monogamist 0 1 THE penalty I pena yena lcy or af prostitution or seduction is not tolerated in the territory death lithe is the penalty for adultery forbath for fon both parties there have doubtless been transgressors who have escaped but the non execution of the law has been probably more torvold to avoid avold difficulty with the tha general government than from a want of will to c arry carry it through should the mormons cormons be able to assert their theiu independence now arid and become a separate people from the united states or become a sovereign state of the union the law against the adulterers will doubtless be honored in the observance TREATMENT OF or GENTILES outsiders or gentiles have not been subjected to abuse or annoyance on account of negative faith in Mormon lam jam
