of the room between Deputy Yandercook and Miss Jesde Grant II Our reporter caught sufficient to show him that the lady wa indignantly I denying having bees subtxriiaed and that the officer was insisting that she i had been She was called a moment later and the commissioner put some severe questions to her as to why she had not obeyed the subprena Her testimony tes-timony was as follows I saw the the officer in the next house to Miss 1 > Murrins 1 was not running away from him though I was not particular about coming up here as I did not think it any great honor The deputy did not read

charg Mr McKay called Jessie Grant fonyard and said tb her in severe tones It appears to the court that you are guilty of acontemptin disobeying disobey-ing the subpoena served upon you the service was ample in any opinion It it were a man in your place I should impose im-pose a severer penalty than I am about te butit seems to me it is necessary that there should be an example made in the cases of persons who are trying to avoid summons and the order is that you pay a fine of 525 and that you stand committed until the amount is paid > Miss GRANT retired composedly atlu Mr McKay announced that he desired to hear a portion of the testimony read overby the reporterMr Patterson and that LK would nnnouce his decision at oclock MR DICKSOX here handed a paper to Deputy Yandercook and asked him to serve it on Miss Agnes McMurrin the lady sat only a few feet from the HESALD reporter re-porter and when the deputy commenced to read to her site said a little louder please He then raised his yoice and the reporter caught the word perjury it 6ty fr J i i distinctly uttered A moment later the paper was handed back to the commissioner commis-sioner its contents are somewhat voluminous but are to the effect that during the examination qf Royal B Young charged with etc etc etc she the said Agnes McMurrin did take her corporal oath and did then and there falsely corruptly knowingly willfully and maliciously declare depose and swear that she tle said Agnes McMur rin had married and taken for her husband hus-band him the said Boyal B Young and that lie had taken her to wife in plural and polygamous marriage on the 8th day of Yebruary 1881 and not at another an-other time or place whereas in truth and in fact she the said Ages Mc Murrin had married the said Royal B Young some time subsequent subse-quent to the 12th day of September 1832 and not at any time nrior that the tes timonv she had given was material to the issue then and there pending that she did not believe the same or any part thereof to be true and thereby did falsely and willfully commit willful and corrupt perjury against the peace and dignity of the United States etc Wherefore Where-fore complainant prays that a warrant may issue for the arrest of said Ames ilcMurrin and that she be dealt with cording to law This is of course sworn to by the omnipresent and alluseful Mr Gilson Miss McMurrins countenance mani Jested no change at this serious chatge except that she smiled faintly across the room at Miss Jessie Grant who apt poured to be pondering ovar4ier2i fineMB MB BENNETT Stated that he represented repre-sented the defendant and asked that the examination proceed immediately Mr Dickspn said that he would not be ready until this morning dnd the court decided to adjourn until that hour Mr McKay suggested that an examination might be waived the Grand Jury session ses-sion being so near at hand but Mr Bennett said We dont wish to waive an examination thESe things are becoming I be-coming a trifle too numerous Mr Dickson asked that Miss McMur rin be placed under bail and the commissioner I com-missioner named 1000 as the amount Joseph 0 Young and George Stringfel low became sureties for her appearance I this morning at 10 oclock Mr Royal B Young went out to obtain the money for Miss Grant the fine was paid the I bonds signed and the ladies went on their way At 4 oclock Commissioner McKay delivered his opinion He said briefly that although there was presumptive proof of Mr Youngs guilt on the charge of unlawful cohabitation yet the evidence on that point was not sufficient and on that count he would be discharged on the charge of polygamy polyg-amy however he thought the proof was sufficient the testimony of Mr P L Williams being material and on that charge the defendant would beheld be-held in 2000 bonds to await the action of the Grand Jury Bonds were furnished by Messrs Barnes andDavis A HKKALD reporter asked Mr Young last evening if he could explain the contradiction con-tradiction inMiss McMurrins testimony relative to her marriage she swears she was married February 8th 1S31 and at the time she registered in September 1SS2 she signed the oath which declares that she was not the wife of any man living in polygamy or unlawful cohabitation cohabita-tion Mr Young replied Miss McMur rin states that she signed the oath without with-out reading it and that in subscribing f to it she supposed she was swearing that she had not cohabited with any I j polygamist she thought thefact that she was married did not matter solong as she had not lived with her husband under this impression she registered and voted twice without my knowing it but as soon as I found it out I told her her mistake and stopped her That is the explafiation of what seems tobe so plain a contradiction j |
