sion has been rendered adverse to the applica-
ton from Bissel1, the alleged Rock Island
bridge conspifator, for change of venue from
the Recorders Court to the Superior Court.
The arguments were heard in the matter
fortnight ago. This decision, after careful
hearing, Is stiDging rebuke which the editor
Of the Democrat must feel, even through his
| rhinoceros hide Column after column Of
| venom and SANDER has been, by that sheet,
| h:aped upon Recorder Wilson, District Attor-
ney Haven, and the officers Of the Court, and
now all this Is turned back upon the author,
| like chickens come home to roost. :.
It Is astill more significant fact that since
the decision above noted, an offer freely made
by the prosecution to transfer the case to the
Superior CoRrt has oeta refused BY Bissen and
his counsel What was wanted, after all, was
not the fnrtheranee Of justice, but TO fx stain
aud smizch upon the former trial, that there
from weight might be thrown in the ecale in
Bissell's fayor. It will be remembered that
the issue Of the former trial and conviction,
was defeated on purely technical grounds,
whiel, tho prisoner and his friends had no hope
would occar again, hence the machinery for
change Of venue, which has iberally received
the attention, and given large activity to the
| malignant hate Of the Democrat for Recorder
Wilson and his Court.
The attempt to try the case against Rfsse1,
out Of Court, has been left to the defence and
aided through motives above referred to, 1t
has been chan,cter;sttc,l,v attended to by The
Democrat, VIII that sheet now leaye Bisscu
