Syllabus
<p>1. The provision of the constitution in reference to the right of an accused to be tried by an impartial jury in the county where the crime is alleged to have been committed is an important one to the accused.</p> <p>2. Where an application in a criminal prosecution for a change of venue from the county where the crime was committed, is made by the prosecuting attorney, and the accused objects thereto, the matter should be tested in some way so as to make it clearly appear that it is practically impossible to obtain an impartial jury to try the accused in that county.</p>
