With the assertion that the members OF
the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-ddy
Saints are living better lives than ever
before. that they paid more tithes during
1896 than in any other year in the history
Of the church, and that as a result the
bonded indebtedness of the church has
been wiped cut. President Joseph p.
Smith opened his address at the seventy
eighth annual conference Of the churcn
in the tabernacle yesterday forenoon.
President Smith denied the charges that
have been made to the effect that thu
officials of the church have been divert
ing the tithes to their own personal use.
by saving: Not one general authority Of
the church draws a dollar from the nth
ing fund for his own use and profit
Where the Money Goes.
President Smith then proceeded to ex-
plain where this money goes, SAYING:
Il want to take you into a secret. In
the past money belonging to the church
has been used to help start a number Of
institutions. such as the H. c. NJ. l..
the sugar factories, and other enterprises.
Every cent of the amount so invested has
been returned to the church. the stock
Of all these concerns is now paying divi-
dends and from these dividends the eX-
penses of the general authorities of the
church are paid. We are not using one
cent of your tithing except for the pGT-
pose for which it was intended. When
you go home and hear some of the Old
charges about what is being done with
the tithing fund, ! want you to say that
We are not using this fund for the pur-
poses which they accuse us of; that the
tthing fund is intact and We have n
little to spare. And I would like to say
to some of those who have charged Us
with Misrepresentation of this fund, 'Pul
that in your pipe and smoke it "
Church Debt Is Paid.
In referring to the general financial
condition of the church the preSideu1
said: To-day the church does not owe
one cent TO anyone that it cannot pay.
We do not want to borrow money and We
do not have TO borrow any. We expect
to see the day in the near future when

he said: 1t is the duty of the various
church officers, especially the bishops. to
look after the temporal as well as the
spiritual wants of the members. There Is
no officer in the church who is selected

BIG SURPRISE
FOR DEFENSE
Sensation in the Leslie Murder
Trial and One Defendant
Greatly Agitated.

Chicago, April 5.-The state today
sprang a surprise upon the defense in
the trial of Leonard Leopold and How
ard Nicholas, for the murder of Mrs.
Margaret Leslie, the actress.
At the opening of court Assistant
States Attorney Short called to the
witness stand a tail, well dressed wo-
man. who gave her name as Miss
Phyllis Campbell Of indianapolis. She
testified that she had received from
Nicholas about a week ago a letter in
which he requested her to assume the
name of Grace Kimberlin." Instead
of doing SO. the young woman came TO
Chicago to give her testimony.
Knew the Defendant.
She .said she had been acquainted
with Nicholas for some time, having
known him while he was in the ,hcat-
,icaI business. She declared that, 50
far as she knew, nobody of the name
Ct Kimberlin had ever lived at her adj
dress in indianapolis. That had been
her home for many years, she said.
Nicholas. while upon the stand, testi-
fed that he had loaned some money
to a woman named Kimberlin. and that
: security she Hdu given ilfl one OF
the diamonds which was found in his
possession after the murder of Mrs.
Leslie, and was supposed to have been
stolen from ner.
Miss Campbell said she had burned
the letter from Nicholas.
Accused Man Agitated.
While she vas testifying Nicholas
showed much agitation, and whispered
in an excited manner TO mis- counsel:
The attorneys for the defense were
completely taken by surprise. as they
had no previous knowledge of the eN-
istence Of Miss Campbell, and had fCl-
lowed the story of Nicholas regarding
the loan to Miss Kimberlin."
Miss Campbell declared that she had
never borrowed money from Nicholas.
and had never placed any diamonds in
his possession.
Nicholas then took the stand in his
own defense. He denied that ne had
ever asked Miss Campbell TO assume
the name of Kimberlin. but admitted
having written her letter.
At the conclusion of his testimony
the case was closed and the final ar
guments were begun.

whole business of summoning hired
men to testify for one side or the
other in a case involving human
life or libe.ty is immoral. 1t re-
duces the judicial processes to a
commercial basis. The court itself
should secure such witnesses
should protect them from confusing
inqhisitions and should insure that
their findings are presented to the
jury in clear and compact form.
Such system would eliminate the
confdence-destroying element of

them and would safeguard the in
