Change OF venue LAW
UPHELD BY COURT
Judge Can Order Change
When Necessary

Atlanta, Feb. 19.-The new change
of venue law in Georgia by which
when mob violence is feared the pris-
oner can be removed to another coun-
ty instead of making it necessary 10
protect him with troops where the
mob has formed, has been upheld by
the supreme court in a decision hand
ed down in the case of Kennedy
against the state. Kennedy killed his
wife in Emanuel county, and for fear
of mob violence was removed to Chat
ham for safe-keeping. He petitioned
fer a change of venue for the trial, but
it was refused, and he was tried and
convicted in the county where the
crime occurred.
The supreme court holds that under
the new law it is mandatory upon the
superior court judge to order change
of venue when it is evident that mob
violence is likely.
