Residents of the Swedish colony in
Barre take sharp exceptions TO the
statement made by a Mormon elder of
the Barre mission in an interview given
The Times Montpelier correspondent and
luoted in yesterdays paper. The elders
that he was thrown into
dungeon while in Sweden and then forced
to leave the country, it is claimed, is
misleading. Those who take issue with
phis utterance assert that the Mormon's
doctrines. which he is alleged to have
attempted to promulgate in Sweden,
were received so coldly by the authori-
lies and the people that he was asked
% take his departure. Local Swedes,
while protesting loyalty TO their adopted
say they do not like to have
false impressions of the home land cir
,ulated. and that free speech, when il
Toes not include intolerabe doctrines,
5 not attacked by those in authority.
rhe interview as given out purports to
BE a statement of i'll treatment received
