 Editor Journal Miner, Prescott, Ariz. Dear Sir: l have mailed you, under separate cover, n copy of the Rock Island, Ill., News, which you will nos ticc has q marked item regarding 'he prosecution of me by parties connected with the Cypress Gold and Copper Min ing company. I have had the satifac' ton of defeating these people, at every turn, and it is just what said would be done at the start, and shall start proceedings to recover at once and VIII prosecute the matter to the fullest oN' tent.
 | In the discussion of the indictment II | m ecution claimed to have no dehnite charge against me and they could not elect on any account with any degree of intelligence SO that they could hope to prove me guilty of any chare" they had trumpcd up against me.
 The court required them to elect some charge and they could not do So' and the result was inc qunshing of Inc indictment and the ease thrown out on ifs merits.
 This whole matter. from start io fin ish has been one of maliciou, prosccu. ton and an attempt to ruin me iinan' cially and prevent me from doing husI' ness in Yavapai county and elsewhere
 l have been vindicated in this part of the country in every charge that this gang was able to trump uP against m".
 Yours v,ry tuly,
 II. \. SETTLE.
 The Rock Island News. speaking of the ease. says in part:
 Defendant. Suttlc. was arrested m Prescott, Aril.. where the company is incorporated and doing business. but the grand jury there ignored inc af fair. He was then arrested in Peoria, IT,, and again inc grand jury failed to return an indictment, and now Judge Gcsi has seen iit to quash the action brought against him in Rock Island.
 Mr. Suttlc. when interviewed by . News reporter. said
 "I am innocent, of every charge irumpcd up against me. l have always conducted my business affairs in n legitimate manner. and consider my character in every way above rcproach, and will leave it to people who have known me for years. The ease here has been purely malicious prosecution by parties here who have threatened to ruin me financially and otherwise.
 "Thcy charge me with obtaining Sli,O ,O0O of their money by a confidence game. If doing legitimate business is n confidence game. 1 would say every business firm and real estate man in Rock Island is subject to the same charge. l would also like to see ih. color of the man 's hair that could per. pc'raic confidence game upon my nc. cusers. as they are past masters in the mining investment business, and have been for years. am sure that if the facts had been presented ,o the states attorney and grand jury of Rock Island county, that they would have given the matter the same treat. mcnt as the states attorneys of Ari. zona and Peoria counties, and would never have indicted me As 10 Harry l.. Doolcy having married n Miss Nor. ton in Arizona or California, ns re. ported recently by newspapers, have no personal knowledge beyond the fact that Mir. Norton, the father of the girl claimed that Doolcy had married his daughter and that Doolcy had sc. cured divorce from his wife in Rock Island. Such matters are of m inter. est to me whatever"
