| OA S1u DssC0SS Wsssse A0s o' That a deliberate conspiracy was formed among the officers of the penitentiary and the detect ives to implicate the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners in the assassination of eX-Gov. Stennenberg, and that the con- spiracy was to be backed by false evidence obtained by threats and bribes is in effect the charge made by Steve Adams before the court last week at Wallace: Idaho.
 Adams statement was in sub- stance as follows: ..-s...4 ...,, f... .-.. ~.--
 "On the sixth day after was taken to Boise and put in the cell with Harry Orchard, l was taken to the office of the penitentiary and introduced to Detective Me Partland. He told me about Kelly, the bum, and other men who had turned states evidence and had been set free. He told me some Bible stories, too, but l can not remember what they were, as 1 am not familiar with the Bible. He kept me until 1 or 5 o'clock in the morning, try ing to make me confess.
 Mcfarland told me he want ed to convict Mover, Haywood, Pettibone, St. John and Simp- kins, whom he called 'cutthroats. If I would not help to convict them, he said, 1 would be taken back to Colorado and either hang ed or mobbed. When we parted Mcfarland told me he was my friend. They put me back in the cell with Henry Orchard. WEo talked to me about the need of backing up his story. l was somewhat frightened.
 The next day Mcfarland came said I would do what hD wanted me to do. He told me to think well what 1 was doing. to think of my family and save myself. He said he would sec that my family was cared for.
 When the confession vas made. Mcfarland led me on step by step and showed me all that he wanted me to say. He told me that what 1 said about the Tyler and Boule murders was on ly taken with the idea of making a strong chain of evidence to con- vict the officers of the Western Federation of Miners. He want ed the names of the officers of the Federation used as much as possible all through the confess ion. Two or three days later Warden Whitney brought the cor fession to me to sign.

Iflc OUlISu DIdtcS SClldeC ietot week was truly fulfillment of one of their prophecies that the next president of the United States would either be a Mormon or favorable to the Mormons. v Truly it has come to pass, We like to be respectful to the powers that be, :" but when a president posing as such a lover of the sanctity of the home, ap- points a Mormon as United States marshal, supposed to en- force the laws, and recommends the seating of Shoot it is enough to condemn him to outer dark ness.
 Think of the vice president of the United States inviting Shoot to preside over the senate during his absence, and that too, while the Shoot investigation was go- ing on, It makes one sick to see such catering to a corrupt ele- ment when it is known that there can be no other reason assigned for it but political ones. We are glad to state, however, that the women, along with the good men of the country, will never stop until there shall be embodied in our federal constitution an amendment against polygamy.
 We are like several others who spoke against seating Shoot: If they had read the 'investlga- tion' never, never would they have voted for him.
 What genuine American, man or woman, can remain lndltter- ent in view of the facts. namely: That a rapidly growing and com pact organization of 300, ,O00 peo- pie is stea1fastly maintaining that polygamy is correct in prln- ciple;;' that while they are pre- tending not to teach this socalled principle today, they are in fact teaching it everywhere through out the land, not only by the per sistent circulation of literature containing the socalled divine revelation commanding it's prac- tice, but also by the most per sistent advocacy of it's righteous ness by 2,0O0 travelling mission aries wherever and whenever they can find an auditor who IS prepared to receive it., in the frequently expressed hope that the time will soon come when they will be allowed to practice it without let or hindrance; that every recognized leader of this powerful organization is an open and notorious law-defying poly gamist; that these same leaders, even now, by their anti-Amerlcan methods, do control the political destinies of demagogues and political parties in five states and two territories to such an extent as to make it either impossible to secure legislation against this vile practice, or to secure Its proper enforcement in those states. so that many of the at torneys and officers boldly pro- claim to the public that there is no sentiment in their districts for the enforcement of the laws which were passed for the pro- lection of the home and public morals of the nation, especially in view of the further fact that these same leaders are all the time scheming and planning to secure similar control in other states? In view of these facts is 1t not necessary to secure the amendment and the legislation necessary to bring these shame
 less and defiant polygamists al
 under the jurisdiction of the fed
 eral courts, whose judges and at
 torneys and other officers are no
 dependent for their positions up
