articles not necessary, voluntarily paid

THE DECLINING WITNESS.
The Grand Jury Instructed TO In
qHire Into the validity of the
Divorce.

The matter of the refusal of Kate
Smith Bassett to testify against her hus-
band before the Grand Jury was taken
up for consideration by Judge Zane in the
District Court this morning
MIR. Rawlins, who appeared for the
witness Mrs. Bassett, asked that she be
sworn on her vOir dire for the purpose of
establishing the fact that she isstne legal
wife of the defendant.
Mr.. Varian objected to this, stating
that it had already been shown that the
defendant had married one Sarah Will
liams previous to his marriage to Kate
Smith, and that the said Sarah Williams
is still living. What the Grand Jury
wanted 10 establish was that Kate Smith
had gone through a marriage ceremony
with the defendant previous to the one
admitted by the witness, and Mr.. Varian
claimed for the inquisitors the right to
establish this fact.
Mr.. Rawlins replied that by the evil
dence previously adduced it was shown
that the witness was married to the de-
PENDANT in 1886, and as they intended
proving that previous to that time the
defendant had been divorced from his
first wife, this marriage would make the
witness his legal wife whether she had or
had not been previously married to him
or lived with him in the polygamous
relation. He said that, therefore, the
witness could not, under the law, be
forced to testify against her husband,
because she is only competent in case
where he has committed a crime against
her, and it was evident from the testi-
mony that, if there had been any unlaw-
ful cohabitation previous to this marriage
which made Kate Smith the legal wife, |
the crime was against the first wife, |
Sarah Williams, and not against the |
witness.
eThe Judge said that if the parties de- |
sired he could pass upon the question of |
the competency Of the legal wife as a |
witness, but, as neither side seemed to
care about this, he instructed the Grand |
Jury to retire again and look into the
matter OF the divorce, and TO determine |
whether or not such decree had been
granted, and if it had been, to make all |
he investigations in their power which |
would tend to prove or disprove its va
idity.

SANITY ASSTNINITY.
Gentle Boys and Mormon Girls
Round Dancing.

The Mormon Church has started thus
early in the season to open fire with full
force against the practice of round dane
ing among the young Saints and Saint
esses.
4 few Sundays ago, Joseph f. Taylor,
the cohabitive outlaw, made his appear
ance in the Sugar House ward meeting
place and gave the young Saintesses a
fearful drubbing on keeping company
with Gentle youths. 1t was pretty hard
for the girls to take such raking from
this scapegrace, but it was infinitely
worse on the Gentle youth in general.
Those who have seen a Sugar House girl
Will need no further explanation. The
inspired Joseph also hammered away at
the evils OF round dancing, of which he
appeared to know great deal.
But this is not the saddest part of the
war on round dancing. 1t is no more
than is naturally expected of the fossil
ferrous stake presidents. A much worse
indication is seen in the fact that several
OF the most youthful youths of
Zion have been bluffed into rails
ing their voices against it. Sun
day before last STRIPPING saintlet
OF eighteen summers and two or three
winters-a saintlet who danced round
dances all last winter-a saintlet who is
no more capable of forming an idea for
himself than witness in cohab case is
OF telling the truth-this little saint
let was made the photograph
through which an anti-round-dancing
sermon was squeaked at the congregation.
The youth did not think there was Fmuch
harm" in the practice if there was not
too much "hugging" done, and closed his |
speech by saying that he would promise |
TO quit dancing round dances if the |
church would not allow them to 90 on.
He was followed by another lad little |
older in years but quite as young in ex-
perlence; and it is thus that the saints
are taught the Lords wishes. The
depth OF depravity to which a boy of
eighteen must descend in order to inject
ideas of morality or immortality into the
innocent pleasure of dancing, is some
thing more alarming than a thousand
such evils as those of which these kidlets
preach.
There is one good thing in the Church's
sitting down upon this sort of endowment,
i Will bring lots of the young people to
their senses and if it comes to the worst
he old saints will find that there are a
lew young Mormons who won't bluff for
cent.

THE WRIT DENIED.
Jadge Zane Refuses to Release LO-
renZO snow ON Habeas Corpus.

The matter of the petition for the re-
lease of Lorenzo Snow on writ of habeas
corpus, which was mentioned in yester-
days issue was again taken up in the
Third District Court this morning.
The body of the petition reads as fol.
lows:
The petition of Lorenzo Snow respect.
| fully shows: That he is now a prisoner
confined in custody of Frank H. Dyer
| United States Marshal in and for the
Territory of Utah, in the penitentiary OF
said Territory at the county of Salt Lake,
in said Territory, for supposed criminal
ofense against the United States, to-wit
Unlawful cohabitation.
Your petitioner also shows that such
confinement is by virtue OF the judgment,
warrant, and proceedings of record, in
Guiding three indictments against your
petitioner, his assignments thereon, and
pleas thereto respectively, as we'll as de-
murrers to such pleas, decisions thereof,
and verdicts of the jury, being the record
of said matters in the District Court OF the
First Judicial District of the Territory of
Utah, copies of all of which are hereto
annexed and marked respectively, ex-
hibits A, y, c, d, E, f, G, III, /, J, K, NJ,
n, o and p. And your petitioner fur
ther shows that under said judgment,
copy of which is marked exhibit "P," and
in execution thereof he has been impris-
oned in the penitentiary for more than
six months, to-wit: continuously since the
18th day of March, A. D. 1886, and has
paid $500 in satisfaction of the fine adj
judged against him, and all the costs
awarded and assessed against him on
said prosecution.
And your petitioner further states that
he is advised and verify believes that his
imprisonment is illegal, and that such
Illegally consists in this: The court had
no jurisdiction to pass judgment against
your petitioner upon more than one of the
indictments or records referred to in its
said judgment, for the reason that the
otfense therein set out is the same as that
contained and set out in each of the other
said indictments and records, and the
maximum punishment which the court
had authority to impose was six months
and fine of $500.
That by his said imprisonment your
petitioner is being punished twice for one
and the same offense.
Wherefore your petitioner prays writ
of habeas corpus, to the end that he may |
be discharged from custody.
LORENZO Snow. |
The matter of the issuance of the writ |
was discussed this morning by Messrs.
Varian and Richards and was then ruled |
upon by Judge Zane.
The Court said that assuming all the
facts in the petition to be true as stated,
the Court was of the opinion that there
was not sufficient reason for granting the
writ. With this opinion it was therefore
the duty OF the Court to deny its issuance.
Mr.. Richards asked that his exception
be noted, and the court then proceeded
to other matters.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Old Man Bailey Twice Tries to
Hang Himself I'm Jail.

Old George Bailey, who has for years
past been an almost constant inmate OF
the city Jail, was taken in drunk shortly
before 10 o'clock this morning, and a
few moments later made an almost sue
cessful attempt to "coil" off this mortal
shuttle.
Bailey had been iii Jail only about
twenty minutes when ''cop" who went
to the jail to take him into court found
him hanging from the end of a little rope
which was attacked to the top OF the
window. The coop" cut the rope and it
was found that he.was pretty far gone,
and had he been left hanging a
few moments more it is likely that he
would have been "goner." The po-
liceman left the Jail and before he had
time to return again the old man was
once more dangling in the air. This time
some of the other prisoners interfered
and brought him to the floor
How he got the rope is something
which no one seems able to explain, but
it is supposed that he took it with him
into the Jail. The old fellow has en-
joyed life in its fullness and it is sad in
deed that he should thus early grow
tired of it.
