged with subornation of perjury and other unethical practice, has denied all charges. MacIntyre is expected to file his answer this week.

"Man Dragged to Death

Joseph Koberstein of Town of Greenfield meets death under wagon

Joseph Koberstein, a farmer of town Green field, was dragged to death by his team of horses Monday evening. It appears that Mr. Koberstein was driving a spirited young team at a rather lively rate of speed. Fred Verch, who was also b ound for home, drove his team near Mr. Koberstein's team, and also drove a a pretty lively rate. Near McArthur's linen mill Mr Verch passed Mr. Koberstein, and when the latter neared the corner at the "red school house," his team became unmanagable, Mr. Koberstein was thrown from his rig and, having gthe reins fastened about his body, he was dragged some distance. When picked up he was unconscious and died before reaching his home. His body was horribly mangled.

A coroner's jury composed of A. Fry, H. Niles, T. O'Neil, H. Netcher, F. Keyser and J. Kramer was summoned by Sheriff Stackhouse and the inquest was conducted by Coroner Gibbons at the home of the deceased Tuesday. The jury decided that the accident was caused by the team following and frightening the team of the deceased, and that he came to his death by being dragged and kicked in the head by a horse. Mr. Koberstein was about 37 years of age. He leaves a wife and seven children. He carried insurance policy for $2000 in the Modern Woodman Lodge.

It is hoped the commission "will allow temperatures to go down," Frohnmayer said.

The battle erupted a year ago when it was revealed that the endowment had funded exhibits including homoerotic photographs by the late Robert Mapplethorpe and a work by Andres Serrano in which a crucifix was submerged in urine.

Congress responded by prohibiting the agency from funding "obscene" art in its 1990 appropriation of $170 million, which aroused the anger of advocates for the arts and defenders of the 1st Amendment, who cried that Congress was practicing censorship.

Frohnmayer, appointed by President Bush six months ago to quell the controversy, said a day hasn't passed since then that he hasn't had to address the issue. Bush and he agree that the ban on obscene works should be removed from the law and that the agency will administratively tighten procedures on the awarding of grants.

"We had supported a five-year extension" of the endowment, said White House press secretary Marlin Fitzwater. "But the Congress established this commission to take a look at the question of how grants are made and what criteria should be used. And in that connection, (we) felt that a one-year extension would be good while that commission considers its work."

The proposed cooling-off period didn't mollify some critics of the arts agency, however, some of whom want to abolish it.

"It won't solve the problem," said Jennifer Koberstein, spokeswoman for Rep. Steve Gunderson (R-Wis.). Gunderson wants to channel up to 50 percent of the endowment's funds through state art boards, up from 20 percent, and retain the provision prohibiting the funding of obscene art.

If the problems aren't addressed now in reauthorization, when the appropriation comes up, the funds will be cut, predicted Koberstein.

Hudson, Wis. / Two men charged in attack on couple

Former boyfriend allegedly wielded machete-like knife

By Andy Rathbun

arathbun@pioneerpress.com

Updated: 04/22/2010 11:04:19 PM CDT

Charges have been filed against two men alleged to have attacked a couple in their Hudson, Wis., home early Wednesday.

Shane M. Johnson, 24, of Roberts, Wis., and Andrew A. Watson, 24, of Hudson were each charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors Thursday in St. Croix County Circuit Court.

One of the alleged victims, Matthew Jantosik, reported to police that shortly after midnight he heard loud banging on the door of his home in the 1900 block of Brookstone Circle, according to the complaint.

When Jantosik went to investigate, he said in the complaint, the door burst open and Johnson — carrying a rusty, machete-like knife — entered the home with Watson.

Johnson struck Jantosik in the forehead with the knife, causing him to fall to the floor, according to the complaint. Jantosik told police Johnson then choked him and, along with Watson, struck him several times.

At one point, Johnson reportedly told Jantosik, "I'm going to kill you," the complaint states.

Jantosik's girlfriend, Britney Koberstein, told police she had dated Johnson about a year ago. After seeing Johnson and Watson enter the home, she hid in a bedroom closet and called 911, the complaint states.

Johnson reportedly entered the closet and struck and choked Koberstein, telling her she "deserved to die," according to the complaint.

Watson then shouted at Johnson to stop, and the two fled the home, the complaint states.

Koberstein told police that following the incident, she received about six phones calls from Johnson telling her "she should kill herself and deserved to die." In another call, Johnson said, "Sorry to hear that someone had done this to you," speaking as though he had not been involved, the complaint states.

An officer was present when Koberstein received several of the calls, the complaint states.

Police found the machete-like knife in the closet were Koberstein had been hiding, according to the complaint.

Koberstein and Jantosik were taken to a hospital and treated for their injuries.

Koberstein and Jantosik could not be reached for comment.

When police made contact with Johnson about 8 a.m. Wednesday, he told them, "I know it was just dumb, the whole thing," the complaint states.

Johnson is charged with six felonies: mayhem, use of a dangerous weapon; aggravated battery, use of a dangerous weapon; first-degree reckless injury, use of a dangerous weapon; armed burglary; and two counts of strangulation and suffocation. He also faces misdemeanor charges of criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct.

Watson faces felony charges of armed burglary as party to a crime and aggravated battery (use of a dangerous weapon) as party to a crime. He also faces misdemeanor charges of criminal damage to property as party to a crime, criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct.

Johnson is free on a $25,000 cash bond, and Watson is free on a $10,000 cash bond. Neither could be reached for comment Thursday.
