With a fifth wife, however, came
disaster to the family. John w
Young met the beautiful Luella
Cobb, and they were married accord
ing to the laws of the church. His
infatuation for his wife was remarked
throughout Salt Lake City. He
seemed to care little for his other
families, devoting himself to her,
taking her on his journeys to New
York and London, and giving little
of his time to his other wives. Their
children were received at his home,
but it was not theirs in fact.
His first wife, the mother of Will
lam Hooper, the alleged murderer,
resented this infatuation. Her be-
lief in mormonism departed and she
sought divorce in the civil courts,
and moved away from Utah, taking
with her the younger children. The
elder sons remained with the father,
and for time he gave them a home.
When he went to London to negO-
tate a loan to build a railway which
he intended to lay between Salt Lake
City and Denver, his sons, John Wes-
ley and William Hooper, were MEM
bers of the household over which his
wife Luella presided. They We're
given such schooling as was possible
in London.
Such an arrangement could not
last however. When John w. Young
returned to Utah to build his rail-
way, William Hooper came with
him, and when the father returned
to London the young man was left to
make his own way. There was no
place for him i'll the home of the
favorite wife, and he was sent first
to a cattle ranch owned by his father
in northern Arizona, and then was
brought north again to work upon
the railway line. He was then II or
10 years old. He was left practically
homeless and to his own devices.
One of the sons of John w. Young
had disappeared and nothing has
been heard of him since by his fami-
ly. Another, a full brother, after a
wild career, had gone to the peniten-
tiary for robbery. William Hooper
was turned from his fathers employ,
and when about 81 years old, began
his career Of wandering, which took
him almost from one end of the
earth to the other.
For II time several years afterward
he seemed to be under the good in
fluences OF his mother, but his wild
habits had become too strong, and
about four years ago he broke away
from her and started for London,
hunting for his father, to demand
living. He arrived in New York
money, and worked his way
to London on board a steamship.

William Hooper, however, found
no welcome from his father. He was
furnished with money to return tC
Salt Lake City, and was told he must
rehabilitate himself. By this time
however, he had become a confirmed
wanderer, who preferred to live by
his wits. Some of his relatives in
this city aided him materially and
saw that he obtained good employ
ment, but it was not long before the
discovery was made that he spent
the money he thus obtained on wo-
men and drink.
He left Salt Lake City about three
years ago, and it was understood
that his mother had again undertak-

the time with her in Seattle, and at
tempted to do newspaper work, but
about Is months ago he returned to
Salt Lake City and then went on to
New York, having told his friends
that his father would help him.
Those who knew him here believe
that he has remained a mormon, de-
spite his wsnderings. His father is
known to be strong In the faith,
