BiRMIEGHAM, Ala, Feb. IS. George
Preston, Of Clay County, Ala, has re-
turned home from Utah, where he went
ten months ago as convert to Mormon
ism. He tells thrilling story OF the
treatment Of converts by the Mormons
when they reach Utah. He says the
women converts are married to elders,
who in most cases have three or four
wives already, and II they offer the
slightest resistance they are fogged or
otherwise punished until they submit
The men who have been promised homes

then tney are turned adrift to live as

Preston and his young wife were con-
verted to Mormonism about year ago
by two elders who were proselyting in
Clay County. They sold all they had
and went to Utah. Preston says his
wife was stolen from him and carried to
Salt Lake City, he thinks, but he was
never able to find any trace of her. He
was then by threats compelled to give
the church all the money he had, about
$500, and then he was told he must look
out for himself. He started home three
months ago and worked his way back.
