Opinion

31761.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 9, 1947.

Change of venue; from Cobb Superior Court — Judge Hawkins. July 29, 1947.

Daniel Duke, for plaintiff in error.

H. G. Vandiviere, Solicitor-General, contra.


1. The trial judge did not err in refusing to grant the defendant a change of venue either because there was a probability or danger of lynching or other violence or because an impartial jury could not be obtained in the county where the crime was committed.

2. The rulings in Lucas v. State, 74 Ga. App. 682 ( 41 S.E.2d, 163), are controlling on the issues presented in the instant case.

Judgment affirmed. Gardner and Townsend, JJ., concur.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 9, 1947.
