mcnts whitman Confident Hyde
Won't Get Trial out OF County

District Attorney Whitman is now con
fdont that Charles H. Hyde will not
succeed in inducing "A supreme Court
Justice to- transfer his trial out OF this
county on the ground Of "iu1amed public
opinion" Judge Whitman = investigation
of the affidavit made by Israel Tiden Jr..
has not merely contradicted the assertions
Of Hyde's public opinion tester but has
gone far toward disproving them
II, however. Justice Lehman grants
John Il Stanchfield's s motion for a change
of venue the Distric, Attorney will submit
tn the Appellate Division the same collec
tion Of af'idavits that he intends To place
before the Grand Jury as basis for
perjury indictment. With these Judge
Whitman expects to checkmate the efforts
of Hyde aud his friends
SO far the District Attorney has secured
ninety three aaidavits from men who
were quoted by Tilden as being violently
opposed 10 Hyde and convinced OF his
guilt. OF the ninety-three only half a
dozen say that they ever discussed Ilyde's
case with anybody Not one corroborates
! Iilden. All of them make oath that they
do not know him and did not say the
things he attributed To them. Tilden in
! support Of Hyde's argument that he is
, iur.duomed quoted lS7 men mostly store
| keepers as saving that HYDE was a crook
or u rascal or IA thief and that he ought
| To he shot. hung sent up or strung up.
