I believe thfy were all born in the Church. Belle is and always wa a firm believer In the testimony of her great Uncle Martin Harris, and is devoted to all tht doctrines cf the Church of which she has always been a highly ajdreiected memter. She is luteliigent and . Induatrious. The present unhallowed persecution is the only intimation I ever heard of her reputation being quistiontd. As to her marrlige relation! I netd not inquire, nor would it reflect any credit to me as a lawyer ta entertain the remotest doubt as to whether her to the question as to whether ebe was married or single was a privileged one. y It matters not whether she Is viewed a a, plural wife, prostitute, single wife, or no wife. I have already statad that her character Is beyond reproach and that point must not be forgotten. Belle Harris stands upon a higher plane, and in keeping with her higher nature, and as any virtuous lady should do, says to the jury and the" Court: "Gentlemen, you havo no legal right to ask this question and I decline to answer it." The question is an Insult and a vile insinuation of departed virtue; and yet were she a public prostitute no such question, either single or conglomerated as hers was would ever be asked. Who ever knew in a single court of free America, such a question to be pujtoja dragged into court without her consent? Echo answers, "who?" The court records may be searched In vain, except In some of the fanat'. ical conrtt of Utah. I admit that In case an unmarried woman has illegitimate issue and claims support from her seducer, such a question would be legally proper and would be asked by her attorney, at a necessary foundation to the establishment of the plantill'a claim, but who ever knew of a Court dragging such a woman before him and compelling her to convict even her paramour.
