BRIGHAM YOUNG's DIVORCE sU1u.

BklUHaM 1OUNt y DlfOhCE OO -,
Brigham Young, in his contest with Ann
Eliza, says that he is the husband Of but one
wife, although he has been temporarily sealed
to some seventy others, and now the courts are
in great distress, for if they decide that Ann
Eliza is entitled to divorce then she must
have been legally married, and, therefore, po-
lygamy Is judicially recognized, and il they de-
eide that be could not marry Ann Eliza on &C
count of his legal bonds !gith Mrs. Young No..
|, then there is no use Of Aun Eliza wanting
divorce.
There is nothing meau about the Prophet
lie says that Ann Eliza was, on the 10th day
of April, 1868, at Salt Lake City, Utah Ter.
ritory, married to one James L. Dee, who is
still living, and that ever since the, said 10th
day of April, 1869, she has been, and, on the
said 9th day Of April, 1868. was, and still IS,
the lawful wife of the said Jas. l.. Dee, never,
as he is now advised and believes, having been
divorced from the said James j.. Dee; that 80
far as he is concerned, atthe town OF klrtiand,
10 the State of Ohio on the 10th day of Jan
uary, A. D., 1884, he being then an unmar-
ried mao, was duly and lawfully married to
Mary Ann Angel, by minister OF the Gos-
pei, who was ,heu and there by the laws of
said State authorized to solemnize marriages,
aud that the said marriage was then aud there
fully consumulated, and that the said Mary
Ann Angel, vino is still living, then aud there
became, and ever since has been, and still Is,
his lawful wife; all of which said facts the
said Aup Elz,, on the said 9th day of April.
1858, and for long time prior thereto, had
full knoyledpe aud information thar such was
the case, aud that afterward, just 10 oblige
