105. When any suit or action, issues or petition, presentment or
indictment for offenses which are or may be punishable by death shall
be removed according to the provisions of section 102, it shall and may be
lawful for the party at whose instance the said suit or action, issues or
petition, presentment or indictment was not removed, if he shall think
that justice cannot be done him in said court to which said suit or action,
issues or petition, presentment or indictment has been removed, to file an
affidavit, as prescribed by section 102, in said court to which said
removal is ordered, suggesting that he can not have justice in such court,
whereupon the said court shall remove the said cause, suit or action,
issues or petition, presentment or indictment, to such other court having
jurisdiction in such cases as the said court shall think will best tend
to justice between the parties to the said suit or action, issues or petition,
presentment or indictment. When any presentment or indictment for
offenses which are not or may not be punishable by death shall be
ordered to be removed under the provisions of section 102 no removal
shall be ordered by the court to which the same shall have been removed,
upon the application of the party at whose instance such presentment or
indictment was not removed, unless in the exercise of its discretion
the said court shall be satisfied by proof that such removal is necessary
for the purpose of a fair and impartial trial.
