At 2 o’clock in the afternoon the motion was heard and on application of the defendant a change of venue was granted by Judge Taliaferro to McLennan county. In June 1892, there lived a country maiden, Miss Mollie White on the banks of the San Gabriel River, in this county, and on a beautiful moonlight night in that month, while she slept peacefully in her country home, some one slipped to her room about midnight and with one incision with a knife, near the middle of her throat, murdered her. She struggled to her father’s room, for there was a connecting door between the two rooms, called one time, fell gasping, and expired. The news of this crime spread like wildfire and the neighbors gathered to administer to the bereaved and pay their last tribute of respect to the dead. Parties scoured the whole country in search of the perpetrator, but to no avail. The defendant was suspected and arrested and so strong was the public sentiment in that community against him that it was only by the vigilance of the officials that he escaped being lynched. But the cooler heads controlled and the law was allowed to take its course, and at two former trials the defendant has been found guilty and given the penalty of life imprisonment. But the judgments have been reversed by the court of criminal appeals, and he now stands for another trial. = = = = Dallas Morning News, 30 May 1898, p. 5 Dallas, Dallas County, Texas “Jim Bob Crow Case on Trial” Waco, Tex., 29 May – In Judge Sam R.

Judge Sam Scott refused to permit the issuance of further process, holding that the witnesses were under the court of this, the twentieth judicial district, and were bound to follow the case wherever it goes. This ruling caused some complain among the witnesses, many of whom are ill able to pay railroad fare to Waco.
