Attorney J. C. Moreland, of Portland,
has been in Oregon City several times
lately. It now transpires that he is
trying to get a change of venue for the
trial of Dan Magone on the charge of the

for a change of venue he states that a
juror cannot be obtained in Multnomah
county, who has not talked or read about
the case; and that severe comment has
prejudiced the public against the
desecrators. Another point is that
many of the witnesses live in Clackamas
county, and it would be a saving of ex
pense to have the continued trial in this
county.
