District courtopened Monday morning
and, aside from the Crewscas was com
pleted Tuesday night. re-
In the Clayton Crews case defendants
attorneys, J.H. Field and ]. C. Campbell,
made affidavit charging Judge Winches-
ter with bias and asking for a new Judge.
Under our: law a Judge cannot deny a
petition Of this. kind and so as o as
possible a new Judge will be called in to
try the case. The Press fails to see
how Judge Winchester could be biased
in the Crews matter, as defendant is not
a resident of the place and was probably
unknown to the judge until the present
action was brought. But it does not make
any difference, so far as the Press knows,
who tries the ease. The other judges of
the state are said to be very busy just
now and the delay may be considerable.
In the case of the State VS.. John Smith,
the prosecuting witness being a member
of the state militia was away and the
case will probably come up at the time
the Crews case is tried.
The State VS.. James Smith is a case in
which Harry Hutchinson, a stockman,
living on the Big Missouri river, swore
out a complaint and failed to appear.
The information was filed and the case
continued over the term. In the case of
the State VS.. Herman Becker, w. J.
Hayes, the prosecuting witness failed to
appear. He had been duly %subpoenaed
and a bench warrant for his arrest was
ordered Hayes was last seen in Dick
inson Thursday night, April %. 1t is not
known whether he skipped out or has
wandered away in a fit of temporary in
sanity. The officials say he was acting
strange of late.
James G. Saunders was made referee
in the case of Wiley VS.. McGillivray.
The Gans-Beasley sheep case came up,
and, as had been predicted, something
happened" Attorneys Ball and Camp
bell applied for change Of venue and
were supported by afidavits from resi-
dents: of the county to the effect that so
many people of the county had become
acquainted with the facts Of the case that
4 fair,trial could not be had. And to off
set these Attorneys Hughes and Simpson
furnished good affidavits to the effect
that Comparatively few people knew the
real facts in the case and that a fair and
impartial trial could be secured. Judge
Winchester granted a change to Morton
county. Perhaps the people who signed
the afidavits to get the case out of the
county did not realize that Stark county
would have to pay the court costs in the
case just the same; and Morton county
people instead. of Stark county people
will get the fees.
