that no doubt some of the cases would
never come to trial, he started a coun-
tywide discussion.
What did the Judge mean?" is ask
ed on all sides.
The best answer is that the judges
meaning can be taken as having two
sides to it, and that he merely spoke
from past experience.
Lawyers say that the Judge meant
that If the state obtained a couple of
convictions at the outset that here
would be a rush of confessions obviat-
ing the necessity of further trials. in
asmuch as the defendants would throw
themselves upon the mercy of the
court
The other side is that should the
state fail in it's strong cases it will
not go ahead with the weak ones.
State Satisfied With Porter.
The action of Judge Van Fleet on
Saturday granting the four defend
ants their plea for change of venue
is satisfactory to Special Prosecutors
Parker and Hodges. While the state
might have possibly prevented the
cases going to Porter county and
might have sent them to some other
county, doing so would have eliminated
Judge Van Fleet. Inasmuch as the
Judge has a reputation for fairness and
for knowing the law the state was sat
isfied to try the cases in Porter and
keep the present judge.
Until this year Porter county has
been considered a good jury county
but the state is willing to take its
chances.
