Arizona republican., 1895-04-05

Mr.. Daggs proposed to become part
ner with the defendant in the enter
prise of shipping Mexican oranges to
Chicago. The territory agreed to admit
the letter, but proposed to prove that
Col. Christy, of the Valley bank,
would have as likely become partner
in the orange deal. The letter was
then Withdrawn by the defense which
introduced another letter.
The territory also agreed to admit
this, but said it would make another
inspection of the accounts of the COM
mission house necessary.
1t was then that Col. Fitch referred
to his intended visit of Pope Leo x.
Said be: "If this letter involves an
other examination of those books
I'll withdraw it. The case would be-
come interminable and we would all be
likely to spend the rest of our natural
lives in the investigation OF it. l don't
know whether the territory really
wants to take up those books again but
to lay down."
"If you had always known that
colonel" said Mr.. Millay, you'd have
been worth good many more thousand
dollars now." This letter was with
drawn and the defense announced that
its case was closed.
The territory then introduced letter
from the defendant to P. P. Daggs by
which it was intended to show that
the partnership of Mr.. Daggs was dis
avowed by the writer. Humphreys,
the man who sold the commission firm
a carload OF hay, and Geo. Marks, the
man who helped him put it in the car,
were next examined. Their evidence
was intended to prove that P. P. Daggs'
connection with the deal was only in
cidental. A. j. Daggs, the prosecuting
witness, again took the stand in rebut-
tai of certain testimony introduced by
Mrs. Goodman. Mr.. Millay gallantly
apologized for this intended attack up
on her veraclty.
go ahead" said Col. Fitch; "she's
as we'll able to take care of herself and
you, too, as any woman l know Of"
P. P. Daggs was aiterward re-exam-
ined in reference to statement made
by Mrs. Goodman in ,corroboration OF
testimony by her husband that the wit
ness on giving them a certain sum OF
money told them that the money had
had been stolen from the broken Bank
of Tempe.
"Did you tell her that? asked the
district attorney.
IL did not" replied the witness.
Gas matter of fact was that money
stolen from the Bank of Temper"
asked Mr.. Milav.
81 object" cried Col. Fitch in mock
defense OF the witness and turning to
Mr.. Millay, you're nice district
attorney you'll try TO get man to in
crimlnate himself go that you may
cause an indictment to be found against
him." After the noise of laughter
had subsidized Mr.. Daggs said the money
had not been stolen.
R. E. Daggs who was president of
the bank at the time of its failure
and who, holding power OF at
torney from A. J. Daggs had appointed
Goodman to collect the rents which it
was charged he had EN- bezzied, was the
next and last witness in rebuttal. His
testimony bore upon the affairs of the
bank and Goodman's relation to it as a
customer all of which was intended
to show that he was an unfavored GUS
toner and that whatever temporary re-
lations he may have sustained toward
P. P. Daggs he had sustained none to-
ward A. J. Daggs, to whom he had
failed to turn over 1921 collected from
tenants.
The evidence was now all in and the
arguments went over until after the
hearing of the testimony in the other
em bezzlement case.
