 JURY Accused of Attempting To Bribe A
 Witness Sequel of Sensational Scene at Jerome
 Jail
(From Saturdays Daily.)


 The case of the territory against John Doran, who was arrested at Jerome on Monday night last on the charge of bribng Jesse Morley, n witness in what is known as the Chris Jackson case, came up for hearing in the jus ticc court here yesterday afternoon, and occupied the attention of the court for over two hours.
 Several witnesses for the prosecution were examined but no evidence of n damaging character was presented out. side of the facts as stated in the Jour nalMiner of Thursday morning.
 Doran took the stand in his own de. fcnsc, and in a dramatic manner rccit- cd the many incidents and circum. stances which led to his sensational ar. rest, which was in part corroborated by the two other witnesses who appear. cd in his behalf.
 He testified in part as follows: After hc heard that Jesse Morley was in jail on the charge of forgery he, in com pany with two other men, went to the jail, and asked Morley what he was m jail for, and if hc did not have any friends who would help him get out, to which Morley replied that he used to have some friends. hut that they all went back on him since he got into this scrapc. He then asked Morley how much it would take to get him out, to which the reply was $60. Wit. ress then asked Morley what was the reason he testified against Clark and Carter before the last grand jury, to which Morley replied "You can't blame me. l got paid $500 and n ticket to Prescott for doing it."
 The next question asked Morley was who the parties were who bribcd him, to which he replied "l can't tell you, but there were three men inter csted in it, and believe Fred flaw. kins had something to do with it. Morley then asked witness to try to help him out, and witness said he would see about it. Doran said that he then left, and later returned, when he said that Morley told him that Officer King had been there since he left, and that King told him to have nothing to do with these fellows, meaning Doran and bis companions, that they were lot of agitators. Doran then left again. and later returned, when he was placed un. der arrest by Officer King. He fur. thcr testified that he never made m offer to Morley to pay his fine, and give him money to leave the country, as had been testified to by witnesses for the prosecution.
 The evidence of Jesse Morley. wbo ia m the county jail on forgery charge, being held to await the action of the next grand jury, was to great exten, corroborated by Officer Charles Kinp. and justice of the peace St. James,
 He said in part: "Doran called at | the branch jail in Jerome about seven | o'clock in the evening of February i ana asked mo if he would pay my fine ana got mo out of jail if l would leave | the country, and never come bnck again' When he got back he said that 'he money was raised to get me out and that he would give me money to eet out of the country He had mn more than said these words when Of. heer King came along and arrested hin' Two other men came later. and 'oid me that they would make if hot TOT me 1T testified against Doran.
