Grace the prisoner was hurriediy
taken from the county Jail here and
sent to Little Rock for safe keep
ing, Although there Was no indica-
lion of mob violence nor any intima-
ton of it, Sheriff Edgar brewster
deemed this move proper at this time.
In granting the application for a
change OF venue, Judge Grace sid
that he realized that he might be-
criticised for his action, bur said the
case was not one that demanded an
immediate trial. The indictment was
returned in October, he said, and
without expressing his personal
views one way Or the other, Judeg
Grace said that he thought the petit
ton for the change Of venue was well
supported by testimony and under
the law he thought it his duty to
grant it.
The petition was fled by Aftorpexx
Sorrells and Whitelaw, who appear
ed in court and urged the court 10
grant the request of their client. The
petition was stubbornly resisted by
