IS the case OF Ann Eliza against
Brigham Young, applications OF
plaintiff for u writ of attachment to
compel payment Of $500 per month
alimony, pendente lite, from the time
of the commencement Of the suit,
nearly two years ago, rs awarded by
Chief Justice NJ Kean, u decision was
rendered ON Monday by Chief JUS
tice Lowe. II is quite lengthy, anil
may be summarized ~ follows : In
all cases Of divorce the law was plain
and the authorities overwhelming
that alimony could not DO awarded
unless void marriage was either first
admitted ~ the parties or proved.
The defendant lad alleged in his an
swor that the marriage in question
was bigamous and polygamous one,
aud the allegations not being dc
MED. must be taken as true
IL such n marriage was entered en-
tered into ignorantly by defendant,
equity will open its doors for her re-
lief, but upon the case as it stands,
it is not, in the judgment OF the
court, according t, the principal Of
equity or good conscience to enforce
the payment Of at interim alimony,
1t apn"ars from the record that the
alle6 ed marriage was celebrated in
this cl,y, aud that the plaintiff and
defendant both reside in this city. II
cannot, therefore, be q difficult or OK
pensive duty for the plaintiff tc
place upon record q confirmation OF
some explanation Of the unexsmplet
and extraordinary allegations made
il any Just explanation exists; anf
the court holds that such explanation
!. is due to the common princinleE q g
sought.
1t would be strange indeed il. up
on such state of facts, uncontrovcr
ted by any rule Of pleading or OF lay
and, unextenuated by any evidence
it could be imposed M u duty upon
court of equity to direct OF enforc
payment ofalimony, and thus bestoy
apparent if not indeed real sanction
OF the law upon practice which i
hostile to the civilization of the age
and which the penal statutes of tn,
land visit with condign punishment
The motion for an attachment i
denied aud the rule discharged.

A young fiend in Missouri has been
detected in an attempt 10 compass the
assassination ofhi father, mother and
brother in law. He deliberately hatch
ed aplot for the accomplishment Of his
purpose and attempted to hire man
to do the bloody work, promising to
pay him fifteen hundred dollars on its
accomplishment. But although the
man thus approached did not possess
Il spotless reputation, he successfully
resisted the tempting offer TO earn a
snug sum OF money by tho perform

fully, and the s'n was dragged before
his father, who was made aware of the
contemplated attempt against his life.

natural son over TO the officers of Jus.

seem,it was the only one which would
guarantee protection to the father
from his bloody minded son. But
this father, instead of taking proper
precautions to protect himself and 80
ciety from the cruelty Of his son, or~
dered him to be horse whipped, gave
him draft for fifty dollars AM. dis
carded him. The scoundrel immedi
ately disappeared, and has not been
heard of since. The secret OF his de g.
sire to make way with his father, who
is one Of the wealthiest aud most
pupular men in Missouri, is TO be
found in the fact that while at school
the boy got into bad habits, and WAS
on the eve Of marriage which his
father refused to countenance, and
took him home. Finding that his
father would not give him the means
to set up ~ married man, because
he WAS not yet OF age, and was un.
able 10 keep himself he concluded to
get means by putting the family out
