 Session.

 for Assault.
The District Attorney Causes the Arrest of a Woman Charged
 With Perjury.

The case of the territory against Eulalio Madueno for an assault com mitted in January of 1894, was yester- day submitted to the jury sitting on the case Ten witnesses were exam ined, but not one had any distinct re- membrance of the defendant hitting old man Gonzales over the head with beer bottle. It was a hard fought case both the prosecution and defense mak- ing elouuent speeches. MessrS. Street and Frazier conducted the defense in what at first looked like losing case. The jury was out ten minutes and on the second ballot a verdict of not guilty was arrived at. As the verdict of the jury was made known to the old mother of the accused. she arose with all Spanish grace and enthusi- asm, and seizing Attorney Frazier by the coat imprinted upon his cheek grateful acknowledgement of his ser vices.
 The case of Charles Whitfield for aggravated assault was next called. About two months ago Whitfield was conversing with a woman named Ma ria Wilkins in front of his barber shop on First avenue when he was ap- preached by Algernon Dove, Babe) who made some remarks. Whitfield picked up a heavy stool and hit Babe over the arm, breaking it at the wrist.
 From the evidence in the case the district attorney advised that the charge be lessened to battery and the court so instructed the jury.
 A sensation was sprung in the testi- mony of the woman, Maria Wilkins She was one of the strongest witnesses for the prosecution, but when placed on the stand her testimony was di- rectly in favor of the accused. The district attorney jumped to his feet and ordered that the sheriff place her un- der arrest for perjury, stating that her evidence was at variance with what she told to the grand jury. She was taken in charge by the sheriff.
 The case was very ably defended by Attorney Willis, who made a srong plea for his client. After being out twenty minutes the jury returned and the foreman reported that they could cant agree?'' said his honor. "This will never do, gentlemen, we cannot afford to burden the taxpayers with a 0LltiAl OINOC llfNC k4i4o. Lou 11dy 1OIlI C to the jury room." They retired and shortly made their reappearance with a verdict of battery and recommended leniency.
 Tomas Galvano, a one-Iegged Mexi- can, was placed on trial for burglary. He entered a house on Grand avenue a few weeks ago and sto!e a shawl. He was met by the lady of the house as he was leaving the premises. He was shortly afterward arrested and bound over. The evidence in the case was directly against him. His attor- ney submitted the case without argu- ment. The jury was cut but minute and returned with a verdict of burg lary in the second degree. He will be sentenced today.
 Gregorio Armenia, charged with grand larceny, was the next case called. The defendant was accused of stealing a horse at Buckeye some time ago and riding the same to Mesa City, where he was arrested. The defense attempted to establish that the pris- oner had purchased the animal for the sum of $10 and that the person who sold him the horse was the actual thief. The jury thought differently and brought in verdict of guilty as charged in the indictment.
