 DEAR SIR:-Iti is not often that l asked the privilege of small space in the columns of Q newspaper, knowing from experience that correspondence of other than local matter Is not escbewed by newspapers, but there are times when truths cannot reach the public in any other manner, and result in the same good as through the columns of 8 reliable paper
 Truths which concern the general public I believe should be made pub lie, and it is only under this consider ation and in justice to good citizens whom know are being grossly slan- dered. that 1 am constrained to ask for little corner in your journal. l detire to show to the people of Arizo- ma the character of man (D who has been slandering number of good cit izens and officers of our territory Like the snake of the fable, he was picked up out of the mire and befriend- ed, and in return s5ung those who be- friended. I refer, so as to make no mistake, to a fellow known as Ned Boyle.
 l will go back thirty years, to the palmy days of Sacramento, where this Iscariot first became known to me and where he broke up the union of one of the happiest families on the coast by lying and willfull misrepresentations, by interfering in family matters in which he could have no interest or busi- ness, and in family that was trying to raise him out of the slough in which he had fallen.
 Again I saw this missing link in Virginia City, Nevada, where he was in the employ of two noted sporting men, Johnny Grimes and Bill Gibson, and where he had worked into their confidence sufficiently to have access to their safe. Money was missed and when Messrs. Grimes and Gibson sif- ted the matter down, this man boil was discharged.
 From Virginia City this mass of cor ruption went to Tombstone where his associates were of the character of Erp Bros, Clanton Bros, and Lowery boys. A mere "good evening" from his pals to stage driver was sufficient to cause the ''box" to tumble and be rifed of it's contents. Tombstone got hot for him and he struck out for pas lures new, landing in Tucson, where his course Is well known in the Paul Shaw case as too low to be character ized as the doings of man. Being picked up out of the gutter by Paul, warmed and fed, clothed and treated he turns and stings his saviour.
 I had the misfortune of seeing this man again, this time in the Territorial prison, at Yuma. But even here his natural disposition of dishonest mea- ness again asserted itself, and by his prying manner and vicious desire to and lie about somebody he again came to grief and he was DIsCHAR- GED FOR GROSS MISCONDUCT from the position which he occupied, and has again gone to Tucson to await another sherif's election. This individual, if he can be called such, is the one who has been circulating reports slandering good citizens and society in general As to his previous character, since the the days of '49, we would respectfully refer the people to Detectives Len Harris and Capt. Deal.
 As for myself, 1 am resposible for all of the above, the editor has my name and is authorized to give it to any interested party. And further, if any person deslres to know why this fellow was discharged from his position as guard at the prison they can probably ascertain by apply ing to the proper official.
