the story about an incestuous marriage the facts of which she slie claimed to have discovered discovered discovered ered at the Utah penitentiary The groundlessness of this infamous infamous ous slander was fully exposed by the strongest kind ot of official proof which was placed before a Congressional Congressional Congressional committee before which this perverted woman lade made ade the abominable abominable abominable able and untruthful statements Ye We can only account for Mrs Newmans Newman's pertinacious course in continuing to reiterate such unjust and foundation foundationless less utterances noes on the ground of her having been thwarted in a scheme whose object was for her to control the manipulation of an appropriation made by Con Con- Congress on- on gress gross for the establishment in Utah cf a benevolent institution HerF Her F course is that of a disappointed woman She recently delivered a characteristic lecture at Ann Arbor Michigan and we find in the Register
