.HEALY CHARGE FALLS FLAT Al
 SECOND TRIAL
Tables Are Turned on Park CT Newspaper Man Who Will Be Prosecuted for A. legged Perjury,

James J. Healy. the vitriolic jour |, nalist. formerly of Parker, has again lost out in the courts of the Territory After running around several months after the grand jury i of Yuma county refused to entertain l his grievances, he took another turn at justice before Judge Short, at Bouse. Wednesday, and was given the worst rebuke yet administered to him. again losing his case.
 The affairs has attracted notoriety all over the country The basis of Healys troubles were due to a committee of citizens of Parker for cibly taking him out of that town, on the evening of April 1st, last and ordering him to leave the country for the publication of an article re flecting on the character of cer- tain woman in that city.
 In the trial. Wednesday. at Bouse. it was clearly and conclusively shown that Healy confessed openly | to the party of men that ran him out of Parker, that the article pub
 lished in his paper, the Parker Her | aid, reflecting on one of the most estimable ladies in the place, was | false. scandalous and sucrrilous, and
 that he abjectly and openly begged
 for an opportunity to retract it in
 the next issue. In addition to this I confession, he signed an order, which was produced at the trial, request ! ing the postmaster of Parker not to 1 send that particular issue containing rthe yillianous article through the
 mails, the issue having already been
 sent to the postoffice. After the re-
 ceipt of this reuest from Healy. the postmaster communicated by wire with postal authorities at Wash
 ington, when the department or
 dered the papers to go as addressed.
 even if the article published was libel
 ous, and not containing such mat
 ter that would exclude it from going
 through the mails.
 It was proven in the trial that
 six men among the accused, whom Hesly testified positively were of those who beat and kicked him on the night of April 1st, were not present at the time and took no
 part whatever in the demonstration
 against him. It was also proven that
 Healy was not injured as he claims
 he was, and bore no marks of vio. , lence whatever.
 Assistant District Attorney Frank Baxter. who represented the prose . cution, admitted that the Territory , had no case. and requested Judge , L. E. Short of Bouse, before whom , , the trial was called, to dismiss the l action. This was done after one of
 the most strenuous trials ever had ] in that county.
 ? In the consideration of this case Healy practically offered no cor ! roborative evidence in his own be D half, while on the side of the de E fense. from the beginning to the end of the trial, the evidence of the
 defense was clear and concise at all II times. Thirty-two residents of Par ker were on trial, among whom were
 some of the most prominent and in - fuential residents of Western Ari , zona, being MT. Dunn, the banker Dr. Whitmarsh, a leading physician . Thomas brennan, a merchant, Post
 master Reany, Assistant Postmastei , Griffith, Ivan Neill, a deputy sher I. if, Justice of the Peace Graves, Ton .. Schultz and John Roberts, beside i. over a score of other leading citi n zens and taxpayers. Practical, f. every resident of the several hundred "a fin Parker was involved directly o 70 indirectly, in the proceedings. ant n when the verdict was announced b, e Judge Short, a great demonstration
 took place in the court room an, e on the outside at Bouse. Later, 2 1T Parker. twenty-five miles distant
 the ending of th trial evoked a pub
 lie demonstration, ending with
 publication.
