Show Motion for Change In Trial Site Denied by Judge A motion to change the place of trial for Verne Alfred Braasch, 21, and Melvin LeRoy Sullivan, 19, who are charged with the first degree murder of Howard W. (Duke) Manzionc, 21, Beaver, was denied at a special session of the Fifth Judicial District Court held in Cedar Wednesday. Judge Will L. Hoyt, who was on the bench for the special session, ses-sion, denied the motion. The trial has been set for December 12, at 10 a. m. in Beaver. Manzione was shot to death over a month ago while he was working at a service station in Beaver. The two defendants were readily picked up in Las Vegas, Nevada by police there, and at that time admitted the crime. However, upon appearing in court, they entered a plea of "not guilty". |
