ASKING FOR SHOWS RELEASE.
4 Petition For the Apostles ReIense
Oh IA Writ of Habeas Corpus.

At the opening OF the Third District
Court this afternoon, Mr.. S. f. Richards
presented petition asking for the re-
lease on a writ Of habeas corpus of
Apostle Lorenzo Snow, of the Mormon
Church, now serving out term of i'm.
prisonment in the Utah Penitentiary
The grounds upon which the petition is
based are too numerous and lengthy for
REORGANIZATION, but the chief claims are
that the prisoner is being punished twice
for the same oilcnse and that the case il
full Of Irregularities.
The petition with all the showings in
the case was presented 20 the Court, and
Mr. Richards asked that the writ be
granted pending the hearing OF the peti-
ton upon which the final discharge is
asked.
The Court was OF the opinion that the
matter of granting the writ might be
heard together with the petition for the
discharge, and decided 10 take the mat.
ter under adyisement until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.

HOW BISHOPS ARE MADE.
The New Leader For the Fourteenth
Ward saints.

Readers OF the DEMOCRAT will remem-
Der that short time ago the then bishop
Of the Fourteenth ward was fired from
his exalted position into the deep, dark
Mormon hell for the commission OF
crime inhuman in the extreme and dis
gusting in iniinity. This, OF course, lett
the ward headless, and since that time
the Saints have been cropping along in
the dark as best they could and have no
doubt felt that the Lord had forgotten
them. As to the correctness OF this be-
lief we cannot say, but the events of last
Sunday evening show that if the Lord
has gone back on them, Saints Angus
Cannon and Joseph f. Taylor are still
with them.
The incident in question occurred in
the meeting house Of the ward mentioned,
and is given below as related by an eye
witness.
The gentleman who tells the story says
that he had gone to that meeting expect
ing to hear good sermon, but when he
got seated and found out that the congre-
cation was to be addressed by disbarred-
barrister Miner, he lost all hope and
settled down to u good Sabbath nap.
After the talking had been going on for
something less than an infinite period OF
time, the gentleman noticed a closeness
seldom experienced even in a meeting
house. 1t was almost sitting, but as he
noticed that all the other Saints were still
alive, the narrator concluded that it was
the effect OF the speaking, and was about
to concede to himself that he was unduly
prejudiced against bad oratory, when he
noticed that the blinds were down over
all the windows and that the door was
guarded by deacon.
A moment later the door opened and
two forms stole stealthily up the aisle.
Brother Miner concluded that he had
spouted long enough and stated that the
rest OF the evening would be devoted to
business. The two persons who had en-
tered were none other than the angelic
Anguish Cannon and the desirable and
(thank heaven) less frequent Joseph f..
Taylor.
Before Aurelius Miner was fairly seated
the shadowy Angus had glanced around
the room to see that none of Gods pure
air was allowed to enter, sent reinforce
ment of deacons to the door, lodged two
or three rays OF light which threatened to
strike him and was standing once more
before congregation of the Saints. He
began in low tone to speak OF the many
changes which had occurred in the
church lately, and finally, waxing louder,
he suddenly became afraid of his own
voice and dropped pale and haggard into
a seat. In second Joseph E. was in the
stand, and, as he proposed the name of
George X. TAYLOR for bishop and counted
the uplifted hands with his eyes shut,
Anguish" plastered down the new
bishops hair with castor oil and, mutter-
ing few words by way of blessing, the
pair departed. At the close of the meet
ing a couple OF good hats and two new
silk umbrellas were missing, but as the
old ones left behind wore an apostolic air,
no one was the kicker.
All the blinds, except those over the
eyes of the Saints, were pulled up, the
air was purified and the Fourteenth
warders now rejoice i'll brand new
bishop.

POLICE POINTERS.
/ Busy Day I'm Judge Pyper's
Court.

