VENUE CHANGE
NOT GRANTED
Judge in Tampa Lash Muir
ders to Question All
Talesmen

TAMPA. Fla, March 26. (UP)
Judge Robert Dewell decided
last night to make examination of
talesmen a pragmatic rule to de-
termine whether feeling here will
make an impartial trial impossible
for the l. defendants in the Tam
pa lash cases. ...
Temporarily overruling defense
demands for a change of venue,
the judge ordered the state and
defenses to continue efforts to
empanel a six-man jury to hear
charges against the first three de-
PENDANTS.
At the same time, however, he
reserved the right to rule later on
the defense motion to transfer
the trial out of Tampa on the
contention that prejudice here
will block fair trial.
The jurist recessed court until
today, when the tedious task of
attemption to empanel jury was
renewed. More than 80 talesmen
have been excused, -andT'60- more
were ready for examination in
the morning. ..'.
He cited an earlier ruling Of
Judge w. Raleigh Petteway, in
which q similar motion had been
denied, adding he had studied all
exhibits presented by the state in
support of it's plea, but did not
feel justified in allowing the
change of venue.
