David King Udall, called to Arizona to be the bishop of St. Johns in 1880, was wrongly convicted of perjury in 1885 and sentenced to prison in Detroit, Michigan. His trial was the climax of five years of conflict between Mormon leaders and the St. Johns Ring, a group of about six non-Mormons with alliances with Mexican-American settlers. The perjury case was really an excuse to prosecute Udall, who only weeks earlier had escaped conviction on charges of polygamy. After this, the ring lost its political power and some of the members even became friends with the Mormons.
