Oa the other side a strong array of
coaasel will plead for change of venue,
tbe attorneye for tbe defence having
beea etrengthened yeaterday by the
addition of Meesre. A. J. Marshall and
Brooke G. Em pie, of tbe local bar.
Tbe defeodant Terry waa in court yea
terday and followed the reading of tbe
adffidavlta attentively.
Tbe prisoner la the dock waa
a worn to the affidavit of removal and
aa the elerk adaiinisteroo the urual
oath, Terry held the Bible nervously.
Mr. Marsdeo Bellamy then turaed to
the eoart and atated that the motion
of which couatel for defence had
gtvea notice waa oae for removal of
the cause to some adjacent county aad
la support of the petltioa he desired
to read flrat the affidavit jaat sworn
to by the defendant and aome others
which had beea obtained by the at

gan reading but the blatant maale of
tbe carnival hobby-horses 00 aa ad
joining corner interfered with the
hearing of those present and Jadge
Brown aeat Deputy Sheriff Harvey
Cox to alienee the disturbing factor.
Mr. Bellamy drew nearer the beach
and read the affidavits through with
out comment. The first waa that of
defendant as follows:

8. H. Terry. )
"The defendant, 8. XL Terry, makes
oath thai he cannot obtain a fair aad
Impartial trial la the eoaaty of New
Haaover, for the reaaoa hereinafter
eel forth.
"He la charged with murder in the
first degree arlalag oat of a homloide
which occurred so recently as the 8th
day of tbe present month.
"He is a persoo of limited mesas
aad has not beea able to procure
counsel until the last few days. The
homldde, as he Is Informed and be
lieve, haa created great excitement In
this county aad the prejadlce is sub-
slaatially ualversal againat the prisoa
r. The county conaiata almost entirely
of the dty of Wilmington where three
dally newspapers are published; all
three of theae papera announced the
homldde ia great head lines and slate
meats pre jadioal to tho prisoner and
calculated to produce a general belief
that he Is guilty of premeditated homi
cide, amounting to murder In the first
degree. Among the statements'
amounting to editorial allegations
were aaaertlons which are untrue In
ract but which, if true, would be most
prejudldal aad fatal to the prisoner.
Borne of tliese newspaper aasertione
were such as follows: A narrative
which In eubataoce to aa allegation,
that the prisoner Bought the deceased
with premeditated purpose to kill; that
the deceased did not draw hla piatol
until the affiant fired, or at leaat un
til tbe deceased saw that this affiant
was trying to kill him. j
"Ia one of the articles, ia one of
the papers, were two allegation! la
taming headliaes, that the coroner's
jury bad pronounced thle affiant
guilty of murder, whereaa, ln-1ruth,
said jary had found bo verdict aor aay
fact that was, oris, inconsistent with
tbe innocence of this affiant
"Ia another of aald daily papers,
among many expressioas aad head
liaes prejadldal to this prisoner, was
aa expression of editorial opinion to
tbe effect that this prisoner's claim
that he was fired at by deceased seem
ed to be poorly supported, aad that
the coroner's jury were unanimous In
tbelr opinion that the deceased did not
fire.
"These dally papers circulate all
over aald dty aad throughout the ru
ral district adjacent to tbe dty and
eoaaty of New Hanover. These news
paper accounts of the homldde have
created a strong and - bitter feeling
against the prisoner aad a general
popular conviction that he is guilty as
cnanrea in ine diu 01 imucunent.
Bach popular conviction la found and
penradiB, : throughout the con. y.,
ifanv neraona styling themselves
twtmnd of the deceased, have been ex

