Arizona citizen., 1872-01-20

-lt 1t was - heir power to make tne expense about as he stated, and fear ing for my personal liberty, I ap- parently consented to compromise, telling him l would give my answer that evening. then saw the third party, who had mediated between us, and offered to pay the $1, 300, provid- ing they would take it out of the $2,000 forfeited recognizance, MT. Powell promising all the time that should be returned. In reply to my last proposition, MT. Rowel said for several reasons that could not be done as the 5000 was in the Tucson De- positary, but that as soon as the case was over, they would leave little time elapse for the thing to settle down, and then would make proper motions to have the money refunded, &c. 1 then informed them that had not brought $1,5O0 with me, upon which they agreed to take $500 cash, $500 in three months and $500 in six months, which l consented to, they taking my promissory notes for the same, and giving in return receipt,
 see appended document marked B. ED. CITIZEN, for $1,5OO, reading as retaining fee for legal services for one year from date and signed C. w. c. Powell. This was on November 6, and the next morning the case was called, nolle prosequi entered, and l discharged, feeling I was out of the clutches of men far more infamous and a greater curse to this Territory than all the Apaches in 1t.

 Were it not that Rowell was jubi- lant when he thought the lying Colyer' and faithless Nelson were empowered to turn U. s. Artillery on peaceful American citizens on common high way over the public lands, and there fore substantially approved those bad men, and hoped to have equal au- thority at his own disposal, and hence as bad as they, we should feel sorry to publish the foregoing, fearing the enemies of the Territory might seize it as @ morsel pat to their purpose but as he can only count his friends among the bad of which every society has 8 proportion, we do it freely and ask our contemporaries and readers to regard him as in no sense a representative of Arizona. It | is a singular circumstance that just when he discovered, as the fool SUD- posed, that the United States could and would use its artillery against her peaceful citizens, he began to prate of loyalty" and "disloyalty," and by letter warned others not to oppose the Indian policy which he presumed would prevail.
 But to Mir. Hellings' affidavit. Reader, does 1t not carry on its face the stamp of truth ? Possibly a couple of other documents would strengthen what should be but, sad to say, Is not an incredible bit of history. Soon after Mir. Hellings' arrival at Arizona City seeking just trial, a gentleman notified him of his danger, not from proof for Court, but from a perversion of official power, and way was suggested to avoid it. This way was then refused, but find ng matters as he states, he inquired 1nder compulsion and implied threats against his personal liberty, the ( price at which nolle posequis were being sold," and in pursuance thereof he following memorandum was hand d to him: That party says I 800 now 800 8 mos | 800 mos a It cannot be worked so as to come out f the forfeiture for several reasons, but U hey will asst you all they can. n Nou, ;f 4b;c ,,o,,oro1J,,n, ,,,oxo =
