Tor years; but never dared 20 say so till with
| in 4 few months.
Rpoter-Did any one induce you to
! abandon the faith?
| Laiy-No, sir, no one; my own good
sense and reason told me it was falsehood.
Reporter-iiave You conyersed much with
any one upon the faith?
! L,dy-t;o; but while was feeling bad |

| l knew every wo d was true from my own
sad experience, and it encouraged me to
leave the hateful polyeamic life, ard ! am
| glad that / have done it.
Reporter-Does your father approve of
your course?
Lady-He is sorry that have taken this
step, but he is very kind to NE and will pro-
tect me. NV father ia a good man and am
his child. My brothers nave not seen; my
father sees me frequently.
Reporter-Brigham Young laughs at your
course, and asserts that he will allow you no
alimony.
LADY, told my lawyers that whether i
was defeated or not would do what l was
doing to save other women from falling into
the same snare.
eporter-How does he get along with
HE other wives
Lidy-He keeps them 40 under his thumb
that they dare no, say anything. To their
particular friends they complain. They are
very much tried with his course.

chiefly?
I.sdy-They are mortified by
HIS PARTIALLY TO AMELIA

live in a very plain way, and are forced to
earn good deal OF their support.
Reporter-liow has she obtained such an

wives think that he il afraid of her because
she is such a virago She has threatened to
leave him hundreds OF times, suppose. 1t
il said that she tro,- him about everywhere
that she pieasez, and when she gets into one
OF her tantrums zhe sruasbes furniture and
everything around She il the only one in
the family that he dreadz.
Reporler-Why should he submit to her
to such an extent while he lumbles and neg
lecs the others?
Lady-He thinks, tIoubt'ess, it world he
great scandal if she ielt him; besides, she
is acquainted with great many things that
he would never wsnt brought before the
public.
Repor;e. any Of the other wives
threaten Ia leave him?
Lady think ii the Cart c1mpsis him
to support one that the young wife whom he
married few months before me would also
leave.
Eepor;er-WhIt does she complain Of?
Lidy-Wn.n this lady had a daughter lo
him Amelia was 50 enraged, ~ she had heen
chiiiless herself. that she forbade Bri- ham
ever 10 lie a hu band 10 that young wife
again.
