to that circumstance, however, Il mid.
wife by the name Of Thompson living at
Juarez, is reported as saying that Rom,
ney procured from and through her GER
tain drugs intended to prevent eyl'
denccs of his cohabitation with this
woman from reaching the public atten-
ton. They say that he is now treat"
| ing his first wife, who was Miss
Frances Turlcy, with more considera-
ton than formerly, in order to allay
public indignation and TO partially
cover up his other offcndings,
1t might be we'll TO say here that Mrs.
Burl, the mother Of Romney's three
Years ago she lived in the old country
with her husband and children, among
whom were four little daughters. She
embraced the gospel but her hus-
band did not take any stock in IT. He
was prominent citizen, had good chi
ployment, and kept his wife and chill"
dren in comfortable circumstances. But
the glamor Of the polygamous priest
hood was over the woman. and one day,
while her husband was III a noIghborlng
town attending to his business, she left
his bed and board, carrying the four
little daughters with her, and came TO
Zion. Hero she married a man named
Coons as his second wife. He died, and
then she married j. j. Walser as his
third wife, concerning which there is
another story,
Elder James Carroll is second coun'
selor to Bishop John e. Steiner of Co
lonia Pacheco, Mexico. He was Sc.
lected to I'll that office less than a year
ago. In the month of March, 1908, he
married polygamously Miss Annie Burl,
the youngest of the four Burl girls and
a sister of the three polygamous wives
of Miles F. Romney, Jr. The ceremony
in this case was performed by Apostle
Anthony w. lvins at Colonia Juarez,
the recommend having been signed by
the bishop and couutcrsigned by the
president of the stake.
Elder j.. j. Walser of Colonla Juarez,
Mexico, was married TO Mrs. Burl-Coons
as his third wife between four and five
years ago. This is the Englishwoman
whom we have heretofore mentioned,
and the mother of the four Burl girls
the entire lot being married into po.
Iygamy.
Former Bishop Robinson of Colonia
Duban, Mexico, married Miss Maud
Header of Colonia Juarez in the year
1907. The young woman is at present
teacher in the Juarez academy, a
Mormon church institution established
and supported out of tithing money paid
in by homogeneous Mormons in Utah.
Prof Warren Longhurst Of the agrl-
cultural department in the Juarez acad-
cmy is one of the newest Of new po'
lygamists. There is brief but inter
esting story to be told in this particu-
lar case. Last fall Miss Eva Alfred
appeared upon the streets at Colonla
Juarez with one of her hands tied up
as if it had been injured. She e1-
planned to friends that her hand had
become infected with blood poison, and
that she was going to El Paso, Texas,
to have it examined and treated. She
left Immediately. In the most natural
way, too, Prof. Warren Longhurst also
disappeared from his school duties and
the town. Lo and behold, tho next that
is heard of them is that they are seen
on the streets of Salt Lake City to-
getber! And, what is more, some couples
who had come to this city to be mar
ried in the temple afterwards said that
they had seen Prof. Longhurst and Eva
Alfred in the temple at the same time
that they ''went through That was
in the month Of November, 1909. So
Elder Warren Longhurst and Eva ALI
red were not only married polygamous-
" about FIVE months ago, but the cere-

the Mormon church.
Elder +. l., Taylor Of Colonia
Juarez, Mexico, has become polyg
'amist within year past. AT Juarez
were living Elder Scott and his plural
family. One of Scott's polygamous
wives left him, and it was this Sister
Scott that Elder Taylor took as his
third wife Elder Taylor is the father
of Apostle Matthias f. Cowley's latest
plural wife, whom he married in McXi-
co, and who still lives at Colonia Jua-
rez and is we'll known by the public
to be Cowley's wife.
Elder Ed Eyring OF Colonia Juarez,
Mexico, had no wife at all before the
Woodruff manifesto was issued in the
year 1890. He has two now; and both
of them arc sisters of Miles p. Rom
ney, Jr. Eyring is now living at
Juarez with both women, rearing chill
dren by both.
