THE Virginia City (Ncv.) Chronicle of
the 18th publishes an account Of an inter
view on the Mormon question with W. W.
Bishop, who defended John D. Lee. He
states, from intimate personal knowledge Of
Mormon affairs, il Brigham Young thinks
he can stand trial and get clear there will
be no resistance; If he apprchends con.
| vction he will unquestionably fight His
followers will stand by him to the
last man. Hgbee, Hsight and Stewart can
only be taken by a superior force Of United
States troops. Under the present jury sys-
TEN, it is simply impossible to convict any
OF the other assassins in Utah. Lee was con-
victed only because Dist.-Att'y Howard sue
| eeeded in making Young believe that by the
conviction OF Lee, Utah would be admitted
into the Union as State, whereupon Young
ordered his conviction for the good OF the
church
