Performed wedding for Rodney Harrington and Betty Anderson.
049. Judge Whitley:
Betty Anderson Harrington gets her marriage Annulled.
081. Judge Mark:
George Anderson quit his job as salesman for Peyton Mills and
bought the insurance agency. He became progressively agitated as
he was unable to build up his business. He barricaded himself
when a persistant rent collector dogged him for payment. George
barricaded himself in his law office and was subdued by his friend
Elliot Carson. He was committed to the Greenvale Sanitarium in
Green Valley, Massachusetts. He improved sufficiently to have a
home leave. Paul Hanley got George drunk and goaded him into going
to the Peyton mansion to kill Leslie Harrington. Elliot got wind
of the problem and was able to prevent George from killing Leslie.
However, Elliot was seriously wounded and remained in critical
condition in Doctors Hospital for some time. George was taken to
an insane asylum to await improvement so he could stand trial.
The judge active in the George Anderson incident was Judge Mark.
His full name was never given but he returned Lawyer Theodore
Dowell's phone call in episode 81. This is all we hear of Judge
Mark.
119. Judge Charles E. Webber:
Joe Chernak returned to Peyton Place after serving some time at
an honor farm for the theft of an Automobile. Joe had taken the
car with the intention of driving to California to visit his
sister Stella. Before the auto theft, Joe had dated Rita Jacks
and wanted to take up with her again after his return. When Joe
returned to town he somehow had a car. Joe and some of his pals
beat up Norman after drugging him in the Shorline teen hangout.
Norman took a liking to Rita and they began to date. Joe began to
harass Rita and Rodney took it upon himself to confront Joe. A
fight ensued on the wharf and Joe was accidentally killed. [113]
Rodney was charged in his death and appeared at a preliminary
hearing held by Judge Charles E. Webber. Rodney was bound over for
trial in episode 138. Theodore Dowell handled Rodney's defense at
the hearing. Steven told Dowell he wanted to help and eventually
took over the case. Steven told Rodney and Leslie that either Judge
Quigley or Judge Chandler [159] would preside over the murder trial.
