CHICAGO, July l5.-A pale faced little
woman, giving her name as Elizabeth
Turnbull Rutter, formerly OF North
Shields, England, was picked up on the
streets yesterday, apparently fainting
from hunger. She claimed to have had
nothing to eat on her four days trip
from Ogden, Utah, to Chicago, enroute
to her old home in England. She told
n terrible story OF experiences among
the Mormons. Her young son, she
stated had been induced against the
wishes OF his parens to join a party OF
emigrants, organized by Mormon mis-
sionaries in England. Not hearing from
the boy, who it was afterwards learned,
had been prevented by elders from writ
ing, the father, frantic with anxiety, fol-
lowed to Utah. He found employment
with Mormon farmer named Jos. Hol-
bert, but was unable to earn enough to
help continue the search until pretend
ing to Join the church. Then Rutter
got money and sent some home to her,
but all his letters telling OF the condi-
ton OF affairs in Utah were intercepted
and others substituted urging her to come
TO Utah with the missionaries. She
obeyed, and claims the women in the
party were subjected to fearful indigni.
ties enroute by the elders. Rutter was
murdered shortly after he joined him,
He had inadvertently given n young
Mormon an inkling OF his plans to find
his boy and escape with his wife. The
Mormons asserted that Rutter's death
was accidental. She was defrauded by
Holbert OF her husbands savings, but
fleeing to Ogden earned enough money
working in a hotel to pay her passage
home. The amount Of railroad fare was
larger than she expected, and sooner
than delay longer she had derived her
self OF food on the long journey tc
