The Case of John D. Lee.

The following is taken from the Pioche
(NeV. Record, October 81:
In conversation with W. W. Bishop
last evening, in relation to the John ID.
Lee trial, he informed us that be has ap-
pealed the case TO the Utah Supreme
Court. If their decision is adverse he
will appeal to the Supreme Court Of the
United States. He has labored hard for
the man who has been made scapegoat
ofby the Mormon leaders, and hopes yet
to, secure different verdict. Should
the United States Supreme Court decide
adversely he will appeal to Executive
clemency.
lie has in his possession vast amount
OF documentary evidence and private
manuscript written by Lee himself,
which throws good degree of light
over what has been hidden Tor twenty
years. 1t is not exactly a confession, 1t
Is an exposure, a revelation OF the whole
thing. AS soon as the matter can be
got into shape-some time in January
nexl-it is Mr.. Bishops intention to
publish the entire thug in book form,
the early life OF Lee, his connection with
the Mormon Church, his career as
one OF the "destroying angels"
lull accounts of the different
murders perpetrated at the insti-
gatioa of the council, the trial OF Lee,
testimony, Sc. On leaving Beaver, Lee
gave hiln communication requesting
him TO act as historian, and placing at
his disposal all the papers and dOeu-
ments In his possession, and promising
to write out in tuil all that he knew tend
ing to throw any further light upon the
aMiul tragedy of Noun tain Meadows.
Bisuop thinks that Lee has been more
sinned against than SHINING; that what
ever he did do was done as an irrespon-
sible agent in the hands Of u power that
he believed diviue in it's dictates and to
be obeyed nquestionably.

Says the English Veterinarian: "AIl
horses can be educated TO the extent of
their underst tanding as we'll as children.
The great difference in the m comes from
different management. We once saw an
aged lady drive a high-spIritsd horse
attached to a carriage, down a steep
hill, with no held-baek straps upon the
harness, and she assured that there was
no danger, for her son accustomed his
horses TO all kinds Of usages and sights
that commonly drive the animal into a
frenzy OF fear and excitement. Any
thing can be done with horse il he only
be taught by careful management that
he will not be injured thereby"
