Auto Speeding Case Postponed Until Friday—Witnesses Absent

The case of the State of Indiana vs. Jamie Willis, which was venued from Marion township to Squire Bussell’s court in Hanging Grove and Mt for trial Monday, has been postponed until Friday. Prosecutor Longwell came over from Brook Monday and with the state’s witnesses went to the Bussell court, while defendant Willis, accompanied by his attorney, John A. Dunlap, and several witnesses, also went there. After arriving Mr. Dunlap explained that three of the defendant’s witnesses were in Chicago and could not be here until Friday and prayed a continuance until that day. This was granted. The decision was disappointing to a gang of threshers at the Bussell residence, who were expecting to be called as a jury in tbecase. It M thought probable that the defendant will take a change of venue from the court next Friday. If he does the case will probably be sent to Justice Gaffield, of Milroy township. Prosecutor Longwell will be over Thursday to look after the State’s side of the case alleging that Hugh Burns, of DeMotte, was recently guilty of intoxication. He will remain over until Friday for the Willis case.
