New Oulkamb, January 28.-The
Superior Criminal Court, was crowded
to-day. When the three accused mem¬
bers of the Returning Board—Messrs
Anderson, Casanave and Kenner—were
brought to the bar, counsel for T. C.
Anderson, filed a motion for change of
venue, alleging that be could not have a
fair trial in this parish, prejudice
against him having increased in the last
few days. After the argument Judge
W'hitaker stated that the jury had been
drawn in a most impartial manner and
was composed of conscientious, honest
men, of unimpeachable character.—
What could the accused demand more ?
The Court had said Friday i£ would not
be trifled with. Considering the motion
for a change of venue as an attempt at
delay, the Court denies the same. The
defense took a bill of exceptions. The
Attorney-General renewed the motion
for a severance In the trial of the ac
ensed. lie said the State had wished to
try the case of the State vs Wells, first,
but ah he had not come forth be would
move to call up the case of Thos. C. An¬

defense, opposed the motion for sever¬
ance, as it would only he detrimental to
the accused, depriving them of their
combined peremptory challenges. The
Court granted the motion for severance
and the case of the State vs. Thos. C.
Anderson was then fixed for trial. Wit
were called and the empanelling
of the jury was proceeded with.
To dissipate evasions and to bring
matters to a decisive test, Mr. Chandler.
