owFLAKE. ARIZONA. SATURDAY, APRIL 49, 1914.
Judge Sapp Explains

entered various orders in the
cause but only at the request of
Judge Perkins, of Flagstaff.
How such an order can be legal
ly made is not entirely clear to
the average mind. We conclude
that's some new judicial stunt"
not sufficiently cooked as yet for
consumption by the public. How
ever, Immediately after discharg-
ing Mr.. Larson as attorney for
the minor heir and fixing his fee,
Judge Perkins is known to have
stood aside and Judge Sapp
mounted the bench making a
further order allowing fees, pay
able out of the estate, to E. S.
Clark and G.. H. Jordan as sue
ceeding counsel to the admins
traitor Sapp had already served.
If there has been any disqual-
flying of Judge Sapp in other
similar cases, that he formerly
served as an attorney, the record
does not disclose the fact, but
that the dignity of the court may
be preserved we hope it will be
diSenterred.
1t is without precedent in the
history of Jurisprudence that a
Judge resorted to the news
papers to uphold the dignity of
his court. But Judge Sapp hav-
ing admitted entering orders by
proxy in the Ghuey estate, we
conclude his newspaper stunt is
also by proxy, and represents
only the views of a few political
jackals at present serving as his
henchmen.

PIC VI ANdVdJO Guilty puOlIollOu
in the Holbrook News and Wins
low Mail Judge Sapp rushes to
the rescue of the scribe for the
Hookworm editor of the Mail in
last endeavor to make white
wash stick to the Judges coat of
many colors and clean it of stains
of commercialization of official
power.
AS a prelude to his epistle of
disconnected jargon in an expos
tulation of his personal and judi
cial righteousness, the Judge
AYERS that through the columns
of the Snowflake Herald, Messrs.
R. c.. Smith, Thorwald Larson,
Esq.,, and William Wooster still
continue to make personal and
political attacks upon me-" in
sinuating that the attacks are
personal and not based on official
records. Judge Sapp we'll knows
that Messrs. Larson and WOoS-
ter are not in any way connected
with the HERALD and have not
contributed anything to its at
tacks on his official record, but to
detract from the issue raised he
pleads personal abuse and infers
that the articles are written
through prejudice and of mali
cious intents.
After a column and a half of
rambling misstatements and
dreamy defense of his seamy
connection with the Ghuey estate
and the high financial schemes
of the Holbrook News against
the county, the Judge finally
closes his epistle with the state
ment that he is now attending
strictly to his official business.
! Delaying his resolution until
this late date to attend strictly
to his official duties has caused
the Judges judicial prestige to
shrivel and his personal reputa-
ton to suffer many heavy jolts.
He admits that tinkering with
everything else. Gas we'll as loby-
ing for matters before the board
of supervisors does not pay one
holding his position.
AS not a ray of light is thrown
from his epistle on the rancid
subject of county demands, in
which the Judge was interested,
and no attempt is made to ex-
plain why numerous notices of
estates were published by order
of his court, in newspaper pay
ing dividends to him, the Judges
defense in his own behalf falls
flat to the ground leaving him
suspended in a more uncomfort-
able position than before.
To justify his large fee from
the Ghuey estate without render
ing value received, he says that
such fees are fixed by law and
that extra work, such as he
claims was performed in this
case, is also provided by law.
That lawyer of sound mind,
protesting only the qualifications
of a mere petifogger, woulc
make such a statement is incred'
ible, as no such provision is
written in the statute, but we
are confronted with that kind Of
tommy rot over the signature Of
our Superior Judge. However
Mr.. Sapp is excusable as his
chances for legal training have
been very much abbreviated.
