The trial didn’t really do much for Goddard but it helped launch a distinguished legal career for Willis. He won election to the state Senate from San Bernardino and Inyo counties in 1907 and 1909. He was named a Municipal Court judge in 1926 and a Superior Court judge in 1931. He had retired in 1958 after 27 years on the bench.
