Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Practice, District Court — Change of Venue. The fact that a large number of the inhabitants of the county may be prejudiced against the defendant will not justify a change of venue on the ground of local prejudice if the remainder of the people of the county are free from prejudice and the defendant may still have a fair trial within the county.</p> <p>2. - Prejudice of Trial Judge. The prejudice of the judge, which is made a statutory ground for change of venue in a criminal case, refers to his prejudice against a party, and not to an opinion that the judge has formed, or is believed to entertain, upon a legal question arising in the case.</p>
