features attracted unusual attenuoh-
r,e,, were the remarkable motorcycle act

These are two widely divergent features

this is an illustration Of variety. The at

The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-09-19

Editor The Tribune;-I propose to
give to the readers of The Tribune a
brief history OF the wicked act, or |
might say a series Of wicked acts, OF
p polygamous bishop in the Mormon
church.
We read in the Bible that "the
good' king David had Just man put
to death after having debauched his
wife that he might marry the woman,
which he afterwards did.
In the years 1861 L, with my fam,
lily. was living at small settlement
called New Harmony, twelve miles
flies" During the time Of my resi-.
dence there a man by the name of
Richard Prior. with his family, came
TO Toquerville to reside. Prior was n
bookkeeper by profession and n native
Of England. He not only brought his
own family with him, but also brought
his sister and her family. His sister
was the wife Of man named John
Carrie, who was also boolSkeeper. Mr..
Carrie did not accompany the family to
America, he having an engagement with
mercantile firm which was doing busl-
ness IN Ireland, and was bound by con
tract for period Of one md one-half
years after his family sailed for Amer
lea with his brother. law. Soon after
his arrival in Toquervillc, Prior was
made tithing clerk, with good salary,
and Mrs. Garle was IN n short time
given position as school teacher. The
bishop Of TOQuervilie at that time was
man by the name of Thomas Willes.
He was a native Of Kentucky, but was
m old Mormon. had lived in Nauvoo
and had known the prophet Joseph
Smith in his (Willcs 's) early manhood.
| Willes was Il man without education,
|
| days Two wives responded to his ca
resses; and they, like himself, were UNI
educated.
Mrs. Carrie had not been there more
than SIX months when the 'cood
bishop began to make himself, to put
| it as mild as possible, verv agreeable
toward her. Mrs Carrie. although n
woman of some refinement and educa-
tion. received the advances of the
Hgood" bishop in a degree that was
highly pleasing to that ecclesiastical
functionary On several occasions he
had spoken 10 her, always In the pres
| ence Of his wives. on the subject Of the
''eternity of the marriage covenant. -
Sister Carrie had only heard Il smatter-
ing on the subject, but in short time
became interested in the principle.
Bishop Willes told her that an angel
of the Lord had revealed the doctrine
| " VI" Piup"St oceSpi' SHifsh III -NHu
VOC. and that no marriage contract was
Of any nvnil except when solemniZed
in house set apart and dedicated for
that purpose exclusively, and that all
marriages must be performed by man
! having divine authority to solemnizc
such covenants. Mrs, Carrie drank deep
of those delusive draughts. and was
much pleased to hear the doctrine ex-
pounded by n true servant of God who
| had had the privilege of being taught
these principles by the prophet himself
Mrs. Carrie was ready for the ordeal and
would certainly teach the doctrine to
her husband when he came to gather
with the people OF God She was per
fcctly innocent OF the wicked plan
which Bishop Willes had in his mind
with relation TO herself.
In the course of time Prior, who had
been installed as clerk, took to drink.

A POLYGAMOUS BISHOPS WICKED ACT

I got the woman consent to become his
third wife, Bishop Thomas Willes and
the wife of Carrie took a trip to Salt
Lake City, went through the endowment
house and were married for time and
all eternity.
Whether some one in Toouerville no.
titled Mr.. Carrie of what was going on
will never be known. On the night
after Willes and Mrs. Carrie had been
married in tho endowment house, John
Carrie, instead of hunting down the man
that had led his wife astray and kill
ing him, in moment of despair COM
mitted suicide by shooting himself
through the head.
When Willes and Mrs. Carrie came
back to Toquerville they learned that
Richard Prior, the woman s brother,
had been on one continual drunken de.
bauch during the whole time they had
cnraged and promptly scharged
Prior from service in the tithing of
fee Prior kept on drinking until he
became mere savage, threatening the
lives of his wife and two small chill
dren.
During the time that Prior was in a
drunken stupor Mrs. Prior and her two
small children left their home and went

followed the woman and found her. He
was admitted into the room where she
was, and with a revolver which he had
concealed upon his person he shot and
killed his wife and both children. Mr.,
Beattie. who was in another part of the
bouse, heard the shots and rushed into
the room, where he saw Prior with the
smoking revolver in his hand. Beattie
ran back into another room where he
kept Ballard rife, but when he took
it down he found it was not loaded,
and Prior went away unhurt. He went
back TO mis- home. Over the door of
his house there was n porrico which he
got into, with revolver ia hand. A num-
Der Of citizens went toward bs house
and demanded that he surrender. which
he refused to do, threatening to shoot
any one who came near his residence.
Finally, TO dispose Of him, a son OF
Bishop Willes. who was a good shot,
crept near enough to put shot through
Prior's neck, putting him 10 death,
