sLAKER WHEAT CASE,

To BE Heard Before Marion County
Circuit Court,
The So, 900 damage suit growing out
of the arrest of A. Blakeh for wheat
stealing at Albany last year, Will not
be heard in the Multn0mah county
courts. The case has been transferred
to Marion county by Judge ShatUuck
on motion of the defendant, T. F.
Smith for a chance Of venue.
The motion for a change of venue
was heard on the ground that the de-
fendant's witnesses were all away
from this county, and the defendant
claimed that the cause of action
originated in Linn county and not
here.
Rlaker was arrested in September,
1895, on complaint of Smith, who
charged him with stealing wheat from
an elevator in which farmers wheat
was stored. The charge was larceny
by bailee. Blaker was kept In jail
here three days, and then the grand
jury at Albany investigated the
charge. The examination resulted in
a dismissal aud an exoneration.
Blaker felt that he had suffered
public and private disgrace, physical
and mental agony, loss of reputation,
friends and credit. He sued his ac-
cuser, T. f. Smith, for $4,000 damages.
He asked in addition $275 for lawyers
fees, it costing him that sum to get
his freedom.
Bakers counsel opposed the motion
for change of venue for reasons set
on in an atfidagit filed by attorney
John Hall, for the plaintiff, Septem-
ber s. In'this the plaintiff said that
the residents of Linn, to which the
defendant asked the cause to be trans
ferred, are prejudiced against the
plaintiff and that he cannot obtain
justice at hhe hands of jury in that
county, and that to allow it would be
to the plaintiff denial of justice.
Judge Shattuck therefore consid-
cred it fair enough for both sides to
compromise by having the case tried
in the Marion county courts, and it
will be heard at Salem. Blaker, the
plaintiff, has been out of the country
since his case was tiled-Telegram.