after the homicide there were as a
ant informa and believes and is satis
fied he can prove, many threats of
lynching. Many men of more or less
Influence were beard to say that this
affiant ought to be lynched unto death.
A not infrequent expression among
many was, that if the citizens were
men enough they would take affiant
out of jail and kill him. Other fre
quent expressions as affiant is inform
ed and believes bave been to the effect
that if thia affiant ahould be acquitted.
he ought to be and would ba .lynched
"Th-'s affiant is informed and be
lieves and on such information and
belief, cbargea and alleges that maty
of the frlenda of the deceased have for
many, days been actively engaged in
caavassiae the city of Wilmington so
licltiag funda from its dtizens with
which to prosecute this affiant; that
aald subscription paper has been gen
erally circulated, and that very many
cttizsna of tbe town nave eubscribed
and some of them liberally, to said
fund. - " . .
- 'This affiant farther charges and al
leges that so violent is the local preji
dice aralnat him. that he haa been an
able to procure witnesses, although be
has reason to believe that such persons
are aware of all the facta occurriag at
the time of tbe homldde, and indeed it
ta true, as this affiant is informed by
his counsel, some of such persons bave
refused to answer questions, or to be in
tervlewed by his counsel some of them
saying that they were afraid of the
friends of the deceased.f earing personal
violence if they should appear and tes
tify to what they knew. That a very
large number of citizens of the county
qualified for jary duty, bave openly
expressed and are constantly expressing
the belief not only that the prisoner is
suilty, but also that he. could not ob
tain a fair and Impartial trial in this
county, and yet so intense is the popu
lar feeling r against the prisoner
that nearly ' all these citizens da
cllne to make -voluntary affida
vita, atating what they openly ex
press on the streets aad other places,
public and pirate. Since the day of the
homicide this affiant is Informed and
believes thst the facts as published
bare been generally and thoroughly
canvassed sad discussed by the citizens
generally of Wilmington, and the
county of New Hanover, and that so
fares the information of this affiant
extendr, these discussions have been
adverse to this affiant, and the opinion
almost universally Ir, that this affiant
is guilty of murder and should be
bung, and that those who have ex
pressed any opinion as to the trial have
declared that thia affiant could not get
a fair aad impartial trial In the county
of New Hanover.
"That thia affiant is informed and
believes and therefore oharges and
alleges that the feeling in this county
is so intensely hostile to him that
threats have been made by a large
number of citizens ta take him from
the jatl and lynch him and that in
order to prevent them from executing
their threats, the county and city au
thorities bave been forced to guard
the jail. his

he la a resident of New Hanover coun
ty and has been a resident for
years, his occupation being that of
; that he has heard tbe matter of
the killing of George T. Bland by 8.H.
Terry frequently discussed by a large
number of those qualified to serve as
jarors in the said county of New Han
over; aad that the opinion expressed
by all of them was adverse and preja
dldal to the defendant, Terry, aad toat
there ia not one in hia favor, and that
the aaid defendant could not get a fair
and impartial trial in the said county
of New Hanover,and that this affiant
knows from such expressions and dis
cussions, that there ia a atrong popular
prejudice against taid defendant; fur
ther that this affiant baa no interest in
the said case and has never expressed
the opinion that Terry is not guilty.
"Affiant further says, that from his
knowledge of the opinions of those
qualified to serve as jarors in this
county aad from the prejudioe exist-
inflr In this community against tbe ae
fendsnt he does not believe that the
defendant can get a fair and impartial
trial In this county."

THE STATE HEARD.
Upon completion of the reading of
the affidavit Ur. J. B. Schulken, of
Bchulken & Lewis, of counsel for the
prosecution, aaid that he thought the
attorneys who made affidavita ahould
give namea of those to whom the vio
lent language was attributed. Judge
Russell said counsel for tbe defence
would do so and be presumed that a
private memorandum would be all
that was necessary. Mr. Schulken
said that would be satisfactory. Mr.
Schulken then asked, in behalf of the
State, for time to submit affidavits and
argument in rebuttal and Judge Brown
directed that eoart take a recess until
10 o'clock this morning, when he said
he would hear the State. If the prose
cution desired more time, he would
willingly allow until to-morrow after
noon, if desired. -
