| Durham, n. c., May 13.-(Special)-
| Most of the day yesterday in the Super
| ior court was consumed in arguing the
motion of the Solicitor to remove the case
| of State VS.. V. S. Christian from this
| to an adjoining county. Numerous afh-
| davits were filed both in favor and a
| gainst. During the week the discussion
| of the case has been pretty general ana
many and varied have been the opinions
| expressed as to the final result. When
| the battle does begin in earnest, one
| thing is assured, it will be one long to be
| remembered After patiently hearing all
| the arguments and weighing them Judge
| Allen decided that the case ought to be
removed. The county to which it goes
/ has not yet been named, though the i'm
preston prevails that it will he Orange.
