that Miles went TO England as a missionary

they Were engaged TO ne married Ii was un-
derstood that the marriage was to take place
here, according To the ceremony of the NOR

ber of the Mormon Church two years, and
looked upon the advice of the President of
the church as right and conclusive. 1t was
claimed by the defense that the marriage
with Miss owens had not been proven,
and that cohabitation with her only had
been proven. That the witness is incompe-
tent to testify had been produced and their
evidence allowed. II was admitted that the
