A motion for a change of venne upon an affidavit of prejudice of the judge, under Laws 1911, p. 617, is timely, where the accused was not represented by counsel at the time of arraignment and plea when the cause was set for trial, and counsel made the motion at the time of their first appearance, shortly after learning that the trial had been set.</p> <p>Peohibition- — When Lies — Adequacy of Remedy by Appeal.
