Crim inal District Judge Robert A. Bell transferred the murder trial of former Dallas Police Chief B L Jones to Kaufman on change of venue. Defense and prosecution agreed Dallas publicity tainted impartiality. Since Tuesday only three jurors were seated from 73 veniremen. 60 were dismissed. Jones began trial last March for slaying his son in law George Vadere on a downtown Dallas street in January 1948. A mistrial was declared when the Dallas jury could not reach a verdict.
