Show b iHE SALT LAKE TIMES, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1890 I A VETERAN JAIL-BIR-I L0STHISLU- C-Ucal purposes of the temples. Mr. Dyer asked mo what his compensation should, be as receiver, and after a care-ful deliberation I replied, "that he was entitled to at least tho salary of an executor." Continuing Mr. Kichards said; "Mr. Dyer again called upon me in reference to the eompensatiou he was entitled to and an understanding was reached whereby he was to demand $35,00(1-- " Questioned by Commissioner Strong, the witness replied that in the discus-sion of the disposal of property, he had not consulted with Mr. Dyer, who was silent in the transaction." Mr. Dyer at no time took part in the consultations, nor did Dyer's attorney, Mr. Williams. "At the last consultation it was agreed that there should be a linal decree of WHEN DYER-M- IN.

The solicitor general examined abstracts and titles, and as I understand it the tithing yards and temples in Logan, St. George, Manti and other places are held by ward corporations, composed of members of tho church. As far as I am concerned T feel that the govern-ment has got all the property belonging to it in its suit against the church, llad never an understanding with the re-ceiver or his attorney relative to keep-ing up the litigation of suits now pend-ing for the recovery of property in Ogilen and other places. I have' my doubts as to property now in litigation as being church property. I would like to answer what the purposes and ob-jects of the corporations owning the temples at Logan and St. Geargo as now organized. The articles of incor-poration will show that," remarked the witness. Upon being taken in hand by Mr. Varian and asked for his views in ref-erence to the officers of tho Mormon church as to how they were chosen described tho manner in which they elected. Mr. Richards said that he hah no consultation with Mr. Peters as at-torney for Mr. Dyer regarding tho dis-position of the property. Adjourned until 2 o'clock. Afternoon Mention. LeGrand Young was called to the stand at 2:1.") o'clock. He said he was one of the principal attornies of tho church under the present suit. He rep-resented the church iu all the matters in issue, and in tho conference, as he understood it, tho realty and property of the church was to be turned over to the government and receiver under the decree. In reference to tho church farm the witness said that the transfer according to Mr. Peter's decision was transfer-able to tho government, and thcGardo house, tithing oflico and tabernacle was church property and belonged to the government under Jhe decree. Re-garding cattle, sheep and personal properly it was in a mixed shape and a compromise; wan made for $75.00(1 in cash. The witness stated that some of the property which the government had designs on was not theirs, rightfully under tho decree, and they threw it into courts to have it contested. Mr, Young then viewed tho par-ticulars of the surrender, and acknowledged that any transfers or compromises made wero in harmony with tho decree. "They kept insisting," said the wit-ness, "on something we did not have. We gave I hem all we had, pending the. final decree. Mr. Peters declared that certain property was owned by the church, and we insisted that it was not. Previous to the passage of the escheat law tho properly they claimed had been transferred to the stake," added the witness, "but I could not be made to believe so." Mr. Young could not remember tho dates when tho compromise was made, and when the property was turned over to tho re-ceiver which he laid cluim to. For one bo fought the transfering of the Desoret Telegraph slock to the government. The witness could not express an opin- ion as to whether properly the govern- ment was entitled to the'properly that was escheated under tho decree, believ-ing that the people living in wards con-trolled their own property and the church had nothing to do with it. There is but ono church, but many branches. They maintain a local government, but practically they are under ec-clesiastical rule. "The temple is treated as distinct and personal property not controlled bv the church proper," answered Mr. Young in re-sponse to tho iiuestion. Tho witness then enlightened tho court as to tho manner in which they deal with who are people sometimes antagonistic to the church. Mr. Williams asked Mr. Young if the investigation before Commissioner Spraguo was conducted under the au-thority of tho government. Mr. Young replied "Yes," and acknowledged that at tho investigation it was proven that there was certain property owned by the church which the government was entitled to and involved tho suits that followed. When this report closed at 3 o'clock Mr. Young was still being questioned by Mr. Williams. Testimony given by Frank II. Dyer, receiver of tho Mormon church at the investigation which was resumed before Special Commissioner Stone this morning, opened with a question advanced by District Attorney Varian relating to a statement made yesterday by Mr. Dyer regarding the manner in which he came in possession of the church farm by a compromise. "That was the Jordan slock farm, was it not?" interrupted Mr. Williams. "That question is foreign from any-thing 1 have asked'" retorted Mr. Varian, adding with some venom, "if this occurs again I'll resent it." "You cannot resent it any too soon," retaliated Mr. Williams, anil when mat-ters looked warlike, Commissioner Strong