Prosecutor Seeks Change of Venue Six Floyd County Murders
Commonwealth Attorney C. O. Hall said he would seek venue changes in six Floyd County murder cases calling the county the bloodiest area for its size in the western hemisphere. He noted the cases include the July 1933 Prater Creek school trustees shooting affray and the Herbert Spradlin killing of Green Howard last May 6, with about 34 annual murders in recent years in Floyd County and Knott County. Hall urged harsher penalties to deter slayings, citing many convictions and life sentences but stressing jurors are kin or oppose the death penalty. Floyd County, a 42 000 population mountain county near Bloody Harlan, is the district’s focus.
