New York (SpeciaD The Danites
are moi all dead. Their power may still
reach from Zion to Babylon. Remem-
trr the old doctrine of Blood Atone
znrnt. Beware OF blasphcmous stories
against the saints"
This is the startling communication
received by Miss Grace Talbot Hadlcy,
Of No. 2o4 Lcnox avenue. She is
highly intellectual young woman, who
has moved to New York from Salt Lake
City within the last year, and the mys-
teTious communication she received IS
attributed by her to the fact that she has
been an earnest fighter against the infu-
snce of Mormonism.
Shortly after coming to New York
Miss Hadlcy published a book called
Much Married Saints and Some Sim
rcIs" Then. She says, she began to re-
reive communications from indirect
sources insinuatlng that the publication
of stories about Mormonism was not
pleasing in certain high quarters.
Much Married Saints and Some Sim
Tcrs" is n collection OF short stories,
selling OF the sulfcrngs OF plural wives
IN Utah and OF the methods by which
young women are induced To go TO the
land of Mormonism.
For seven years Miss Iladlcy, who is
st present teacher in the public schools,
lived in Salt Lake City. where she also
taught.
II was so impressed with the horrors
OF Mormonism that determined to
make study of the religion" she said.
THE denial OF the existence OF plural
wives and the real state of affairs in
Salt Lake made my blood boil. ! lived
IN a Mormon house for three months,
and later lived in the Fifth East Hotel,
which the United States built for the
Use of plural wives.
when the law prohibiting polygamy
was passed the Mormons asked: What
are we to do with our plural wives"
Uncle Sam built big house for them,
since been bought and made into hotel,
and it was there | lived part of the time
while l was in Utah.
when I was in Salt Lake City
was often rebukcd for taking so strong
view of the servilc position of women,
and was warned several times not to
give expression in print to any OF my
ideas.
Il had antagonized some of the cid
crs by trying to help several unfortu-
nate plural wives. and consequently my
opinions were known. When | wrote
my collection of impressions l had no
idea that any action would be taken
against me by the Mormons, for ! left
Salt Lake City when it was published
The ways of offenders are. however,
watched with minuteness. How the
writer of the letter just received knew
my address is beyond me. as | have
moved three times since ! have been in
New York To say that | am fright
encd would be cxaggcrating my scnsa-
fions, for / do not believe that the old
practices of the Danitcs are ever put
into effect now. OF course. you still
hear queer stories of what happens to
people opposing Mormonism, but can
not believe that any harm will bcfdll

Every statement made in my book
is true, but it is evident that whoever
wrote the letter is afraid may write
sill further OF conditions in Utah"
