Murder no Crime in Graham

Jury by Judge sheldon.
Tucson, A. T. Nov. l9.--The Stars
special from Solomonvlle, says; The
first session of court in Graham county
is being held by Judge Sheldon. Sew
eral criminals for murder have been ac-
quilted. The case of Girman Chavez, on
two indictments for murder have Just
been tried. One indictment charged
him with numbering Inez Frecas the
other with numbering his wife. Both
murders were committed at the same
time, in the house of defendant and in
the presence of two little children of the
accused The first verdict was man.
slaughter. The indictment for killing
the wife was next tried and resulted in a
similar verdict. This was too much for
Judge Sheldon's sense of justice and he |
delivered to the jury the following:
"Gentlemen of the jury, your labors in |
this case, with your verdict are |
closed, but the Court has further duty |
to perform which it cannot avoid. 1t is |
duty which the Court owes not only to |
itself, but to the people of this county. |
While the merits OF this case were un. |
der consideration the Court could ex-
press no opinion upon the evidence, but |
now that it is at liberty to speak, and |
while 1t is an unpleasant task, it never
theless becomes the plain and sacred |
duty of the Court to express in clear |
anu SllCll us lhplOuhd astOhiohH
ment at the rendition of such n verdict; |
a verdict so utterly at variance with all
the facts in the case and the laws which |
govern them. Such verdicts, gentle |
men, are mocSery Of law and a
travesty upon Justice. and render trials |
by jury farce. By such verdict,
gentlemen, you assume the responsibility |
for the terrible condition of affairs which |
exists to-day in Graham county. making |
it, as it is, a foul blot upon the map OF /
Arizona, and disgrace to the civiliza-
ton OF the age. You, by this verdict,
have deprived every man of his c onstitu-
tional right of protection. You have |
sanctioned disorder and welcomed |
anarchy, and were il not for the press OF |
business before the Court and the great |
expense which would be incurred by the |
empanelling of a new jury, would I'M.
mediately dismiss you from the further |
consideration of any matters before the
Court Gentlemen OF the jury, you are
discharged, and | only regret that can.
not discharge you for the term"
There is great excitement here among |
the roughs on account of Judge Sheldou's
rebube and some threaten violence.
