The Ann Eliza Case The Status
OF Mormon Women.

SALT LAKE. April 81.
Chief Justice Sehaeffer in the Third
District Court to day rendered a
decision on the merits of the case of
Ann Eliza Young against Brigham
Young. The Judge held that Brigham 8
marriage with his first wife, Mary Ann
Angel. was legal contract nnder the
statutes of Ohio. where they were
married, and that therefore the prophet
was incapable of contracting a legal
marriage with Ann Eliza. The rerson.
Sidney Ridden, who performed the
marriage ceremony between the defend
ant and Mary Ann Angel in Kirkland,
Ohio, in 1884. had no liens authorizing
him to perform such ceremony and
none was needed 10 make the marriage
valid. The plaintiff and defendant CO.
habited together as husband and wife
for several years after their defacto
marriage. The defendant deserted i'll
treated and neglected the plaintiff.
Such marriage was induced and effected
by undue influence and coercion. The
conclusion is that the plaintiff is not
entitled to decree of divorce: that
the alleged marriage was and is
polygamous and therefore null and
void,
