State v. Siers

Hatcher, President:

John S. Siers was found guilty in the criminal court of Harrison county, of an assault on Harry Lyons. ' The judgment of the court is attacked on the following theories:

1. The trial court erred in refusing to grant a change of venue upon the uncontradicted statements contained in the petition therefor and its twelve exhibits.

2. The Court erred in refusing to exclude four members of the jury in this case because of their interest in the case.

3. The Court erred in refusing to give Instruction No. 3 offered by the defendant, submitting to the jury the defense of self defense.
