Arizona citizen., 1872-02-17

L. Jones, a witness for defendant was being examined and before any cross examination had been had, words to this effect: "I have heard enough "of this case. You (addressing the jury) will find a verdict for the de- " fendant. You need not leave your :" seats. I will not accept any other" and came down from the bench say ing MT. Sheriff, adjourn the Court" "
 That his manner and conduct on the bench was arbitrary and unbecoming the position he occupied, both in his treatment of parties called before him and of the several jurors; that he, previous to the decision of case in which deponent was appellant before his Court, called upon deponent at an early hour of the morning at his room, and in substance said as follows: II "am bound to do something for Kelley "in this case, but I propose to appoint " him as a co-administrator with you, {" but with no power to interfere with "you. Will this arrangement satisfy "you?"
 That after the adjournment of Court and while the said Isham Reavis was at San Diego, he there wrote and directed letter to MT. Kelley and I, ordering us to pay over to the Colorado Steam Navigation Company, here the word "money is evidently omitted by mistake, as Reavis' letter heretofore published shows he used it-ED. CITIZEN, ex- torted, as he wrote, from said Co. :; that he also directed the firm of Hooper, Whiting & Co.,, of this place, to retain in their hands moneys be- longing to the estate of M. D. Dob bins, deceased, subject to the order of his Court and that when deponent asked him for the authority for mak- ing such an order, he dismissed the deponent from his office as administra- tor of said estate; that from his ac- tions in this matter and many others, deponent has reason to believe and does believe that the said Isham Reavis IS corrupt as @ Judge and un- worthy to hold the said position

 CLARENCE GRAY,
 Notary Public.
 Third, we present the affidavit of Clarence Gray, Esq, District At torney of Yuma county, whose reputa- ton for integrity is number one. This presents alleged acts of Judge Reavis, which should consign a man or Judge guilty of them to an infamous ob- scurity, if nothing worse. Think of 8 Judge trying to influence an attorney to abandon his client; of offering to see him paid $1, 200 for the trsachery and promising him g. judgment in the case then pending before said Judge; of setting up his own knowl- edge of facts in said case as superior to any that an upright man could bring in, before hearing what such testimony would be, and dogmatically ignoring the merits of the case; that said Judge tried to explain that he was misunderstood after suffering himself to be in effect called scoundrel. But here is MT. Gray's affidavit:
 Territory of Arizona, county of Yuma-ss. Personally appeared be- fore me, Clarence Gray, who being duly sworn deposes and says: My name is Clarence Gray; l am an at torney and counselor at law, and at present acting district attorney for Yuma county, A. T. About two months ago, to-wit, in the month of December 1871, I was employed by one David Neahr to attend to case which was then pending in the District Court of the 2d Judicial District, in which he was defendant and Charles l.. Jones was plaintiff After my hay ing been employed by the above named David Neahr as stated, Isham Reavis, the Judge of the aforemen- toned Court, met me one evening on the street, and spoke to me ill sub- stance about as follows: 'You were every foolish, MT. Gray, to have "taken that case of Neahr's; you "cannot make any money out of it. If you will take Jones side of the case. I will see that he naYs you
