The opinion

Morrow, P. J.

(dissenting).

Upon the facts set forth in the record, it is the opinion of the writer that it was the imperative duty of the court to grant the appellant’s motion for a change of venue. Because of the refusal of the trial court to do so, I am unwilling to assent to the affirmance of the judgment of conviction and therefore enter my dissent.
