HIS HEALTH.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct 29.-lt is stated in
official circles that Brigham Young left Tues
day evening for the south. Yesterday he was
said to be 120miles south, and his course bends
still onward. Many think he intends to leave
the country, but think he will find refuge in
St. George village, 300 miles from here and
about fifteen days from the court. 1t is certain
lv doubtful whether he will appear for trial, and
it is also doubtful whether he will ever be
seen again here until the trouble is over.
Delegate Hooper has gone to Washington TO see
the president, and endeavOr to effect some basis
for compromise by which the United States
authorities, judicial and executive, may be re-
strained or removed.
The church is in the greatest ferment. Hoop
CIR in Washington, Cannon in San francisco
and Brigham Young in the sOuth-all slipping
off secretely and without the knowledge of the
people. Hooper hopes to accomplish every
thing with the president; the trials are to be
discontinued if he succeeds, and this is promise
Of reformation for the future. Officials are on
the alert. Something mysterious is i'll the
wind. Order reigns in the Mormon quarter.
Mayor Wells is practical ly at the head of the
community.
MORE UTAH INTERCHANGEABLE OF NOR
MoNIsM-HAwKINs SENTENCED.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 29.-Chief Justice Nc
Kean yesterday morning passed sentence upon
Thomas Hawkins, the pOlygamiSt, as follows.
L
sorry. You may not think so now, but shall
try to make you think so by the mercy which |
shall show you. GOu came from England TO this
country with the wife OfyOur youth. For many
years you were a kind husband and kind
father. At length, however, the evil spirit of
polygamy tempted and possessed YOU. Then hap
pnesS departed from your household, and now,
by the complaint of your faithful wife and the
verdict of a aw-abdng jury, you stand at this
bar as ii convicted criminal The law gives me Il
large discretionary power in passing sentence
upon YOU. ] might both fine and impriSOn, or |
might dne or imprsOn you. might imprisOm
you twenty years and line you $1,000. | cannot
imprison you for less than three years nor fine
you less than $4,000. 1t is right that you should
be fined, among other reasons, to help deiray
the expenses of enforcing the laws; but my eX-
perienCG in Utah has been SUCH that were ] 10
fine you, am satisfied the fine would be paid
out of other funds than yours and thus
you would 90 free, absolutely free from all
punishment; and then those men who mislead
the people would make thousands of others be
lieve that God had sent the money to pay the
fine; that God had prevented the court from
sending you to prison; that, by a miracle, you
had been rescued from the authorities of the
United States. must look to it that my iudg-
meUt gives no aid and comfort to such men.
| must look to it that my judgment be not so
severe as to seem to be vindictive, and not so
light as to seem to tritie with justice; that this
community begin to learn that God does not
interpOSe to rescue criminals from their crimes,
but that, on the contrary, He so orders the
affairs of His universe that sooner orlater crime
stands face to face with justice and justice is the
master. | will say here and now that whenever
your good behavior and the public good snail
justify me in doing so, will gladly recommend
that YOU be pardOnad. The Judgment of the
court is that you be fined five hundred dollars,
and that you be imprisoned at hand labor for
the term of three years"
Contrary to all expectations, there was little
or no excitement in the court room. The at
tendance was large, but generally all maintained
a proper decorum. The u. S marshal and de-
tcctives were fully prepared for any emergency.
Notice of an appeal to the supreme court was
given by the prisoners counsel.
