SULLIVAN MAY TESTIFY
Richard Deming Asks That His Com
panion in Crime BE Called
As Witness.

Richard Deming, the desperate con-
Wet and companion in crime of MUIR
derer Joe Sullivan, was again before
Judge Diehl this morning to plead to
the charge of attempting to break out
of the county Jail and for destroying
jail property by saving one of the bal
of his cell at the county Jail on Jan.
q last
Deming was in charge of Deputy
Warden Billy Davis of the state prs-
on, The convict's hands were cuffe,l
to rings In a strong belt which encir-
cled his body and he was closely watch
ed every second while In the courtroom
and to and from the state prison.
He asked that the complaint be again
read TO him and after listening to the
same entered n plea Of not guilty. The
case was set for preliminary hearing
Tuesday the 9th. Demlng said;
Il want some witnesses" He gave
the names of Sheriff Emery, Deputy
Sheriff Joe Sharp, Jailer Corliss and
convict Joe Sullivan. He will try to
prove by the latter, 1t is said, that
Sullivan sawed the bars. Sullivan is
serving q life sentence and would prob
ably be more than willing to so testify
inasmuch as he has nothing 10 fear and
such testimony might save Demng
II will be remembered, however, that
on the occasion of Sulilvan's trial in
the district court, both Deming and the
convicted murderer testified that Dem
ing was the man who sawed the bar
on the occasion referred to. If Sullivan
changes his testimony In this respect
for Deming, the records of the district
court will be placed IN evidence.

Fillmore Man Qualities
For Tribune Correspondent

Down In Fillmore, Willard county,
they have a citizen with a dedicated
purpose to spend the rest of his life
eating Mormons and then telling the
Salt Lake Tribune how he likes the
diet.
Time was when Utah had here a fed
eral judge named Drummond, whose
wife wrote letter TO the people, from
the states, that would have dlsgraced
and ostracized him in any community.
He did just what George NJ Veile now
proposes TO do when the natural thing
happened here, and the fight represent
ed by the Tribune had a recruit then,
Just as the same fight has another now.
How II comes about is shown by the
following from the Progress Review or
Fillmore, consisting OF letters from the
man who Is going TO write anti-Mor-
mon articles for the Tribune with
comment from the father of a girl on

ELDER G. A. SMITH.

Elder George Albert Smith spoke
briefly. following Elder Thomas He
said THAT the Latter day Saints believe
In eternal life In It's strictest sense:
that before man came to earth he lived
in the spirit world and there had a spir-
itual tabernacle; and that when he
came to this world his spirit was given
Il tabernacle composed of eaI-ths ele-
ments. At death the body goes back
to mother earth, but the spirit, the in-
teligence never dies, but passese into
another sphere of action, some day 10
be reunited with the once earthly body
and to exist eternally.
The IAtter-day Saints are not exclu-
sive in their belief and practise. They
all women as their sisters All are
Gods children, and are here because
they kept their first estate. and in the
hereafter will be rewarded just in the
measure that they merit.
To believe that as man Is God once
was and that as God is man may be- is
not improper. neither can II be called
sacrilege Man has within him the at
tributes of deity and as he develops
and progresses. he Is constantly placing
himself I'm n position TO partake of
greater things. Men and women are
given different talents and their prog
rsss here and hereafter Will be meas
ured by the manner IN which they make
use OF them. Man will be held respons-
ible for the light he receives. and saliva
ton is intended for all and viii be re-
ceived by as many as are willing to be
saved.

The large congregation that assemb-
led nj the tabernacle yesterday after
noon was addressed by Elders Matho-
nIhah Thomas and George Albert
Smith, The services were presided
over by President John r. winder and
the orening prayer and the benedlctlon
were offered by Elders Angus NJ. Can

cation joined With the choir In sing
ing the "DoXology."
ELDER NJ. THOMAS.
Elder Thomas referred to the oeca-
sion Of Decoration day, and said that
u was one of the beautiful things that
mad its origin in war, thing any
thing but beautiful in itself. Had heed
been given to the warning voice of one
inspired of the Lord the nation would
not today he mourning the death of
many thousands of her sons who fell
while engaged in internal strife. How
ever, the Lord overruled everything
for the best, and preserved the Union
IL is meet that day should be set
apart upon which the dead should he
especially remembered and honored,
and the act of covering the graves of
the departed with flowers should be
signalized In the spirit Of tho occasion,
and not become merely an outward
form.
The speaker recited the story OF
Lazarus and the facts concerning his
resurrection TO life by the Savior, an
incident strictly In conformity with
spiritual and natural laws. The resur,
rection Of the Savior was a reality, and
the body He possessed after he had
arisen from the tomb was indeed Il
material body. Jesus was the key OF
the resurrection, and in the same man
ner that He was raised, so will all
he brought forth from the grave, TO
receive again the body they possessed
In life.
The Latter-day Saints are criticized
for being materialistic in their religious
views because they believe that the
Father and the Son are beings pos
sessed of material bodies. These priu-
cIples are part of the gospel and are
true. as are the other doctrines per-
tanning thereto.
