HOW the MORMONS DEFY THE

Rudger Clawson, Mormon, is on
trial in Salt Lake City on a charge of
bigamy. He has long been notorious
for having two wives, and has fire.

But now that he is charged with the
crime the Mormons stop ut no means
to assist him in escaping from the
mcshes of the law. The prisoners
wives aud the mother of his second
wife cannot be found by the officers
of the court; the high dignitaries of
the church who have testified in the
case, while admitting polygamous
marriage to be one of their tenets.
claim to be entirely ignorant of the
names of any polygamists. The wit
nesses are perjuring themselves most
shamefully to shield the defendant,
and it begins to look as if the prose-
cution would fail to get verdict.
That is the way with these Nor
mons. While boasting of aud openly
practising polygamy, they stand al
ways ready to add perjury to their
other crimes by swearing positively
to what they know to be false. With
such a condition of affairs, the need
of ''heroic remedy" to rid the coun-
try of this lnw-dsfying people is get
ting more and more apparent.
