Change of venue in Dwyer case ordered by Supreme Court
In Austin County last week Judge Breen ordered a new trial for Dwyer, who was convicted of murder in the first degree at Agatin and sentenced to hang. The case is to be moved to Elko County jail, with Sheriff M A Murphy delivering custody. District Attorney Maestretti protested a Supreme Court statement, arguing it misrepresented the prosecution. The court commented that the Supreme Court’s assertion was without foundation and admonished its authors for potentially reflecting on officials.
