Indictments Against Both Brothers for
 Aggravated Assault
The Power Girls the Victims Told to the Grand Jury the Story Related by the Republican
 Yesterday Morning

on charges of aggravated assault up- on Esther and Marie Power was print 1 ed at length by The Republican yes | terday morning. Within less than twenty-foUr hours after the commis- sion of the alleged offense, indictments were found against both of the broth CTS and their bond was fixed at $1.5G0 each.
 Their cases were brought directly to the grand jury instead of taking their courses through the court of a committing magistrate. The brothers were yesterday morning taken before Justice Johnstone, out of whose court the warrants were issued. They were arraigned and their preliminary ex- animation was set for today. Their bonds were fixed at $1,50O in each case.
 No attempt had been made by either of them to furnish bond on account of the lateness of the hour when the ar rests were made, but in the morning they executed bonds signed by c. A. Bower A. J. Dobyns, c. H. Davis and Lloyd B. Christy.
 The grand jury took up the matter immediately on assembling in the af- | ternoon. The jury had before them both of the Power sisters, who relat- ed the story told by The Republican yesterday morning, and some things which can not be told by any newspa- per which patronizes the United States post office department. The relation. though, had something to do with the experience which the younger of the sisters had with R. E. Daggs a week before, while she was working for the firm with which he is connected.
 The indictments were returned along with several others, about 2 o'clock, but they were not made pub lie until 4. The defendants were then brought into court. They were accom- panied by two of their bondsmen, Messrs. Christy and Bower. The bond was fixed and their arraignment was set for this morning.
 Both of the brothers spoke freely Of their trouble and reiterated the state ment which A. J. Daggs mad made the night before to a reporter for The Re publican. They said that it was a case of blackmail; that the younger of the two girls did not call at their office for the purpose of collecting $2 still due her for work, as she had alleged, but to collect for a much larger sum under the following agreement, which she signed last Saturday, this agree ment being in possession of R. E. Daggs, the party of the second part. The existence of the agreement had been mentioned by A. J. Daggs in statement on Monday night:
 october IS, 1905.
 Received of R. E. Daggs the sum of $25. part payment on an agreement of settlement of $60, of which I am to receive the balance Saturday evening. and I hereby agree that said settle ment is in full for hugging and kissing me on the evening of october IT. 1905, at the office of said Daggs in room :, MOnihOn building, and I hereby state that said Daggs took no further liberty with me. and that I will make no fur their claim on said Daggs for said ac- tion. ESTHER POWER
 'I agree that the above statement is true"
 It was rumored that an indictment charging a more serious crime would probably be returned against R. E. Daggs on testimony which was given by Esther Power yesterday, but those in authority say that they know nOth- ing of any intention to return any Oth- CT indictment in the case.
 Among those indicted yesterday were Vicente Romero and Juan Bra va, both charged with rape; William Bryant, for the embezzlement Of a horse belonging to J. D. Houck; E. B. Brown, grand larceny; Gabriel Molino for rape; Jose Ramirez, burglary, and William Ellwander for forgery. Ell wander is the man who stole two of Grant Bros pay checks from George Thorton and had one of them cashed by Etter Bros. at Wickenburg, signing the name of ThortOn on the back of it. Tnorton, the prosecuting witness, had been regularly subpoenaed, but did not appear until yesterday. a bench warrant having been issued for him. He was brought into count and asked why he had not obeyed the summons. After a little hesitation he said to the court: 'Tn be honest with you; l started all right and got as far as Wickenburg; then l got drunk" His entire frankness in the matter no doubt did him a great deal of good. as no punishment was visited upon him.
 Juan Moyar, who had been indicted the day before entered a plea of not guilty of burglary. Bryant pleaded guilty to embezzlement, and will be sentenced tomorrow. Yukanini pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon and he, too, will be sentenced tomor- TOW.
 In the case of Orlando Douglas for the murder of Pedro Benitas a demur- Ter was submitted and Overruled, and the trial was set for November 1S. Pedro Surita. for the murder of Brau- lio Medinas, will be tried on Novem- Der To- Mule an Indian charged with grand larceny was dismissed.
 In the case of Al Fulwiler held for robbery, the grand jury failed to find a bill While no criminal business was in progress in the court room the trial of the case of J. w. Crenshaw, administrator, against Julia A. Lount, administratrix went on.
