something better To a teporter who asked the Marshal how about his dead sure case of polygamy he said that he believed himself that it was nothing else than a case of polygamy polyg-amy as for Berthas 4yearold child he was of the opinion that it belonged to Anna who had kindly loaned it to Bertha to enable her to elude the polygamy charge This rather stunned the reporter but Deputy Cannon confidently con-fidently said they had a good many witnesses who had not yet been heard from and the graver charge might be made out yet |
