The supreme court today handed down
an opinion reversing the judgment OF
the lower court In the case Of Mary
Caroline Riddle w Isaac Riddle, APP
pellant, which was appealed from the
Fourth district court at Provo, Judge
Booth presiding The opinion holds
that the plural marriage between plain
tin ana defendant, which took place
IN the Logan Temple on Nov. 3, 1856
was Illegal and hence the court has no
power to compel defendant TO support
the plaintiff herein.
Mrs. Riddle In her complaint asked to
be awarded separate maintenance and
the court below rendered a decree In
her favor awarding her SIS per month
and compelling defendant 20 provide a
suitable residence for her al Provo. The
opinion of the supreme court, which
was written by chief Justice Baskln
and concuTed In by Justices Bartch
and McCarty holds that, inasmuch as
Riddle had Two other wives living at
the time he married plaintiff, his mar
riage with her was Illegal. and he Is not
legally bound TO support her. However.
Il II the opinion Of the court That he
became. ana still Is. morally bound TO
support his plural wives and their chill
dren hegOtten by him, but as secular
courts are powerless 10 enforce any
but legal obligations, the Judgment
must be- reversed and the complaint
dismissed
