County Attorney Insists.
In resistance to these, County At
torney Seneca Cornell has filed the
following petition with the court:
Comes now Seneca Cornell, county
attorney for Wapello co;nty, Iowa,
and objects to granting the prayer of
the petition filed by the defendant,
asking for a change of venue in the
Junkin case for the reason that the
said petition and affidevits attached
thereto fail to show that the defend
an. cannot receive a fair and impair
tial trial in this county.
Second. For the reason that the
showing made by the defendant does
not entitle him to change of venue,
is insufficient and fails to show that
the excitement and prejudice against
him in this county is sufficient to pre-
vent aim from receiving a fair and
impartial tril in this county"

assembled for this stupendous pro-
ject but 1t has been presented to
