mer, the couple that eloped from Nephi
some days ago, aud were later arrested
on the charge Of adultery and placed
In the county jail here were released
from custody this afternoon, Their re-
lease Is due to the reluctance OF Mr.
Palmer To- testify against his wife or to
prosecute her any further which action
on his part would make 1t a very hard
matter TO convict them,
County Attorney Christensen stated
that Mrs, Palmer has promised 10 re-
turn 10 her home In Nephl and take
carr Of her children and to mend her
ways In general and that she and her
husband have become reconciled 50
that his refusal TO lend his aid to the
prosecution has made Il impossible to
convict the parties. II Is stated that
Mrs Palmer maintains that nothing
improper occurred between herself and
Whiting except that IL was improper for
her to be- with him and TO elope with
him.
In view Of the above facts Mr. Chris
Jensen thought ii advisable to dismiss
the case and both parties were released
