c. r Rosengren, of Pleasant Grove

as she has before done to her parents

Indifferent and manifested no DISPOSE

al the Montana house in salt Lake

by the relatives. which We're replied to
with ridicule, Pierpoint stating that ne
knew what the law was in such mat
tiers. A letter written by Annie TO
Picrpoint was shown the prosecuting

tense sorrow on her part. and she states
that she would rather have her head
severed from her body than that she
should be SO outraged and disgraced.
