From Thursday'sS st. Louis Star: GA
town with a population of 200, twelve
miles from the nearest railroad sta
ton, along roads that r practically
impossible to automobiles, and 100
miles from st. Louis, was named to-
day by Judge Calhoun in the circuit
court as the place for the trail of
Bruce Cameron, transportation super
intendent of the United Railways
Company. Cameron is to be tried on
charges of burglary and larceny in
connection with the theft of referen-
dun petitions on the United Railways
franchise ordinance. Centerville is
the town. 1t is in Reynolds County,
and is in the Twenty-fi first Judicial
District. The Judge of the court there
is Elbridge NJ. Deering of Potosi.
Judge Calhoun said he had selected
Centerville because of it's small popu-
lation which made a street car system
unnecessary and prevented it's having
any public utility troubles. Cameron
gave bond for $500 to appear the
fourth Monday in May. The bond
was signed by John Garrett, president
of the Missouri Bridge and Iron Com
pany, and Thomas L. Anderson. When
Circuit Attorney Mcdaniel heard that
the trial was to be held at C~enterville,
he said: 81 guess we will all have to
take our tents along" as Che town is
in a very sparsely settled part of the
state. Judge Calhoun, in granting
the change of venue, said that he had
considered the circuits Immediately
adjoining in the city first. The Thirty
fifth, comprising st. Charles, Lincoln
and Pike counties, is presided over
by Judge Voolfolk, he said, who is a
first cousin of Elliot w. Major, Gamer
on's attorney. The Thirty second,
comprising Franklin, Gasconade and
Usage counties, contains too many
large cities where st. Louis newspa-
pers circulate and where there might
be prejudice against the defendant.
Judge Calhoun, in commenting on his
choice for a place for the hearing OF
the trail, said the citizens of Reynolds
County are "honest, God-fearing''
persons, and that both parties could
count on a fair trial. At the hearing
of the arguments for a change of
venue, last Tuesday, nineteen wit
nesses testified that they thought
Cameron could not receive a fair trail
in st. Louis on accent of the preju-
dice said to exist against the United
Railways Company. One witness
testified that "the people of st. Louis
would consider q United Rail-
ways official guilty until he was
proved innocent" Copies of st.
Louis newspapers also were placed
in evidence to show that they had in
f1uenced the minds of st. Loulsans
against the defendant"
