Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 4, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 April 1906 — McCOY CASES SET FOR MAY 7. [ARTICLE]

McCOY CASES SET FOR MAY 7.

The criminal cases against the McCoys are set for the third week of the White circuit court, on Monday, May 7. This will give the defendants ample time to find some excuse for another continuance, no doubt, if they desire it. The general opinion here is that they will escape oonviction by some hook or crook. We notice that the Republican states that the date of trial as set is the last week of the term, and thinks this in itself is a suspicions move. It criticises the court for setting it so late and thinks no more cases from this county should be sent to White. Now, as a matter of fact the case is not set for the last week, ttyere being a five weeks’ term in White, and the attorneys generally have the fixing of the trial dates. Why not criticise the thousand dollar attorney who has been employed to prosecute the cases, instead of the oourt? See Hershman & Hodges for Farm and City loans and Fire 1 Insurance.
