MORMON DEVICES.

sbisldinR Indicted RslisionIsts by False
Reports-McSfurrin Disappears.
SAN LAKE CIrT, December SO.-The
church organ, the News, said last evening;
"McAiarfiih has hssa taken with 9 ssls Z
ana isfn ! da6gsrous condition" The
Mormon Herald said the same thing. Lster
it appeared that McMurrin had fed OF
been taken away By the church people be
cause of the fear that church officials
will become involved in the conspiracy to
kilr United States Deputy Marshal Collin.
McMurrin was subp1naed to appear in
court yesterday 10 answer the charge OF
shooting Collin, but Mormon physicians
certificate was produced, stating that he
was too Ill to do 30.
A Mormon physicians certificate was
also produced yesterday that Hampton. in-
dicted for importing women to eeduee Cen
tiles was in such state of health that i'm
prisoument would kill him. Sentence
upon him vas therefore temporarily de-
ferred. The mormons are contesting every
point in defense Of ftheir coreligionists, and
will evidently make desperate legal strug-
gle in their behalf.
