under the pledge that it should not be
communicated to the counsel for the de-
Tense or any one outside the court"

YOUNG DENoUNCEs ROBERTS.
aggressive CAMPAIGN to he Made
Against the POIygamist.


New York, Dec. 20.-There were about
200 persons present at the meeting of The
Womans Board of Home Missions of the
Presbyterian Church in this city to-day.
The object of the meeting was to inau-
gurate an aggressive campaign to pre-
vent the seating of Brigham II. Roberts, an
avowed polygamist. as representative from
Utah in the Fifty-sixth Congress. Eugene
Young, grandson of Brigham Houng,
spoke. He said among other things:
There seems to be a disposition in the
East, particularly among the politicians,
but even among the churches, to treat
the revival of the Mormon issue as minor
matter. There is an inclination TO view the
election to Congress of b. II. RoberJs-
a three or four-ply polygamist, still living
in pOlygamy, as an unavoidable outcome
of that condition of Utah, and mere
question of personal morality.
Some day they will see, as those who
know Mormon ambitions see now, that
Mr. Roberts is a mere instrument, the
representative of mighty forces They
will learn that through his election a
people 100000 strong have turned from
American liberty and American morality,
and have taken the initial step toward
the establishment of a hierarchy, foreign
to our institutions and our social laws, IN
the midst of our republic.
IF in dragging polygamy into the House
of REPRESENTATIVES Mr.. Roberts is repre-
senting the defiant sentiment of the whole
Mormon people, then the people must not
rest until Congress has cast him out as a
warning to all covenant breakers ana
DOlVgamists."

San Francisco, Dec. 20-When John p.
Cunning was called to the witness stand
in the Botkin murder trial to-day, he OBJ
durately refused to answer the question
put to him yesterday by Attorney Knight
for The defense, who wished to know the
names of other women with whom Dun
ming had been intimate, other than Mrs.
Botkin, intimacy with whom he admitted.
Dunning spent the night in prison, and
when asked to give information said that
when ii was shown that any woman other
than the accused could be in any way
connected with the taking off of Mrs.
Dunning and her sister, he would give
names of other women.
Mrs. Louise Seeley, a mutual friend of
Mrs. Botkn and Dunning, told of her ac-
ouaintance with them. She denied ever
having sent Mrs. Dunning candy or to
have written anonymously TO Mrs. Dun
ming.
Mr.. Pennington, father Of the deceased,
testified that he had received and read
three anonymous letters sent TO his daugh-
ter.
Daniel T. Ames, the writing expert, of
New York. testified that he had examined
all the writing in the case and was con-
vinced that the anonymous letters the adj
dress on the candy box and the note to
Mrs Cummings little girl were all writ
ten by the same person, and that Mrs.
Botkin was the writer.
