TWO YAVAPAI CASES
 REVERSED BY COURT
(rrom Wednesdays Daily)

tlrom Wednesdays Daily)
 Monday the supreme court of Ari- zona reversed the decisions of Judge Doe in the following cases: State vs. Victor Gomez, and State vs. Dowdy and Gibson. both being criminal cases.
 In the first case. Victor Gomez. a sheep-herdcr, was indicted by the grand jury of Yavapai county of an assault with q deadly weapon on J. F.. Mahurin. of Jerome Junction.
 Al the trial of the case before Judge Doe the evidence showed that Gomez cooked and pointed re- volver at Mahurin, and held the gun on him. and while the gun was pointed towards Mahurin, Gomez backed Mahurin around for con siderable distance, at the same time saying in Spanish "Cudado." "Cui- dado," Uook out. look ouD. Mrs. Mahurin was present and almost tainted from fright
 At the close of the testimony for the prosecution, Judge Doc instruct ed the jury in their seats to return a verdict of not guilty. holding that the evidence was insufficient sto put the defense before the jury. II. D. Ross. district attorney. and P. w. O'Sullivan, then assistant district attorney, appealed from Judge Does ruling on questions of law, with the result that the supreme court re- vcrsed Judge Doe.
 In the Dowdy and Gibson case, these men were indicted for the crime of grand larceny It was ai- legged that they had broken into the house of one Pete Caivi at Octave and had stolen over Sl0O0 dollars in cash. Al the close of the evil dcnce for the prosecution, Judge Doe instructed the jury to render n verdict for the defendants, on the ground that the prosecution had failed to prove criminal intent" on the part of the defendants in taking the money.
 The district attorneys office again appealed from the courts decision on questions of law, with the result that the supreme court again re- versed Judge Doe. holding that the question of intent was for the jury and not for the court. and that the trial judge had no right ,o rake the case from the jury by peremptory instruction.
 The decisions in these cases arc important as it is the first time that the questions involved have been passed on by the supreme court of Arizona The decision in the Gomez case will be severe blow to gun men. because it holds that when a man points a gun at another and cocks it and intimidates him, it Is not incumbent on the man assaulted to prove that the gun was loaded, and that the question of intent is for the jury and not for the court 10 decide. This decision will have far-reaching results. and will tend 10 discourage the pointing of guns loaded or unloaded at other per. sons. The decision in the Dowdy and Gibson case is important in this, that courts hereafter may not arbitrarily decide the question as to criminal intent. bu, must leave ,ha. l nlo aIin.A l. al. i.....
