NEW INDICTMENTS IN LYNCH|NG CASE
 APPEAR PROBABLE
Grand Jury to Resume Inquiry Monday-Change of Venue Granted and Cases Set
 for January 31

Jasper, January 21.-( (Spe- cial.) - The Walker county grand jury, Investigating the recent lynching of William Baird, miner, who was taken from the local jail here Janu- ary 13 and murdered by mob bers who sieved his body with 25 bullets, adjourned at 5 o'clock this afternoon until 10 o'clock Monday, January 24.
 No additional report was made to Judge T, r. Sowell of the circuit court other than the verbal statement by Judge Horace C. Wilkinson that the inquiry has not been completed and that additional witnesses will be ex- amined next Monday. 1t is understood that the grand jury, at the time of ad journment, was Investigating the prot- able connection of five soldiers In ar- dition to the nine already indicted with the lynching
 It also Is understood thnt two
 of these are being investigated
 with possible chnncc of indict-
 ment for first degree murGer and
 thut the remaining three for the
 lesser OTcnsc of being in "thc
 ring of conspirators.v
 CHANGE OF VENUE
 Another feature of today's develop- ments ip the lynchng cases came when Judge Sowell sustained the motion of counsel for the nine accused soldiers for a change of venue. The court transferred the cases to the Marion county circuit at Hamilton, and set Monday, January 3l as the date of trial. Judge Wilkinson appeared for the state when the motion was pre- scented but offered no resistance.
 It is understood that he did not fa- vor the change because of the added expense but felt that change prob ably would eliminate all possibility ot the element of prejudice for or against the accused men, for Walker county, where the Iynching occurred has been rather thoroughly aroused over the tragedy and also 1t has been the scene of strike. which caused the presence of the soldiers in that section
