to the crowd that gathered around him. He

jew. Nobody knows who he is or where he

sent for to converse with him, which they did
in the Hebrew language, ard the stranger
was found to be perfect in his knowledge of

him in Arabic, in Phencian, and in Sanscrit,

TIE MYSTERir.s OF TIiE LAWN Maine,
at the term Of the Supreme Court now being
held at Portland, bill of indictment was
found by the grand jury against John S.
Spragnc for the crime of polygamy: Them
dc'ment charged that Splague, on the llth
of September, 1851 being then and there an
unmarried man. was lawfully married to En-
lily NJ. Clark, and that afterwards, on the 4th
of December, 1865 his first wife being still
living. he married Rhoda Sylvia Stewart,
thereby committing the crime of polygamy.
Spraeuc's counsel stated to the Court that the
County Attorney was willing to admit, and
that the defence could prove. that the alleged
first marriage was not legal one, Sprague
at that time being a married man and having
a wife living. In fact, that he had three
wives: >bnt az the indictment was based upon
the legality Of the second marriage, which
was not legal, it must therefore fail And
further, if the government attempted to prove
that the first wife was living when sprsgnc
married the third one he should object to
such evidence. as there was no such allega-
ton in the indictment. This last position
being sustained by the Court, the County
Attorney entered mol. pros, and thus
Sprague, who was charged with having tro
wives. got clear by having three.
