NYE LIBEL CASE IN THE AIR.
Affidavit Causes Judge Tanner 10 Throw the Responsibility
And Transfer i 10 the District Court Thus
Raising an important Question

The criminal libel suit instituted
some time ago by City Attorney George
L. Nye against Councilmen f. S Fern
strom and Charles Cottrell, Jr., is now
apparently up in the air An attempt
was made by County Attorney Wester-
welt this morning to have the case
transferred back from Judge Tanner $
court 10 Judge Dlehi Failing in that,
an affidavit and motion was filed by
the attorney for the state, asking that
the case be transferred to the district
court as It appeared from affidayits
filed that both judges Of the city court
are prejudiced and either one side or
the other feared THAI an impartial trial
of the case could not be had.
Judge Tanner was perfectly willing
10 snilt the responsibility connected
with the case upoa district judge, so
he ordered thar the clerk transcript a
record OF All proceedings in the case
TO the district cOuIg so that the pre-
liminary hearing OF the two councilmen
can be conducted by Judge of that
court This leaves the case In a decld-
eddy unsettled ana doubtful condition,
as It is stated that the attorneys for
the defense will raise the point as TO
the right Of a judge Of the city court
to transfer preliminary hearing to
the district court In such a manner,
and should that point be sustained,
which Is very probable the case will
probably be dropped entirely The de-
PENDANTS We're granted change of
venue by Judge Diehl on the ground OF
prejudice and the state was today

by Judge Tanner on the same ground.
so II the district court holds that the
case is not properly before IL that will
end the matter, as the two city judges
are now disqualified from hearing the
case,

Nh Westervelt then moved that the
records In the case be certified TO the

ner provided by law to the district
court in and for Salt Lake county.
GEORGE WESTERVELT."
RESISTED BY sTRAUP.
Mr. straup resisted the motion and
argued that when change OF venue
has been taken, as was done in this
case, II Is supposed that the change Is
suitable to both parties 20 the action.
II there was any objection. he con-
tended that II should have been made
at the time the change was granted and
the other side cannot sit by with fold
ed arms and not object and then wait
until after the change Is made and then
move for another change as that would
delay the trial OF cases and would not
be- just.
JUDGE POWERS HEARD.
Judge Powers commended that unless
something new should come up the
state is not entitled 10 change. The
record shows, he said that they made
no objection to the cause being trans
ferred 10 this court Mr.. Westervelt
stated that he aid object at the time
10 the case being transferred at all.
COURT SETTLES 1T.
Judge Tanner settled the matter by
stating that In his opinion the conten-
ton OF the defense r. right as mat
ter OF law. but that Il seems that the
court may use its own discretion IN
transferring a case. lie said that he
did not feel that he could try case
wherein an affidavit ~ this kind were
hled. as II would not be Just 10 either
party He therefore ordered the case
transferred 10 the district court Just
when II will BE- taken up by the district
court Is not known. as none OF the
judges are holding court during the
summer months. but when q does come
up the question Of the legality OF the
transfer will have TO be determined
first.

MOTION TO REMAND.

When the case was called before
Judge Tanner this morning. County At
tomey Westeryelt moved that IL be
remanded 10 Judge Diehl for the reason
that the order transferring said cause
TO this division OF the court was i'm
properly made Mr. Westervelt argued
that the transfer of the case was made
i'm accordance with the law of 1903
which he contended does not apply TO
preliminary hearings. but that the
transfer should have been made pursu-
ant to section 1860 Of the Revised
Statutes of 1898. In answer, Judge
Powers and Mr.. Straup argued that
the law OF 1903 Is applicable TO This case
and that this court cannot review the
proceedings OF a court Of concurrent
jurisdiction, hence It cannot say wheth-
er the case was properly transferred.
That power would belong only TO the
appellate court. They contended that
the case was transferred properly by
Judge Dehl and the only thing this
court could DO was 20 go ahead and
conduct the preliminary examination Of
the defendants Judge Tanner ruled
that the cause was properly transfer
