days citizens had been celebrating

Reid on the
Bench.

Hayward, Dec THE trial of John
Deitz of Cameron dam, for the alleged
murder of Deputy Sheriff Harp, will
open next Monday at Hayward. The
date was set when Judge Wickham
of Eau Claire, who heard the petitions
of Deitz' lawyers for change of venue
and continuances, relinquished his
place upon the bench to Judge Reid
of Wausau, who will try the case.
The attorneys fighting for Deitz were
thwarted at every turn in their ef-
forts to get a change of venue and
continuance of the case. Then they
filed aftidavits of prejudice against
every circuit judge of Wisconsin.
Judges Fower, O'Neill. Parish, Hast

was named, too, as was Judge Wick
ham, the latter accepting the affidavit
for filing and indicating he would par
don the charge of w. B. Rubin on
of Deitz' attorneys.
Deitz and Rubin who has been ac-
lively handling the defense, met in
the Jail and as result of wordy
encounter Rubin is relegated to ad-
visory counsel and Clarence barrow,
famous Socialist lawyer of Chicago,
placed at the helm.
Deitz Is Impatient.
Deitz is impatient at the trend of
affairs. He is said to have told Rubin
in the county Jail he did not see why
the attorneys for the defense did not
take some decisive action. He threat
ened, it is declared, to discharge his
attorney for failing to take proper
means to bring the case to trial. In
fact, Rubin had been endeavoring to
delay matters against his orders, Deitz
declared.
Deitz contends he would be willing
to appear for trial at any time. He
