INFORMATION
WAS INSUFFICIENT
John H. Williamson, a State Con-
yct, Now a Free Man.
WAS GIVEN FOUR YEARS.
Supreme Court Holds That the Charge
Against Him Was Not Properly
Drawn Up,

The Supreme court handed down an
opinion this afternoon In the case Of the
State We John II. Williamson, appellant,
reversing the judgment Of the trial
court, with instructions TO sustain the
demurrer and dismiss the case.
The defendant was convicted of car
nally knowing a iifteen-year-old girl In
Iron county October 10, 1898, and SEN
fenced to four years In the State prison.
A demurrer was fled to the informa-
tlon on the grounds that 1t did not state
facts sufficient 20 constitute a crime.
The demurrer was overruled by the
, trial court and the prisoners
counsel assigned this as error.
One Of the reasons urged by
counsel why the information failed
90 charge a crime against the defendant
was not alleging that the girl, Belle An
derson, was not at the time OF the Of
tense the wife Of Williamson.
The court holds that when an act
under some circumstances Is unlawful,
and under others Is innocent, an In
dictment or information which falls TO
alleEe the special circumstances which
make the act criminal, does not charge
the accused with the commission Of any
crime"
The attorney general contended. that
the allegation that the parties were
not married 10 each other being mega
tive In character was not necessary In
the Information, but was matter OF
defense. The Supreme court. however,
says that where the negative matter,
az In the case at bar, is a constituent
element Of the crime, II must be al
legged In the information.
The opinion was by Justice Baskin.
and concurred In by Chief Justice
Barteh and Justice Miner.

LAND CASE DECIDED.
Supreme Court Afiirms Judgment in
Case Of Smith w. Jones ct al.


The Supreme court today affirmed the
Judgment OF the lower court In the case
u Robert X. Smith VS. r. T. Jones et al,
appellants, and the same plaintiff VS.
J. L. Forbes, ct al, appellants.
In these two actions plaintin sought
10 quiet title In him TO one-ffth interest
in the surface OF certain parcel OF
land In Bingham canyon, and for par
tition thereof. Bv agreement both cases
were consolidated. and the court below
found in favor Of The plaintiff, from
which Judgment the defendant APP
pealed.
Appellants contended that the lower
court erred In holding that a certain
contract, introduced 10 the defense, did
not constitute a covenant running with
the land. The plaintiff on the other
hand, insisted that the contract was
merely an option 10 purchase. with a
license 20 extract mineral from the
land. The Supreme court comedies
with this latter view and afiirms the
judgment OF the trial court. There
were other questions presented by the
attorneys for appellants. but the court
did not deem them OF sufficient i'm
portance 10 discuss in the decision
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice Bartch, Justices Miner and
Baskir concurring.
