Came Up
To-day
Change Of Venue
May Be Asked :,

In the case Of the State VS.. Helen
May Payton Wright and Frank
Wright, Attorney Howard n. Ogden
wanted to appear today in the case
as qualified counselor The court
would not permit this. The court said
that the attorney must appear as gem
eral counsel in the case, in order to
rake the certain motions and pleas
that we're likely to come before the
court. Whereupon Mr.. Ogden, as
counsel for the defense, moved that
the Indictment be quashed. His mo
lion was 'oyerruled. The counsel then
filed a plea which was substantially
the same as the plea set forth in the
habeas coEpus proceedings setting
forth the fact that Wright had been
in jail during the time in which two
grand juries had sat and no indict,
ment had been found against him.
The counsel intimated that mo-
ton for change Of venue might be
made.
The counsel said that two new lines
Of evidence would be introduced in
the defense that will be made and
that these lines Of evidence he had
not yet had time to work up.
An affidavit will be prepared asking
for continuance of the trial. The
counsel said this morning that If a
continuance was not granted, a mo.
ton for a change of venue would be
made. The court gave the defense
until two O'Clock this afternoon to
prepare special pleas which the de.
tense wished to submit to the court.
The pleas were prepared and were
submitted to the court to which the
State objected and the court took time
to consider the allegations set up in.