put in his oar and stated that he would not allow any blood shed in his presence. The district attorney then dug down into a musty heap of papers, and re-vived with emphasis of animus testi-mony given on a previous investigation by Mr. Dyer. The witness denied that he had KiiHieiont evidence when seizing books and safes of lhe church to justify him in taking possession of lhe church farm. When ho took possession of tho farm ho had a talk with business men relative to lhe value of the farm, and he decided from views extended as to tho worth of tho farm that it was not up to the standard us reality was then having a boom. In tho matter of his compensation as receiver in tho farm matter, Mr. Dyer stated that the church withdrew oppo-sition to bis claim, saying "that it made no dill ereuce to I hem (meaning the church) what was paid me." "I," said Mr. Dyer, "niade a personal solicitation to the church people to make no oppo-sition to my claim. I asked them what they thought was a reasonable compen-sation and they replied that 1 was en-titled to anything that was reasonable." "Tho attorney general," continued Mr. Dyer, "was consulted in reference to my acts as recehor from time to time and letters sanctioning my action were received from him." "Have you-fonn- those letters'' ask-ed the district attorney. "I think we have. I wouldn't bo positive as to that. My clerk cau an-swer that I think," responded Mr. Dyer. - "Issue a subpeona for tho clerk," was tho advico given by Commissioner Stone lo tliti prosecuting attorney. "If the originals can not bo found, I will telegraph for a copy of them," volunteered the witness. "It's not necessary," spoke up Mr. Williams, "the clerk informs me that he has the letters." Mr. Varian here rested and the wit-ness was taken in hand by Mr. Will-iams. In response to quostons he said that he was no parly to the liual decree and was not consulted. Relating lo the' leasing of the farm Mr. Dyer stated that Mr. Wolcott was in charge of the farm as his representative during his absence from the cily. Mr. Dyer re-membered how tin! interests of the church, tithing yard, etc., were seized. It was represented by threo trustees, nud the church denied ownership to any tithing yards in tho territory out-side of thoso in Salt Lako city. Ho asked tho supreme court in relVreuce to the leases on the property seized, and he was authorized to e them. Mr, Dyer said he handled the property the sumo as ho would his own personal affairs, nud was watchful that it was not used for immoral purposes. Ho leased tho properly for the best terms possible, except the first leasing of the the church farm. District Attorney Varian took the witness in hand again, anil in answer to it question replied that tho attorneys did not wholly and solely get their in-formation from him Tlioy secured the most of it from testimony 'furnished be-fore Commissioner Spraguo relative to tho mailers involved. Mr. Dyer gave it as his opinion, through consultation with Mr Peters that tho attorney gen- eral and Mr. Peters had an understand-ing as to the settlement of the prop-erty, but as to that he would not bo ponitive as he felt he had no authority to interfere with the powers of the at-torney general. Mr. Dyer stated that ho had spent the most of his time tak-ing care of the property he had seized, and had not reached for more. He had his hands full with what he had hold of and stated that the sheep alone would require full tho time of four receivers. The reason ho had not seized other property was that ho had it located, and could altach it at any time lie wanted to. He gavo as another reason why ho did not attach tho property in question was that he had been advised by his counsel not to do so as the question was pending a decision in the supremo court of the United States. Mr. Dyer said that he did not in-terfere with any negolintionseutered in-to between the respective lawyers of the tho church and receiver with tho attor-ney general relative to the settlement of the property seized. lie also gave it as his opinion that it was a serious mis-take iu seizing tho sheep, as it caused an expense over which he bail no con-trol. Replying to Mr. Williams, Mr. Dver stated that he made out monthly re-ports regarding his duties as receiver, and that they were accessible to the government authorities. The witness next described decisions of the I'nited States court relative to the sheep and property of the Mormon church, all of which has been previously published. Regarding the tillo lo the temples, Mr. Overstated that those at Logan and other places were in the names of indi-viduals and were not in the name of the Saints. Mr. Varian asked Mr. Dver if ho was not aware of the fact tliat the build ings were being used for tho services of tho Mormons. Ho replied that he thought they were, but was not posi-tie- . F. S. Richards, an attorney, next took tho stand and in response to a question said he had been one of the at-torneys for the receiver. He stated that there was certain property claimed by tho receiver, right to which was denied bv the de-fendants, who purchased it and then turned it over to the receiver upon de- - maml. The witness did not know of any property belonging to tho church that had not been seized by the receiver, nor knew of tithing yards that wero being used by the church. Speaking of the temples ho said they were not church property, but were held by trustees and corooralioiis. Ho could not annate ititelliircuUv ua.

