L yOo-
terday gave an interesting review of the
opening phases of the crusade that has just
been inaugurated in the interest of justice-of
justice, alas so long delayed-in Salt Lake
City against the bloodthirsty ''Saints" who
for nearly generation have ruled by terror
ism and murder. The following additional
particulars give many supplementary and o
few later details, and form continuation to
the previous kilograms, but they were re-
ceived at too late an hour yesterday morn

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. %, 1871.
THE CASE OF HAWKINS.
We have again had an exciting day in this
city. This morning sentence was passed
upon Thomas Hawkins, found guilty of
adultery under the Territorial laws. The
sentence is three years hard labor in the
Penitentiary and $500 fine.
Hawkins has been lodged in the prison at
Camp Douglas under military guard. His
case comes up again on Monday morning
before Judge Mexican on application for his
release on bail until an appeal is decided
before the Supreme Court. It is probable
that he will be allowed his liberty by giving
$4,000 bail to await anal judgment.
Hawkins sentence is regarded as an act Of
persecution by the Mormons; by other classes
it is regarded in the light Of an example some
what lenient. The sentence has produced a
deep commotion In Mormon circles, the eff
feet Of which cannot be justly measured nor
clearly foreseen.
ARREST OF MAYOR WELLS.
But the more intense excitement of this af-
ternoon, caused by the arrest of Mayor Daniel
II. Wells, one of the Presidents Of the Church
of Latter Day Saints, on an Indictment
found by the Grand Jury for murder, together
with the arrest of Judge Hosea Stout and Will
liam Kimball, prominent citizens, on the
same grounds, has quite put in the shade the
Hawkins case.

Richard Yates, mountain trader, who was
killed in the Mouth Weber Canyon and
robbed of 5000 in 1867.

| a second indictment charges him with the
murder of another man.
DANTE ACCESSORY.

the murder Of man called Buck, who was
killed in 1868, a couple of miles from this
city.
| THE EXAMINATION.
| Wells and Stout were brought before Judge
Mexican this afternoon, but, it being late, the
discussion of the right Of the Court to admit
them to bail was postponed until Monday
morning.
| TIE MORMON POLICE MUTNOUe.
They were then taken to the United State.
Marshal's Office, followed by large crowd
among which were all the city police, some O
whom said that Mayor Wells should not 90 tc
Camp Douglas unless he wished; but there
was no difficulty or disturbance.
TIE SANITY PRISONERS IN JAIL.
Finally, carriages having been obtained,
the accused were taken by Marshal Patrick
