BIRMINGHAM. Ala, March 5.-To-
day was the day set for the trial Of
Dick Halves for the murder Of his wife
and children. Since the case was set
the legislature changed the jury law,
which made it impossible to try the
case until April. The case was called
to-day and about $50 witnesses were
present. Halves was not brought into
court, and his attorney agreed with the
solicitor to set the case for April D.
This disposed of, Hon. E. I. Ta1iaferro,
Halves attorney filed a second motion
for change of venue. He offered sew
erol afidavits, and argued that since the
former motion was denied, various
publications in the local papers had
created prejudice against the defen-
d8nt. Solicitor Hawkins opposed the
motion. and also submitted numerous
afidavits to the effect that Halves could
obtain fair trial. Judge Green took
the matter under advisement, and
will probably render his decision to-
morrow.
