our courts.
Mr.. Brown. of Ascension This OH was
passed in the early part OF the present SEES
sion; was sent to the Senate fer concurrence
If the gentleman has read the debates OF the
Senate. he has seen this thing fully discussed.
The reasons for changing the venue IN the
case of the divers and Fisher are these ::
1t is impossible for these parties to get JUS
ticc in Ascension parish, the prejudice
against them Is so strong, and. consequently ,
this bill was introduced 10 change the venue
of these parties. The are Republicans,
and believe they are innocent: one party.
know 'endeavoIed to prevent the murder.
and the other two parties were not present
at the time the murder was committed. In"
prejudice is SO great that 1t will he impos>l-
bic for them to get al impartial trial ahn
that is the reason WY w ask tor III" ATOP
ton of the bill.
