1. ““The Court: You say you think it is well taken. [The motion for a change of venue.] Will you state the reasons why you think it is well taken ? Mr. Jares: [For the appellee] By reason of my client’s insistence that there be a change of venue, because of the sudden assigning of this case, your Honor, and the fact we are on trial. We are not ready, we have asked for a continuance and we do not feel, we can get a fair and impartial trial. Mr. Abraham: [For the appellant] That statement alone— Mr. Jares: I am not making this, your Honor, and if you wish to question Mrs. Hoffmann, of course you can. The Court: Well, counsel, you present a petition, say you will not receive a fair and impartial trial in this court, and I would like to hear the reason why she believes she would not receive a fair and impartial trial. Mr. Jares: Would you like to call Mrs. Hoffmann? The Court: Yes. Mr. Jares: Mrs. Hoffmann, will you come forward? Swear the witness.””
