FRANKLIN, Pa, Nov. 23-The wife
of Green, the man said TO have been
killed by the Mormons for reveal
ing the secrets Of the endowment
house, resides in this city in a hut
near Bell stone quarries. She says
there is no doubt that the man killed
was her husband. Mr.. Green and his
family were Mormons and resided near
Utah and she was we'll acquainted with
Mr.. Wardwell, who testified at Salt Lake
City that he saw Green killed. Five or six
years ago she and her husband deter
mined to leave the Mormon church. and in
order to do so quietly disposed of all
their goods and chattels TO Gentle
neighbors. BY some means the Nor
mons discovered their intentions and
deliberately robbed them of their all,
and Green was sent into the mountains
on some mission, while she was sent
East, arriving in this city destitute. Up
10 five months ago she frequently re-
ceived word from her husband, but all
communications between them suddenly
ceased and she is now certain that her
husband was murdered by the Nor
mons, as he frequently told her that he
was a marked man and that his death by
violence might be looked for. Green
was very poor, not over-intelligent, and
his fear of the Mormon rulers was so
great that he was their slave and feared
to break away from them lest he would
be discovered and killed. Mrs. Green
has large family OF children. Her
friends have saken steps TO have the
United States authorities investigate
ner husbands death, and interesting de-
velopments are looked for.
