tae ratio of Interested persons, based
upon the population of Franklin and
Fulton counties respectively, is much
greater than in the case cited.
therefore, the reasoning and rule in
tfat case apply with greater force in
FuiCon county than in Franklin. The
situation in Fulton county is further
aggravated and intensified by the re-
cent attempted jail delivery.

trine and rule laid down in Baxter

control the discretion of nisi prius

it MIGHT and probably would be dan

ninion may be spread upon the jour

Judge Wolf called the jurymen to-
gether and dismissed them.
This means that this case will be
tried, on date not yet announced, at
Bryan, before a jury of Williams
county citizens and the prisoner, Ed
ward 7. O'Neill, will be taken to
Bryan. For obvious reasons the time
of O'Neill's transfer to the Williams
county Jail is at the discretion of the
sheriff, and it is entirely possible that
the prisoner may be in Bryan by the
time these words are being read in
the Tribune.
Fulton county will have to bear the
expense of the transfer, the mainten-
ance of a sufficient guard which ex-
perience has shown is necessary in
this case and all the expenses of the
trial. The witnesses and prosecuting
attorney will have to go to Bryan and
the trial will proceed the same as if
held i'll Wauseon, with the exceptions
of the officers of the court and the
jury.
There was a feeling Of INDIGNATION
rife in Wauseon over the turn affairs
have taken, but sober second thought
confirms the opinion that Judge
Bailey based his decision on good and
sufficient legal grounds.
The Tribune believes that the dig
nifty of the law should be maintained
and that every person coming within
] the jurisdiction of the courts should
be assured of fair trial and impartial
justice, and we believe further that

O'NEILL TRIAL IN BRYAN
Judge John Bailey Allows Motion For Change of Venue
In Case of Edward T. O'Ne Alleged Delta Bank
Robber To Be Sent to Bryan For Trial

Last Tuesday Judge J. Bailey of
Ottawa was called to Wauseon tc
hear and pass upon a motion filed by
the attorneys of Edward T. OsNeaiil
who is under indictment for robbery
of the Delta Bank, for change.
The motion was based upon the
assumption that the "vast volumn o1
public sentiment" (among the people
of Fulton County, "will absolutely
prevent the defendant from having
a fair trial"
The petition further states. in
essence, that the sentiment has been
"arroused and created" by those in
terested in the bank at Delta which
was robbed and by friends Of the
bank also by publications in DAILY
PAPERS," statements of public Of
ficials and other facts and occurrences
over which the defendant had no con-
troll and of which he was entirely
innocent
The petition specifically mentions
as one of the aforesaid facts and
occurrences, the attempted jail de-
livery of about the 23rd day of June
and closes with the following which
is quoted verbatim from the petition
on file: ~.
"The defendant further says that
upon the hearing of this motion, he
expects to offer in support thereof
affidavits and oral evidence as pro-
vided by statute and that upon the hear
ing of said motion, the Honorable Fred
Wolf, Judge of this Court, is and will be
a necessary and material witness and
that by reason thereof he is disqualified
from hearing or passing upon this appli-
cation for change of venue.
Just why and how Judge Wolf was a
necessary. and material witness" does
not appear to the ''laity'' at all events he
was not called upon at any time during
the progress cf the hearing which con
tlnued practically all day Tuesday. 1t
may be that by some trend of the legal
mind. The Judge was held 10 be neces-
ary and material as a SILENT witness
and the best way to use him was to keep
him off the bench in his own court and
out of the case. The attorney for O'Ne;l
put up asstiff fight in support of their mo-
ton and at the close of court Tuesday
afternoon Judge Bailey took the matter
under advisement announcing that he
would communicate his decision Wednes
day forenoon.
Wednesday, July 7th, was the day
set for the trial of the case of the
State of Ohio VS.. Edward T. O'Neill;
the jurymen had been notified to be
present and ready for service on that
date, and as there was no opportun
ity of notifying them not to come
they were all on hand Wednesday
morning.
About II o'clock the decision O.
