CAMilVfS SPEECH. Misinarek's gurrwasor Opens the 1'runUn - Diet. Bkklin, Aprill 15. The Prussian diet was opened today by Chancellor Capri-vi- , who in his speech said: It is not my intention to state the government's programme, but hitherto held aloof from political life, I now wish to speak a few words in order to approach you personally. Cheers. The chancellor then referred to the important position which hail been held by Bismarck, and ex-pressed hope that iu the future the em-pire would continue to secure the edi-fice of state, he said was cemented firmly enough to resist the wind and weather. Moreover, the noble person-ality of the young monarch had already manifested itself at home and abroatL, Ho allirmed an undying belief in a fuj lure of Prussia and the German empire. On Prussia's shoulders both for a long lime to come would be, historical nec-essity. Until could anticipate the fu-ture full of hope. Thf" emperor had said his course would remain the same. The inauguration of i new era there-fore is not to be expected, although more harmonious solidarity would be manifest among the members of the diet. In conclusion the chancellor said he would allow the widest scope to prac-tical criticism and would adopt what-ever cwas good wherever found. He would cooperate with all persons hav-ing at heart the interests of Prussia and aiming to foster a monarchic feeling in Prussia and national feeling throughout the empire.' Cheers. estiti-'- that he was a son of the defendant, and had lived twelve years with his father in Coalville. In April, ho rtmemlcred that his father w as at home the greater portion of the time, and lu May ho was working for the Miners' Equitable Co-op- . It would have been imxssilie for his father, he said, to visit Salt Lake four or live different times during that month. Mrs. Klixa Codes, an aged woman, when taking the witness stand, said she was a sister of the defendant, and wa acquainted with Mrs. HcltVrnau, and had visited her. Some time in the early part of IS--s she aw Kaue at Mi's, llelfernan's home. At nipper ho played the role of host ami was very familiar with Mrs. HelTeriian. In addressing the latter Kane called her "ma" and iiml the children spoke of him as "papa." On the witness said she understood that Mrs. Hcffer-wa- s a wife of Crowthers, and it appeared to the witness a little strange thai Kane should be installed as a "husband." Court then adjourned until '.' o'clock. This afternoon Mrs. Kllen Helfernaii was recalled by the prosecution, and denied the allegation of having ever been criminally intimate with Kaue, She nor her daughter never called him "pupa," she claimed. The lawyers theu begun their argu-incuts- , at the conclusion of which the case was given to the Jury. It was out Just a half hour, and then returned w it It a wrdlct of guilty as charged iu the In-dictment. Attorney!! Hamilton & Coad gave notice of a motion for a new trial. CROWTllKliS CONVICTED He is Adjudged Guilty of Unlawful Con-duct With Pretty Mrs. Eeffeman. AN APPEAL FOB A NEW TRIAL. The Jury Eeturn a Vordict at Two O'olock This After-noon. Kdwin I). Crowthor was put on trial yesterday afternoon in the district court, charged with adultery and unlawful co-habitation. The indictment recites the fact that the offense was committed May 1, with one Kllen (i. HotT-eran- . Crow ther has a wife by the name of Lydia. After a jury was selected to hear the evidence in the case, Kllen i. HclYeran was put upon the stand. She said she became Crow t hers plural wife twenty years ago aud had had several chil-dren by him. The youngest was four-teen mouths old. In 188 she claimed that Crowthers visited her frequently and put in the night with her. "When my last child was born," said tho witness, "Crowthers told mo to say nothing about him being the father of it in order that ho would not get into trouble. Wo were supposed to have been separated but his visits were not infrequent." The woman stated that her youngest child was born February 13, lNSil, and did not like the actions of Crowthers be-cause, as she snld, he came tuher house like a thief in the night. Klla Crowther, a daughter of the de-fendant, tcstilied that Kllen fi. Hell'eran was Iter mother and that Crowthers was her father. She also slated that ho vis-ited her mother frequently before the birth of the youngest child. She