One of the toughest and most incorri-gible characters who have fallen into the cordial embrace of the patrolman for a long time is the notorious "Yorkey Pat," whose escapades have made him a terror to the authorities of the north-west ami who has until recently been a hunted fugitive. Yorkey, to whom Marshal Yonng has been extending tho "liberties" and hospitalities of the lockup, was this morning discharged .with an order that applied with equal emphasis to tive others, to take leave of the metropolis in two hours. The distinguished sextette, whose portraits are among the celebrities of the rogues' gallery for future reference, lost no time, but shaking the urban dust from their toot-toe- shoos took to the county road. Yorkey was probably the most interesting of the delectable constella-tions who will in all probability make their presence manifest before the ter-ritorial limits are crossed. It was he who figured as the arch conspirator and judge of the Kangaroo court at an Au-gust session of which the plot to garrote the turnkey and depopulate the bastile was laid. Yorkey was serving senteuee for burglary at the time of this desper-ate event and determined to liberate himself even at the cost of human life. The hour arrived for the perpetuation of the fiendish plot, the signal of the tragedy being the arrival of the turn-key to' lock the doors of the gaunt ana gloomy confines. jorkey icu the attack and with his con-federates soon had their custodian gagged and bound. A few minutes and the bastile was emptied of its g tenants. - . The jailer had been subjected to un-merciful abuse, and when found was al-most on the verge of death. Concerted pursuit led to the capture of all but nine of the "emigrants" and Yorkey, whose description had been posted in Marshal Young's diary, was bagged here. Telegrams were sent to Spokane announcing his incarceration, but no answer came from the place. - The avenging spirit that had sprung from the bloody assault on the jailer had subsided and as there were no charges against the festive horde here they were permitted to depart under the leadership of the peripatetic Pat, who will, in future, make himself decidedly "scarce" in Salt Lake. doed to lots 36 and S7, Muck 3.

Oswego Times. A BAD INDIAN POLICY. The I te Indiana Beromiog DiKguated With Vncle Nam'a slowneafl. Referring to the proposed removal of the Ute Indians from their presehr res-ervation into Utah, the Kansas City Globe sajs: For a number of years the Southern Ute Indians in Colorado have been anx-ious to remove from that slate across the line into Utah. Their close prox-imity to the miners of southern Colo-rado has been productive of much pad feeling both among the whites and the. Indians, and the government has been been besought by both sides for months to remove the Utos across the frontier to a reservation bet-ter adapted to their wants. Under such circumstances it would seem strange that the unanimous re-quest has not been complied with, but such is the case. The inevitable crank of the down east Indian bureau has been at work fighting the proposed transfer and the government has hesi-tated until tho Indians themselves have become restive and they now threaten to leave their reservation and remove to Utah without permission. The bill for their removal is still pending in congress, and there seems to be no likelihood that it will pass this session.
