Ia the columns Of that sheet and tell II you.sea any
thing scountenanoing the perpeution Of these enorni
ties on the contrary Is it not plain that they wnked
at and encouraged ~.
Of Utah have laws for the regulation OF society and
the punishment OF eviiocrsi Have they not been pro
vided with courts and grand juries Then Mary Col
ns and others have trodden the forbidden paths Of crime
why not bring them to justice by dse proecssef lauf
But no doubt these persons of opinion that the
Office of the supreme court institution of great an
noyance themselves and deserved to be abated for
that court is bound TO recognise the cred constitutional
guaranty 10 every Of the right OF ris by ary aud
b, condemn those who seek under of night to
Hict lawiess punishment wliethst desetved On vnd-
served
But owe their territorial enactments passing notice
which may exempy more fully their utter indifference
TO constitutional law. ~ t"|.
They have endowed thsiv courts Of probate with full
concurrent jurisdiction with the district courts of th.
uhited States in all cseb, both civil ahd criminal arnn
under the laws of the Territory They have empowered
them with grand uries which convene from four to AK
times in each year ut vast expense to the people, to In
quire into crime and misdemeanors in each OF their
spectve counties In these courts Of probate, Therefore
a man may be indicted and put in jeopardy of his life
But perhaps the grand jury of the district court OF the
United States Is convened during the week following and
charged to take cognizance OF all crimes and misemean
ors arising within the body of their district both under
the laws of the United States and Of the Territory What
right has the district court to presume that another m
bnna has stepped in and removed the burden OF rspon
sibility from its shoulders And have doubted In my
mind any right its part TO recognise the existence
of such an institution the other tribunal Then my
position be correct probate courts not being Of right
courts Of competent jurisdiction in the case-the
who was indicted and tried for murder last week In
court may again be presented and placed In jeopardy of
his life, in violation of constitutional law.
They have enacted that attorney shall be required
in all to depose whether for against his client
all facts which come to his knowledge in his capacity
of attorney which is In effect violation OF constitutional
law.
They have also enacted that In criminal proceedings
suit may be stopped at any stage by agreement Of parties
and payment of costs, thereby OPENING door for se
ci.s of bribery and corruption the most deleerlous 10
public interest that can be imagnbd
And these arb the pefsois who DIRE whining botinudl
ly and ptcousy Of injuries Inflicted on them by pcrsons
outside their society but Is 1t not plain that they are o
fcssona complanes, who whine Ut any and everything
for the purpose of nsting into deuded victims pru
dces against the government under which they live and
for instilling sympathy abroad They caumnate all
who presume lift their voices against them by we'll
adjusted ystcm of fasehood chicanery fraud, and cal
| umny, they have long deceived mankind In regard to
their aboninable institutions and practices They have
delued dccoyed and ruined forever thousands Of honest
people robbed them Of their property deprived them Of
their constitutional rights and arc now Urging them for
ward in system Of and rebellion which will lead
them inevitably into war, devastation, and ruin
