low as District Attorney of San
ia Cruz County, Arizona.
In the District Court of the First
Judicial District of Territory of Ari-
iona, in and for the County of Santa
Cruz, the four tenth day of July A,
D., 1899.
w. P. Harlow, District Attorney of
Santa Cruz County, Arizona Terrific
ry, is accused by the Grand Jury of
the said Santa Cruz County of wilful
misconduct in Office, committed as
follows:
That the said W. P. Harlow, as Dis-
trict Attorney of said Santa Cruz
county, on or about the sixth day of
July, 1899, and before the finding of
this accusation, did, in the Town of
Nogales, County of Santa Cruz, Ari-
IONA Territory, unlawfully and wilful-
ly advise, instruct and direct, one j.
S. Taylor, who then and there was a
duly elected and qualified Justice of
the Peace of Precinct Number One in
said Santa Cruz County, to dismiss a
certain criminal charge and complaint
then and there before said J. S. Taylor,
as such Justice of the Peace, pending
against one Allen I. Bird, wherein
said Allen L. Bird was charged with a
misdemeanor, towit, with unlawfully
carving a concealed weapon, in said
Precinct Number One; that at said
time said w. Z. Harlow knew that
said Bird was guilty of said offense
that nevertheless. when the said cause
against the said Bird was called for
trial before said Justice of the Peace,
towit, on the sixth day of July, 1899,
the said Bird having thereto pleaded
not guilty to said criminal char ge, the
said w. P. Harlow, as District Attor-
ney as aforesaid, wilfully, knowingly
and in violation of his oath of office
and of his duty as such District At
torney, did direct and instruct said
Justice of the Peace to dismiss said
criminal complaint and cause against
said Allen L. Bird, and he, the said
w. P Harlow, did then and there
publicly state to said Justice of the
Peace, as the grounds for his said re-
quest, that said Bird was justified in
carrying such concealed weapon and
had carried the same on the advice of
him the said w. P. Harlow; that at
said time said w. p. Harlow we'll knew
the fact to be that said Bird was not
peace officer of any precinct, District
or County in the Territory of Arizona,
and had no right whatsoever to carry
u concealed weapon; that the said
Justice of the Peace did then and
there, towit, on or about the sixth day
of July, 1899, and before the inding
of this accusation, and as requested
by said w. P. Harlow, dismiss said
criminal complaint and criminal charge
against said Allen T. Bird and said
Bird has gone forth, UNPUBLISHED for
his said offense.
Wherefore said Grand Jury does &C
cuse sail w. p. Harlow of wilful mis-
conduct in Office, towit, in this office of
District Attorney of said Santa Cruz
County, contrary to the statutes in
such cases made and provided and
against the peace and dignity of the
Territory of Arizona
