after his attorneys had failed to OBJ
tain a change of venue from the
county on the ground that feeling has
been high against Todd because OF
the fact that the tragedy occurred the

The state commended that the Keet
kidnapping, instead of arousing feeling
against Todd had served to over
shadow the alleged murder and Judge
Johnson overruled the motion by
Todd's attorneys. Todd denies he
killed Mrs. Hudnall, with whom he
was infatuated, declaring that she

out her part of the agreement by
