heard the company criticised for its
manner of securing readmission to the

W.I- McElroy of Austin said that he
had heard the defendant discussed to
several parts of the county and did not
beiteve that it would be impossible for
a fair trial to be had here.
J. Gregg Hill, a real eestate man in

he had frequently heard people discuss
the W aters- Pierce Oil company case

pressed generally indicated prejudice

ally assumed that it was a trust and
had been fraudulently readmitted to 1
the state, but he declared his belief
that an impartial jury could be secured
in Travis county to try the case He
said that he believed the people were
generally prejudiced against the con-
solidation of such large concerns as
the W aters-Pierce and Standard Oli

W E Carpenter, a merchant of Aus-

be difficult to secure an impartial jury

have caused the organization of a
health department at this port to pre-
