RENOVTNCES MORMON FAITH
Stir in Mormon Circles Caused Dy Ac-
ton of w. n. Wolfe. professor III
Theology in Brighton Young College.

Salt Lake. Utah, January 16-W.
NJ. Wolfe, president of theology in
Brigham Young college, a Mormon IN
stitution at Logan, Utah, has caused
2 stir in Mormon circles, according
to a Logan dispatch The Tribune
prints today by renouncing his belief
in the Mormon faith, refusing to pay
tithes. and severing his relations with
the college. According to Professor
Wolfe. as The Tribune quotes him III
an interview, his change of faith was
due to a trip to Mexico which salts
fed him. he. said. that the Mormon
church had receded from the Wood
ruff manifesto and reinstated polyga-
nous marriages. He found many
young women, who had recently en-
tered into the plural marriage rela-
ton with leading elders Of the Nor
mon church.
Professor Wolfe is quoted as saying
that he sought an explanation or
these conditions of Apostle John
Henry Smith, asking how these pOlyg-
amous marriages could be r~ecOnciled
with the Woodruff manifesto and he
is reported as quoting Apostle Smith
as follows:
why, Brother Wolfe, do you not
understand that the manifesto was
| only a trick devised to beat the devil
| at his own game?'

evidence of those whom Midshipman
Minor Meriwether, Jr., is accused Of
haZing. was given rapidly today after
the court had disposed of the objec-
lions offered by counsel for the de-
tense. Six midshipmen Of the fourth

mony vas positive il four OF these
cases. There was c~Orroboratlye tes-
timony III several instances.
The prosecution closed its case and
the defense examined some of its wit

OF the fourth class men said that they

they had enjoyed the fun and taken

that they believed that they would

classmen told them.

Savannah, Ca, January 16.-The
Greene and Gaynor case has at last
drawn it's tortuous length over the
ground of preliminaries that have
been so desperately fought by counsel
for the defense, and through this, to
the lay mind, wilderness of pleas in
abatement, pleas in Injunction, pleas
in bar and demurrers, the proceedings
have passed to the point where a jury
has been drawn. .
Six deputies were sent out this at
ternoon with summons for seventy
two Jurors, and these are to report on
Thursday morning at II o'clock. None
was drawn from this county, all being
from elsewhere in the district.

constitute payment to the defendants
and that the indictments failed to snow
that Greene and GaynCr ever received
the money. Upon the conclusion OF
Colonel Meldrim's argument, Judge
Speer announced his decision upon the
demurrer, which he overruled. He o o
up the contentious of the defence one
by one, showed where they failed 10
meet his understanding of the law, and
then announced that the defendants
must be brought to trial.
A special plea in bar to the old in
dictment to which the defendants
pleaded not guilty four years ago., was
presented by the defense, disputing the
jurisdiction of the court. An answer
was filed by the governments III
sci. The defendants waived arralgn-
ment and pleaded not guilty. Ad-
1ournment was taken until afternoon.
At the afternoon session b. drawing
Of the jury took place. Special Assls-
tant Attorney General Marion Erwin
suggested to the judge that he draw
the names of 70 men or three panels
of twenty-four each, from the box.
This. he thought, would be sufficient
for the trial of the several issue taat
may go to a jury, as he expects but
few jurors to show disqualificatlonss.
The defense announced that it would
object to the governments proposal to

ed charges. and Judge Speer, before
