opes that the pictures OF the Mormon
Temple interior which were offered for
sale by Max Florence, now at the Imperial
Hotel in New York. were taken by Gis-
bert Ludwig Gerhart Bossard, a young
German converted to Mormonism. who
cording to Bossard's father. Theodore
Bossard. the young man planned for
three years before he had the oppor-
tunity to get the pictures. Then he
found his success in the friendship of
Gottlieb Wutrach. an assistant gardener
on the Temple grounds who had a key
to the Temple.
According to the senior Bossards = state
ment the photos were taken last June
some time in the daytime and others at
night by fiashlight

The elder Iossard said that his son told
him that he negotiated with Joseph +.
Smith. president Of the Mormon Church,
for the sale of the negatives but that
this came to nothing.
The father also says that his son told
him, and that he knew it to he fact,
that detectives had followed Gisl,ert for
weeks at time. and that in his absence
his house had been ransacked in an
attempt the elder man believes. to find
the negatives. AZ they were not in the
house nothing in the house was carried

2i years old. When We first arrived he
was Latter Day Saint in good standing
However. he soon fell away from the
Church. and although he says he still
