““Venue is jurisdictional and may be established by the preponderance of the evidence (not beyond a reasonable doubt). Norris v. State, 127 Tenn. 437, 438 , 155 S.W. 165 . Venue, like any other fact, may be proven by circumstantial evidence. Ford v. State, 184 Tenn. 443 , 201 S.W.2d 539 . In proving venue it frequently becomes necessary to add together the evidence of two or more witnesses for obvious reasons. The authorities generally recognize this as a proper and necessary means of establishing this jurisdictional fact. See 23 C.J.S., Criminal Law, § 914, page 169.””
