The petition shows that about May 15, 1890, an indictment for murder in the first degree was preferred against relator by a grand jury of the city of St. Louis; that afterwards, on the application of relator, a change of venue was granted him, and the case removed to the circuit court of St. Louis county. While the case was still pending in said court, and on the 6th day of October, 1891, a grand jury of the city of St. Louis found a new indictment against relator for the same offense of which he was charged in the one then pending. The said circuit court, having been informed of the preferment of the new indictment, quashed the one pending, and defendant was rearrested, and held under the new one, and was taken to the city of St. Louis for trial. Relator afterwards appeared in the St. Louis criminal court, in which said second indictment was pending, and, by motion, asked to have the case transmitted to the circuit court of St. Louis county for trial. This motion was denied, and a writ of mandamus is now prayed to require said criminal court to send the case to the said circuit court for trial. Relator claims the right to a trial in St. Louis...
