The first read was that jf Jim Wilcox's in which he affirmed he bad nothing to do with Nell Crt peey'a ieath, claiming on account tf public sen timent he could not get a fair trial. Sere the solicitor read a counter affida vit, signed by a number of citizens, believ- ng that the defendant could get a fair trial, also an affidavit from fl re county. bommissionere believing the defendant ould get a fair trial. The solicitor read an affidavit by himself, saving : ' from what he knew of other counties he be lieved the defendant could get as fair a (trial here as any county In the district. Additional affidavits by counsel for Wil cox were read, claiming that on account of the strong feeling and newspaper ar ticles he could not get a fair trial here. A notice found on the jail door some 'weeks ago, "Get Wilcox out of jail by Sat- urday night 11 you don't want trouble," signed ;VVox Popull,". waa also read, lifter reading the affidavits tour strong 'speeches, two on both sides, were made. jAydlect, for Wilcox, spoke first, followed oy Sawyer and the solicitor for the State, and Bond for Wilcox closed.
