ARGUING MOTION TO QUASH

Attorney Charles Snyder of Fowler Hearing State vs. Stockton Case. ’ln the case of the sta?k vs. Jay W. Stockton, charging perjury, in the Newton circuit court, the defendant took a change of venue from Judge Hanley Friday afternoon and it was practically agreed that Judge Berry of the BentonWarren circuit should hear the case, but the latter was called to a distant state on some matter which made it impossible for him to sit in the cause, and Monday the court suggested names of five, as now provided by law in a criminal case, from which to select a judge, and after the striking off it was agreed, that Mr. Snyder of Fowler should hear the case. The defendant’s motion to quash the affidavit was being argued yesterday and it was expected at 2 p. m. that the argument would last the entire day, when court would adjourn until Thursday morning.
