THE ISENHOWER CASE
IS MOVED TO YORK
Will Be Heard Here in November.
Judge Rice Has Designated This Place for the Case.

Presiding at Winnsboro yesterday, Judge Hayne F. Rice granted a motion made by counsel for defense in the Isenhower case, asking for a change of venue, and designated York as the county in which to try the case.

This means that the trial will be held here at the regular term of court of general sessions, which will be held in November. Judge Rice will preside.

The grand jury of Fairfield county has returned true bills against Ernest Isenhower, Jesse Morrison and James Rawls, charged with the murder of Sheriff A. D. Hood, Raleigh Boulware and Jules Smith. The history of the case is sufficiently well known to York people.

The motion was made by Messrs. J. W. Hanahan and A. L. Gaston.

Cole L. Blease, Esq., who represents Ernest Isenhower, was present.

All affidavits submitted to support of the motion were in substance to the effect that a fair and impartial trial jury as contemplated by the law could not be obtained in Fairfield county by reason of the fact that the vast majority of the citizens had formed or expressed their opinion in the case.

Solicitor J. K. Henry did not oppose the motion, but stated that personally, he desired the case tried in Fairfield county, and have that county bear what shame or glory there was to be in the case. However, he stated, there was considerable feeling and prejudice so far as he had been able to ascertain on both sides, and his only aim in the cases could be was to see a fair and impartial trial for the commonwealth and the defendants, he would leave the matter entirely for the court's decision.—York News.
