A- far as 1 re-lunujlur, re-lunujlur, 1 havo uoiy vott-d once here; I then lived m the tti Ward; I went to the poll.-i late in the afternoon and deposited my vote without any trouble; I think there was scarcely anybody at j the podi except the neueetary parties, ; at the time 1 voted. liy Mr. Mann. Have you ever seen anything since you have been here to induce you to think that there is any unfairness at the elections? Nol Have fuu ever been disturbed hf-rc in the exerci-c of your religious or civil rights by the Mormon people or church? If the disturbed means unfairly, un-fairly, L should May decidedly, No! We are opposed, and expect to bo opposed. op-posed. Have jou ever seen or known of your own knowledge anything in the Mormon church which woald induce you to think that there was any such organization as the Damtes or destroying destroy-ing angels? No! JJo you know whether Brigham Young has encouraged your schools established by your church or not? I did not hear iiim, but I hear from my clergy that at a late oonfer-enco oonfer-enco Iirigham Young spoke in favor of allowing tho children of the Mormon people to attend other schools than those of the Mormon church. There are Methodist and Protestant Episcopal Episco-pal schools hero. I think there are somo Mormon children attending our Bchools, but Mr. llaikins is tho proper officer charged with knowing the persons per-sons of the school. What would you aay of the Mormon people from your experience with them, of their disposition to bo fair-dealing fair-dealing and to obsorve law and order? In dealing with them I havo found them to bo fair-dealing. According to my observation they aro observers of law and order. From my observation, observa-tion, i bclicvo there have been fewer drinking saloons and houses of prosti tution, relatively, than in the non-Mormon non-Mormon towns of my Territories. To judgo from the licences chargod I should judge that drinking was discouraged dis-couraged by she authorities. To judge from the actions of tho police I should judge that prostitution was discouraged by the authorities; and to judgo from tho papers 1 should say that both wero discouraged by tho authorities. 1 know nothing of my own knowledge of the action of the authorities upon tnese matters. CrosH examination by Mr, Handy, counsel for eoutostant Huvo you ever heard that Brigham Young or the authorities of tho Mormon Mor-mon church have, at any time or in any manner, discouraged or opposed ' tho sustaining of tho schools or the mission of the Protestant Episcopal i church in this Territory, and if so, in what manner? I bavo been informed by tho Kcv. Mr. Foote that, soon after tho establishing of our school, the teachers of tho Mormon church (I use tho official term) warned tho people not to send their children to our school. Tho Rev. Mr. Gillogly, of Ogden, has told mo that the teachers have pursued pur-sued the same course thero. I om told that at a oonference a speaker used words, deprecating tho allowanoe on the part of the Mormon people of the ongoing of our school in Salt Lake City. Aro you acquainted with Walter Mansfield, formerly sexton of the Protestant Episcopal ohuroh in this oity and if so for how long? Yes, far about four years. From your acquaintance with him do you or do you not consider him a truthful and well-meaning man? I consider him truthful and woll-mcaning, but ill-balanced. Re-examined by Mr. Mann. Is this Mr. Mansfield a man likely to bo imposed upon by others on account ac-count of his being ill-balanced? In hia individual oaso I do not know any faots that would lead me to suppose that ho would be easily imposed upon; on general principles an ill-balanced man is more likely to bo easily imposed upon than a well-balanoed man. When was it that the discouragement discourage-ment on tho part of the Mormon teachers against the attendance at your sohools occurred? In Salt Lake oity I think some time in tho year 1S6S, in Ogden I think some time in tho year 1S71. In each case oar school had been established about a year. I know nothing of what means the Mormon people may have had of judging of the qualities of the teachers. By Mr. Handy. Were tho schools open to the inspection of tho Mormon Mor-mon people aodthe public generally? No hindrance has ever been offered. Dan'l S. Tuitle.
