 have prevented them from pproachingJ Judge
 French on subject in any way pertaining
 to or connected with the injunction suit, or
 al all on the very I sht of the day on which
 they had argued tn. case for the plaintiff.
 Tool, in said cause before the self same
 Judge, and pending the Judges decision.
 And right here, let me state as | matter ot
 fact (which can be proved fl the gentlemen
 desire lt that at the time the said Star
 reporter stepped m upon this depu,ation
 they were talking about statement charg
 eel to have been made on the street by Judge
 French respecting MT. Farley's man
 agement of the said injunction suit.
 l can also prove, and will at the proper
 time and place, that John Wasson al the
 time the Star reporter appeared in the said
 chamber of Judge French commenced to
 speak to the Judge respecting NIT. Farley's
 conduct of the said suit. and since this Was
 son Is so apt at drawing conclusions as to
 what meant by my dispatch, propose to
 state what appears "a me to have been Was
 sons object and intention in calling upon
 Judge French, at the time and place aforc-
 mentioned. In plain words. l think John
 Wasson, editor of the Citizen and Surveyor
 General. would have attempted to browbeat
 Judge French trelativc to this injunction
 caSel had it not been for the timely arrival
 and interference of the Star man. MT
 Wa>son essays to be regarie aS d dignihed
 and respected journalist, but does not hesi-
 tate to use the words liar, base liar especial
 ly when his little put up jobs and nefarious
 practices are about to be expoSed). Yet in
 his article so adroitly written. he failed to
 show that I had lied, for he admits that he
 and five others were in the chamber of Judge French at the time stated in the dis patch, but has cautiously refrained from tell ing he object of the visit at such an in- suspicious time. IL no wrong was intended why not let the whole affair come before the puUlici Anything that concerns five gen tlemen citizens of this Territory. and the ! person called John WasSon. and the Chief Justice of the Territory, that requires such l ha>ty and untimely interviews, need not be ! kept secret. Now. since l have shown bv | perfect evidence that do not lie as charged !. by John WaSson in his little paper, it mat ! ters but little to me, what the lying con ] temptable, inconsistent, corrupt. cowardlv l and 'carpet-bag puppy Wasson may publish ! about me in his false. libeous, unreliable | and black mailing sheet But I much re gret that the Hon. c. w French. Chief Jus ! tlce of this Territory, who from his conduct l on and off the bench, since his advent among Us, has proven himself to be an able and . careful lawyer, just Judge and correct citi- . Zen, should allow an article over his sigma ture to appear in newspaper brnil And . l here humhly suggest that the signature of . a Judge at law appear, to better advant- l age under decision or opinion of hi, than under a personal in n newspaper. feel . sure there k not single man in this Terri tory, or any where else. that can s1v truth fully that my dispatch either bv direct eX- preston ar by the faintcst implication or attached any blame or rcpruach to ud9e French respecting the said invasion or visit by the six" but it is the old trick nt that sneaking cur, John Wasson. of at tempting to drive others and innocent parties into hlS fights, hoping thereby to miSlead lust public indignation, and shield him self even though lt may ruin another. And re peat that John WaSSon editor of the Citizen and Surveyor General of Arizona Territory. Is contemptble, corrupt. old puppy and professional hirrling and mercenary liar of the most unmitigate and reckless kind, lnd Is too cowarily to come out like d man. lace to face. MT WasSpn knew and knows now that the sender of the dispatch Tn ques- ton was not two hundred" miles away from him, and that the sender was Briggs Goodrich, man toward whom he has long entertained an enmity, and more than once haS thiS person WasSOn, through his paper. exhibited that feeling of enmity towards Briggs Goodrich by abusing him in the said paper. Instead of coming forward and. man 10 man. demanding redress for his griev- ances, if he had any.
