TUESDAY, APRIL ?

When the [. : grand was empsr- neled this afternoon Attorney W B Clesry on behalf oi Magon, ViIlereal and Rivers the alleged evolution ists, challenged The entire jury on the ground that the yenire was not drawn according JC law The same chal- lenge was made by Attorney outter on the kddleman case. The challenge was den.ed and the jury ordered sworn. When the iurymen were examined ss to their qualifications Attorney Clesry asked one juror fl he would follow the U. :. attorney or his own judgmeu ment when voting on bill IT jury room. The U. :. attorney promptly objected to such method of ascertain ing qualification of jurors and the ob- lection was sustained. Ben Cook was .he only juror excused from consider ing the case against Nsgon et al.
 The ' : attorney asked that A. c Campbell of the department Of justice. Washington, be permitted in the grand jury room during the consideration of cases against Eddlemsu and Nolan. winch was granted. NIT Cleary ob jected to any assistant [ : attorney being present in the grand jury room and the objection was overruled. From present indications t "caid appear that streLa0us legal hgh, is to be made on every point in the cases o! the sllegei revolutionists.
 Douglas Gray was appointed fore man of the gSsnd jury, which retired about 3 30 p. m. to take up the work before them.

Arizona's Record
 Remains SpotIess

If the investigation of the grand jury had developed that there had been bribery or at tempted bribery in the legis- lature, all right minded citi- zens while deploring the crime would have welcomed the dis closure 'fBut the samet citl- zens more warmly welcome the disclosure that if there was a crime an exhaustive search by the grand jury has been unable to come upon the slightest sign oft.
 Thus we are saved from a territorial disgrace, fr o m which Arizona has been rec markably free during a time when half the legislatures oI the country have been eharg- ed with corruption --PhoeniS Republican.

Here is the first criticism of Coy. Sloan even before he is inducted into office fir O m which it would appear that the Phoenix Democrat In- tends 10 get in early and often on the new executive The Democrat harshly observes as tollows:-
 When Governors kitbey and Brodie assumed the office of governor they walked down to the capitol, hung their hats on a nail, kicked out the office cat (and the territorial of ticialsl and called for their salaries without any ostenta- uous display. Governor Sloan, it seems has more exalted ideas. He is no long CT common clay and must have an inauguration and an induction into office with red ribbons and brass band tied around 1t. All of which in- dicates that Judge Sloan is 90 ing to have an aristrOcratic administration, and is going to ornament 1t with flowers pop corn and pink lemonade.
