Walter Higginbotham, charged with
first degree murder growing out of
The death of Martin Tabert of North
Dakota, in a convict labor camp, was
halted temporarily this morning un-
til a new panel of veniremen could
be drawn, when the court sustained
a motion by the state to quash the
panel already in court on the
grounds that it was improperly
drawn.
Judge Mallory Horne, presiding in
this circuit, instructed Sheriff Cha
vous to have q new panel on hand
at two o'clock this afternoon and
the court recessed until that hour.
Preliminary work conferred in the
efforts of the counsel for the state
to obtain a change Of venue. The
state was expected to present a plea
that full justice could not be obtain
ed, that witnesses would be intimi-
dated, that already several threats
had been made, and that fair trial
therefore could not result.
Counsel for defense was expected
to counter with the assurance that
fair trial would be held and that
ample protection could be afforded
all witnesses.
Tabert, it is charged, died as the
result of a severe beating at the
hands of ,Higginbotham, while serv-
ing a term in the Putnam Lumber
company's private convict>camp.
Fight For Change Venue
If the Higginbotham case is tax
en- up this afternoon 1t is expected
a motion will be made for change
of venue on the grounds that a
fair trial cannot be obtained here.
The state is prepared to present an
affidavit backing up this conten-
ton, said to be signed by more than
fifty citizens.
It is understood Judge Horne
will render a decision tomorrow. If
the states motion is not sustained,
extra juror panels will be sum =
moned and the actual trial probab
ly will not get under way until
Monday.
The court proceedings are being
held in Baptist church, about one
mile from the center of the town,
because the county has no court
house. Judge Horne Is using the
pulpit for his bench.