had seen him at night In her mother's room. On she said she did not have a kindly feeling for her father because he had treated them so shame-fully. Tho defendant, Kdwin Crowthers, when put upon tho stand, staled that he was a resident of Coalville until March, 18H8. Since that time ho had lived In Salt Lake. He he had lived in polygamy with Kllen Hefferan up to Much, IHMi. and admitted being nf her house March 10, 18M8. He denied thu pateriuty of the youngest child. The defense then called Lydia Crowth-ers, but the prosecution objected to her testimony on the ground that she was uot a competent witness. At the opening of court this morning tho defense produced authorities show-ing that when a defendant was a polyg-am.s- l his wife proper was a competent witness, but the court sustained the ob-jection of the prosecution, and Mrs. Lydia Crowthers was not allowed to testify. The defense then called Kdwin Crow-thers who staled that he was a sou of the defendant. In 18HH the witness was residing in Coalville. He lived nf home with his parents, and in the early part of May he saw his father, mid the hitler remained at home for a period of six weeks, working at the carpenters' trade. He was in the employ of thn Miners' association. On the willies stated that his father, in IHhh, was contin-uously employed from tin latter part of April to the first of June, in Coalville. "Wasn't your father iu this city iu April or May?" asked the prosecution. "Yes, I believe ho was ahsont from home a few days." "Di.lu'l In- - visit Salt Lake some time in the Hiiiniiierf" "I think he did, but I don't re-member the dates." The next witness called was Asa. Wilson of Coalville. He tcstilied that he was a of Crowthers and wiw him iu Coal-ville in March, 1W, The laiter part of April aud the 1st of May the defendant was working for the Co-op- , and saw him quite frequently. In fact the wilness saw him nearly every day, but then it might have been possible for him to be absent for a few days without the wilness knowing where he was. Edwin Crittenden, a carpenter of Hoytsville stated, when put upon the staiid, that he had lieeii acquainted with Crowthers for a few years. They had worked together when the witness resided in Coalville. The witness did not think that Crowthers was ub-se-from Coalville during thn month of May, 1S8, as alleged by the prosecution. The witness on said that he, him-self, was a momlfcr of the Mormon church, and was acquainted with the defendant's family. Sarah Corlcss, a young woman very neatly dressed, was called, and said she resided on Seventh South street, in the Seventh ward. She was acquainted with Kllen Hcfiernaii and her daughter, having known thctn almt nevctiteeti years. She visited them frequently, and had met a Mr. Kane at Mrs. Heffernan's home. He seemed to exercise a little authority at the house, and w hen aome ladies and myself called, he went out and got some chairs. Mrs. Hefferuan said to him: "Never mind papa, 1 will attend to that myself." The witness also said that the chil-dren alluded to Kane as "papa." On Miss Corlesa said she had not visited Mrs. Heff. rnan the past four mouths. She remem-bered the vieit- - with the party and by weing Kane she thought it was very strange that he was called "papa." She never saw Kane there again. Sarah assorted that the defendant was her uncle, but never told him about Kane.

Egbert of Graulsvilkv but since the lirst of February she has not been liv- - ing with her husband. She desertcu him and went to living with John Thompson, who is a neighbor. William Thompson was the complain-ant and caused their arrest. Egbert's aged mother was the lirst witness introduced. She said that her sou was compelled to marry the woman when she was but 11 years of age, and they got along very nicely until Thomp-son crossed the threshold. Ths hus-band suspected not bin wrong until some of his friends told him that he had seen Thompson hugging and kissing his wife. The husband rushed home very much accused his wife of infidelity. Slur at once informed him that she cared nothing for him and that she would live with him no longer. In two days she went to living with Thompson. The evidence adduced at the hearing did not show whether Mrs. Egbert was living with Thompson or whether she was working us a servant, and accord-ingly the court dismissed the case.
