Syllabus

<p>1. Change of venue.—It is not error to overrule a motion for change of venue where the statute has not been complied with and where no injustice appears to have been done the defendant.</p> <p>2. Practice impaneling jury.—It is not error to allow the district attorney to withdraw his acceptance of a juror for grounds discovered since taking the juror and before the jury is complete, and which disqualify the juror.</p> <p>3. Same.—It is proper in a capital case to require the parties to pass upon each juror as called.</p> <p>4. Calling cases in their order.—This rule does not obtain when a case has been set for a day certain and a special venire ordered for that day.</p> <p>5. Challenge to the array.—It is not a cause of challenge to the array that some jurors of a large venire are incompetent, there being no other evidence of unfairness on the part of the officer summoning the venire.</p>
