Arizona citizen., 1872-02-17

'' fense to this action; and I further " believe that the whole of plaintiff "proceedings have been irregular" Reavis replied to me e-"No matter "about the merits. I know all about "this case, and more than any testi- "mony Neahr could bring in. If "you take Jones' side of the case, you twill get judgment" I replied "Judge Reavis, believe you to be scoundrel and 1 want no further con- versation or connection with you" He then told me that I mistook his in- tention-requested me to say nothing about it, &c. CLARENCE GRAY.
 Subscribed and sworn before me, this Sth day of February A. D. 1872.
 A. A. MIX,
 Justice of the Peace.
 The foregoing shows, if 1t does any thing for certain, Judge trying to bribe member of the bar of his own Court, and if anything is to be in ferred from such action, 1t can be no other than that said Judge was inter ested in the result of the suit in ques- tion; and following are some facts which show how the said Judge par ticipated in
 Compromising or Settling Crime.
 The facts herewith recited, are taken 
 from copies of all the original papers in the case, which copies are duly certified as being correct by the Clerk of Reavis' own Court, and under the seal thereof.
 On the Sth day of June 1871, H. E. Lindsey, a Justice of the Peace in Yuma county, held one Isaac Lyons to answer on @ charge of an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder, in the sum of S1,5OO. Three citizens, whose names are not material herein, each justified on the bond in tEe sum of $500. On the 30th day of October, a summons for four witnesses to appear, November 6, in this case before the Grand Jury, was issued by the Clerk of the Court, which was duly served, and so return ed by Deputy Sheriff Alexander on the Sd of November. After the then Acting District Attorney (RowelD for Yuma county, procured the ac- cused man Lyons note for $45O, and before the case was brought to the notice of the Grand Jury, Judge Reavis, according to his own clerks certificate under seal, caused an order of Court to be made as follows:
 Territory of Arizona against l. Lyons. It appearing to the Court from the acknowledgment in writing in this case filed, that Dionicio Core la, the prosecuting witness herein, has received tull satisfaction for the injury received, and is not desirous to further prosecute this case and it seem- ing to me to be a proper case for such settlement, it is hereby ordered that all proceedings herein be stayed upon part of the prosecution, and that upon payment of costs, the defendant, l. Lyons, be discharged.
 ISLAM REAvIs, Judge. This order has A. CO1rt filing. dated November 10, 1871.
 The readers careful attention is asked not only to the fact that before the defendant Lyons was discharged, he gave his note to District Attorney Rowell, whose official movements seem to have been quite generally seconded by Reavis, but also to the fact that Dionicio Corella is ignorant of the English language, and that in his affidavit he swears that he is ignorant of criminal law. Here are all the important points, for the present pur- pose. in MT. Corella's sworn state ment:
 The defendant Lyons was accused of and did wound and otherwise maltreat de- ponent by shooting him with a pistol. l Mr. ROweIl informed me that the matter relating to this crime could be cOmprO- | missed for four hundred and fifty dollars of which, he said, I would receive S200. | One hundred and fifty was to be paid for |
