last evening some interesting facts developed that may lead to criminal actions. According to the facts. as sworn 10 on the stand by the de. fendants, and the papers in the case. on or about the Sth day Of Noyem Der, 1908. the complainant, H. T Crosby, swOre out a complaint against the defendants in the jus tice court at Douglas; in these com plaints Eldridge was charged with disturbing the peace. and Johnson with an assault with a deadly weapon The defendants were arrested and the case set for trial on November g Of that year On that date the cases were to be dismissed. according to the testimony of the defendants upon the payment of S2OO to the , plaintiff, and the records of the ' justice court show that the case against E,d.ige was dismissed ana | that Johnson was allowed to plead ! guilty to simple assault On that ! date Cosby was paid S5O in cash and l given a note signed by the two de- | fendants for the balance of Sl50. The | note was not paid. and Cosby brought
 
 amount of the note and interest. and ! in January. 1911. was awarded judg ] ment in the justice court, and an aP | peal was taken by the defendants ! The answer of the defendants states that the only reason the note was 1 given was for the purpose of having 1 the felony case dismissed, and fol l the compromising of the felony. When | the defendants were on the stand | yesterday afternoon, they were eau. ! toned by Judge Sutter that any statement that they might make on the witness stand under oath might be used againt them in case a crimin- al action was brought against them for compromising the felony After the case had been concluded. Judge Sutter took the cases under advise ment notifying the parties that he intended to consult with the county attorney as to the adyisability O; investigating the criminal circum- stances Of the case, and that he would render his decision later
 The plaintiff in the action stated that the money was to reimburse him for the humiliation that he had been put tO. and was not for the purpose | of having the criminal charges dis missed. All the parties are residents of the vicinity Of Apacha. What dis position will te made Of the case will be watched for with interest for it is very seldom that such a case ever arises in the courts. The an swer to the complaint, admitting the 1 compromising of the felony, is veTi- ad laf Enf nf h1 defendants Eldridge and Johnson.

The case will be de cided by Judge SutteT on April To-
