The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-11-28

The vampires, who, for nearly half cen
fury, have been defiantly violating thelawe
OF God, as contained in the decalogue, al
well as the laws OF this and all other civil
ICED nations designed to protect public
morals, having been finally brought to the
bar OF justice: are vainly striving to shield
themselves by falsely charging their accus
+! ers with the same statutory offenses. 1t
won't do, Mr.. Mormon. The pent up wrath
Of fifty years cannot be stayed by any such
transparent subterfuges as you have re-
sorted to. o! No! Murder will out. Your
RIGHTEOUSNESS has heaped such a burden Of
disgrace upon the American people as to
have excited their indignation to such a
, pitch az to impel them to cry for your
| blood, if necessary, to remove it, and to
| atone for your adulterous practices. The
mills of the gods may have ground slowly
but you will be taught that they grind surely
The %hypocritical Saints, with the view
of carrying their Satanical designs into ex-
ec' ton, enga ged the services OF harlots in
| Salt Lake, and even imported them from
San Francisco, for the express purpose Of
| casting a cloud of suspicion around and
| falsely charging the Government officers
with lascivious conduct, thereby hoping to
render them amenable to the acts OF Con
gress prohibiting unlawful co~habitation
Mormons having a plurality OF wives
that is, those practicing polygamy-are
being prosecuted, convicted and impris-
oned for openly and defiantly violating
these laws. The prisons already swarm
with them, and the cell doors yearn
for more victims. Having secured the
services of a horde of lewd, abandoned
women, those miserable creatures put in
operation all the hellish machinery of their
art to entwine within their tolls, If posi-
BILE, those who were actively employed in
enforcing the laws and prosecuting the
fiends in human form, who practice polyga-
my and debauch fair women to satiate
their devilish lust.
These abandoned women intercepted
their intended victims on the highways,
visited their offices, and wrote and for
warded seductive letters, OF which the fol-
lowing is a specimen:
JUDGE MCKAY:-DEAR SIR: If convenient, l
would be pleased to have you call to see me this
afternoon or about dusk this evening. l want to
see you on particular business. Please answer
by messenger boy when you will call. Respect
fully, MRS. FIELDS.

SALT LAKE, July %, 1885.
Could there have been such a villainous
scheme as this concocted by any other
class of men, processing to be human? 1t
seems hardly possible for men to be so de-
PRAYED az to conceive, and haye the au-
dacity to attempt to carry out, such q
damnable plot. The scheme was such a
shocking one hat it led to it's own
exposure. Deputy United States Marshal
Vandercook, the first intended victim, was
arrested and arraigned before one of the
arch cons, TRAITORS, a Mormon police Judge.
His court was crowded with polygamists,
who gathered in front of the demoniacal
judge with satanical grins spreading over
their countenances, and glaring eyes, such
as can only be seen in Hades, showing their
devilish qualification at what they sup
posed to be their first triumph over the
Gentiles.

Upon the scene, armed with a writ of habeas
corpus, commanding the production OF the
defendant before Judge Zane at the District
Court forthwith. The Mormon fiends start.
ed as though they had been struck with a
thunderbolt, and upon recovering from the
shock they retreated in dismay. Their
foul conspiracy was nipped in the bud. The
hearing on the habeas corpus was postponed
by the Judge for a few days. In the interim
the whole plot has been exposed. Not sat
isfed with insulting the Nation by hoist
ing the flag at half mast on the Fourth of
July last, they now add insult to injury
by vainly endeavoring to trample upon the
laws with contempt. Step by step they are
moving on to certain destruction. Every
act OF theirs tends to increase the density
of the clouds OF wrath lowering above and
around them. A few more overt acts on
their part will be sufficient to create a cy-
clone of Indignation which will sweep them
and their demoralizing practices from the
American continent. The sooner the bet
ter, for they must go.