To-day was another busy one in the
Police Court, several offenders having
been brought up TO answer for their con-
duct.
Thomas Leland, Il short, fat boy, and
George Atwood, Il tall, lean man, were
arraigned on the charge OF fighting, and
both entered pleas OF not guilty. Accord
ing to Leland's story, the affair was
a boxing match, and the two were "just
fooling." Atwood, however, said that
Leland had claimed that he (Atwood)
owed him (Leland) quarter, and that
when the former refused to pay, the
latter decided to punch it out OF him.
Leland then introduced witness who
said that he "see' the two with their
arms around each other in u manner
which, from his description must have
been very atfectionate. A new idea then
struck Leland and he decided that they
were just embracing each other. He
said he didn't pretend that it was a
wrestling match any more than spar
ring match, but from all he said it was
evident that he would cling to the theory
that the affair was hippodrome. The
Judge took a different view of it and as
sessed the amateur pugilists $3.50 each.
John Doe was up again, this time
charged with being drunk and profane
and resisting the officers. He was as
sessed 500.
Edward Tolhurst and Charles Whit
man, two small boys, were brought in
charged with malicious mischief, in the
form OF breaking pieces from the fence
surrounding the Jewish Synagogue.
Whitman's sentence was suspended on
account of his extreme youth, and the
other boy will be dealt with to morrow.
Conrad NEWMAN, found guilty of be-
smearing the walls OF house he had
rented, was sentenced to pay fine of $40.
lie gave notice of an appeal, and at last
accounts he was rustling around for
bondsmen.

personal friends However, owing to the
relations he bore TO the Liberal party as
its founder, ETC., and his actions last win
ter in Washington in behalf OF the Cen
tile cause here, and his anticipated return
to Washington, he felt that he
would be handicapped in accepting
the nomination; was in favor Of
a fusion ticket as the only means of sue
cess, should the Tucker bill pass it will
take the united efforts OF both Republi
cans and Democrats to carry the election.
In fact he would accept no nomination;
could work better in Washington as he
was, otherwise with nomination he
would be charged with having a cogres-
sional bee in his bonnet Thanking the
committee Mr.. Baskin retired.
Col. VIM. NJ. Ferry was then nomi-
mated by Mr. Williams and seconded by
McDaniels, Craigbum and Waddell. He
declined, and insisted upon the
nomination Of Mr.. Baskin, and urged
that as Democrat, he had no right to
decline the nomination.
Upon the motion, Col. Ferry received
the unanimous vote OF the committee.
Committee then adjourned subject to
call Of the chairman.

SHE DECLINED TO ANSWER.
KITE smith Bassctt Brought Into
Court by the Grand Jury.

Shortly before noon to-day the Grand
Jury came into the Third District Court
and reported that Kate Smith Bassett,
witness in the case OF the United States
VS.. William f.. Bassett, had refused to
answer certain questions and requested
that she be instructed by the Court to
answer them.
The Judge looked over the report and
then addressed the witness as follows {:
The first question put was, "Did you go
through marriage ceremony with
William L. Bassett at Logan prior to
your marriage to him in Salt Lake City?"
Was that question put to you?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-And you declined to answer it?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-On what ground?
A.-On the ground that am the legal
wife of the defendant.
Odd he not have Il wife before he
married you?
Ayes, sir, but he was divorced from
her.
Odd you know that of your own
knowledge? Were you present when the
decree was grantedp
Al saw the divorce.
The Court-Well, that was proper
question. The next question asked was,
odd you at any time in 1884 go through
any marriage ceremony with the defend
ant, William E. Bassett, in the temple at
Logan?" Was that question put to you?
Ayes, sir.
Q.-And you declined to answer?
Ayes, sir.
The Court-The question is proper
one. The other questions were, "Have
you gone through a ceremony OF mar
riage with Mr.. Bassett at any other place
in the Territory OF Utah, except in the
city OF Salt Lake," and "Were you not
married to the defendant prior to 1884,
and have you not lived with him since
that time as his wife, Were these
questions put to your
Ayes, sir.
Q.-And you declined to answer them
also?
Ayes, sir
The Court; These are all proper ques-
tons and you should answer them. 1t is
your duty to do so, and unless you do the
Court must punish you. The jury may
retire with the witness and give her an
other chance to answer.
The witness then asked to be allowed
to consult with her attorney, Mr.. Raw
Inns, and after short consultation that
ment upon the question.
He said that according to the report it
appeared that the witness had previously
testified that she was married to the de-
PENDANT in this city in 1886. Now, said
