vs.
Ray Raymond
I Stanley Hallett being duly sworn on my oath depose and say that I am now and for the past nine years have been a resident of the precinct of Medical Lake in Spokane County Washington Territory. That I have casual knowledge that there was such a case as that above named ever since the homicide out of which it grew. That I am well acquainted with the people residing in said Medical Lake precinct and have personal acquaintance with the greater part of them. That I have opportunity to hear the opinions and sentiments of the people of said precinct expressed and in a general way know the same. That I have never heard any expression of hostility to or prejudice against the said defendant Ray Raymond by the residents of said precinct. That if there was prejudice and ill will existing against her there I should have been most certain to have heard it. That from my best information the alleged facts relating to the homicide out of which said action grew are not generally known to the people of said precinct and that they generally have not formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of said defendant and that the people of said precinct are not prejudiced against said Ray Raymond in said action.
Affiant further saith that there are about four hundred people living in said Medical Lake precinct and that affiant verily believes that a large number of good unprejudiced and legally qualified jurors can be summoned and secured in said precinct to serve as jurors in said action and further applicant saith not.
