Defendants Set Up Claims On per Articles But Lawyer Is tnable to Give Court Decisions. Albert Schlueter and Henry Engelmann, of Granite City, were denied changes of venue in five robbery and two criminal assault indictments by Judge Jesse R. Brown In the circuit court this morning. As the finale ot the hearing after several previous sessions, Brown announced that the defendants had made insufi flcient showing and the petition would be denied in pll indictments. The defendants were in court this morning.

They were taken back the county jail to await trial, probably at the January term of court. As the last step in their efforts to take the charges to another county for hearing, their attorney filed a brief setting up a number of supreme court decisions from other states, but none of the Illinois supreme court.1 The law on which the decisions rendered was not included. Schlueter and Engelmann based their motion on claims articles publihed in the Edwardsville Intelli- gencer, Alton Telegraph and Granite City Press-Record had prejudiced residents of Madison County against them. They also filed several affidavits. The state filed sixty counter affidavits.

In rendering his decision Brown referred to a provision of the law on qualifications of jurors that those who have formed opinions or impressions from newspaper articles or rumors and espressed them, could not render a fair verdict on the law and evidence are exempt from service. He said he believed the writings ia the newspapers were opinions of the writers, not based upon statements of others. He also said that newspapermen are exempt fiom jury ice and with them claiming their emptions no trouble anticipated from them on the jury. Dies of Hammer If lows. St.
