A LIBELL0US PUBLICATION.
The Trbune's Sensation and Untrue Charge
Against lsaac Smith Of Logan
Wakes the Positive and Ridiculous
Declaration that lie f. on Trial
Before the First Presidency.

For two days the Salt Lake Tribune
has endeavored TO create a sensation
out Of an absolute misstatement Of
facts Yesterday morning It grayely
set forth that a notable case = Is
now being heard here behind closed
doors by the First Presidency OF the
Mormon Church" and that "ln addition
to the First Presidency, Apostle George
Teasdale is also sitting as Judge upon
the case"
The paper then says that Isaac
Smith, a member Of the Stake presi-
dency OF Cache county. is accused, and
the charge is that he ruined Emma
Jensen. a young woman who Is now but
seventeen years Of age, though she be-
came a mother in Ma! last" After
further preliminary statement regard
ing the matter the Tribune continues
that Isaac Smith, in whose care the
girl had been placed while her brother
had gone on q mission was suspected
and charged with being the despoilet
OF her Innocence, and that he accused
his young son with being responsible
for the outrage. As a conclusive charge.
the paper states that this is not Smiths
first attempt Of the kind, he having
been guilty Of at least one other such
wrong in the past,
Mr. Isaac Smith Of Logan entered
an emphatic denial OF the charge last
evening. saying that he had absolutely
no knowledge Of such a case being
heard against him by the First Presi-
dency and an inquiry into the facts to-
day developed that Mr.. Smith was not
so accused; that a young son had been
so charged at one time, but he had had
a regular Church trial al the town IN
which he lived, and that he had been
exon0rated. the charges not being sus-
tanned II appears that the girl now
brings forth a new witness 10 give fur
Their testimony IN her behalf, but not
against Mr. Isaac smith The state
ment that that gentleman's conduct Is
being investigated by the First Presi-
dency Is wholly untrue, as Is also the
statement that Apostle Teasdale Is

were guilty. or even accused as the
Tribune intimated. the matter would
