British lawyers, journalists and politicans, in aftermath of Jeremy Thorpe's acquittal on charges of conspiring to commit murder, are discussing ethical issues raised by trial; at center of discussion is so-called checkbook journalism, practice of paying for newspaper articles, in this case stories of principal prosecution witnesses; trial is also raising questions on campaign financing and criminal procedure, with challenges to long-accepted ways of doing things; controversy over contract signed in '78 by prosecution witness Peter Bessell with Sunday Telegraph to publish stories on Thorpe and trial discussed; Bessell was to have been paid $100,000 if Thorpe was found guilty and stories were published and $50,000 if Thorpe was found innocent and articles were not published; issue of whether Bessell's arrangement with newspaper was strong inducement to shape his testimony toward conviction is matter of much controversy (M)
