that time it was denied that the prose-
cutions We're of a political nature, but
subsequent developments are proving
the truth Of the assertion.
Yesterday Owen went to County At
torney Putnam with an affidavit in
which he charged the church leader
with unlawful cohabitation. The Of
Tense alleged is similar to the Graham
case, in that it is said to have been
committed in part in Salt Lake county
and in part in Box Elder county. Mr..
Putnam took the matter under advise
ment. telling Owen to visit him again
on Wednesday.
Visited Timmony.
This didn't satisfy the sensation
maker He went next to Police Judge
Tinmony and asked him to issue a
warrant on the affidavit Timmony con-
sented to swear Owen to the affidavit,
but declined to issue a warrant until
he could hear from the county attorney.
Later the police justice and Owen Wis
tied Mr.. Putnam together and talked
the matter over.
The county attorney told Timmony
that he must not issue warrant until
the case had been looked into more
thoroughly He wishes to look up some
CATION. This will occupy large part
of his time until Wednesday, when he
will give his answer.
owens method Of prosecution differs
very materially from that ordinarily
used by complaining witnesses. He has
a habit of stating what he knows in
an affidavit and then presenting that
paper to the county attorney. The
usual method is to submit the facts
to the official and let him draw the Aft
dayit up in proper form
What Affidavit Contains.
The affidavit submitted by Owen yes
terday based a charge against President
Snow on the alleged birth of a child to
Mrs. Mary Jensen Snow, with whom
the president is living in Salt Lake, on
or about Jan. L, 1897. 1t is alleged that
from October. 1896, up to the present
time President Snow has been guilty of
unlawful coha bitation with Mrs. Min
ME Jensen Snow and with Mrs. Sarah
Snow of Brigham City.
In support of his allegations Owen
cites nearly all the prominent Mormons
he knows as witnesses. He also cites
several of President Shows children,
as well as Phoebe and Mary Snow of
Brigham City, the last two, he claims,
being plural wives of President Snow

TITLE OF SITE IS APPROVED.
WORK MAY BEGIN ON THE SALT
LAKE PUBLIC BUILDING.
Proposed to Construct an Edifce.
That Will Cover About 1900
Square Feet of Space.
lsnecial to The Rerald.l

Washington, Oct. THE title of the
site for the new public building at Salt
Lake City has been approved by the at
torney general, and his report was re-.
ceiVed at the treasury department this
morning.
There was some question as to whether
the building could be placed on the lot,
owing to the possibility of the reversion
side of the site of the original grantorss
and still leave the building forty feet from
any other building or lot on which a.
building might be placed.
The supervising architect will obviate'
this difficulty by placing the building
seven feet inside the building line.
The proposition is to construct a build,
ing about 1873 feet square. which will cover
nearly 1900 square feet of space. or.
about 4,000 feet more than is actually
needed.
The draft for 81, the price at which the
lot was offered to the government will.
be mailed to Walker Bros. in a few days.

On its present site was the old opera
house, which was burned down in 1892, the
fire at that time being more disastrous
than the present one, as it swept every
building off the block.
It is not regarded as likely that the
opera house will be rebuilt on its present
site, as there is a strong sentiment in
favor of having the city's play house on
the west side.
