| Show A GREAT MISTAKE WE consider it necessary t to 0 say something in relation boil to a statement which h has as appeared la in the ogden junction to the effect that all persons who have bave married a plural wife since 1862 1882 are liable to prosecution we should not have referred to it but for the fact that the editor persists in hla hia assertion after being bein informed by a correspondent odthe of the well known fact that thaltha tha the united states statute of limitations bars trial and punishment for any olTen ces ees against the laws jaws of 0 the united states except a capital of fence unless an ap indict ment anent la Is found within two years next after the s committed or n the junction editor takes the ground that the 06 cohabitation or aa as he puts it 1 the conjugality conjugal itys and not the tho ceremony ia is the of fence and therefore that evary every man an who Is living with the second wife as such guch whom he has taken since jince the passage of the act of 62 and whose first wife wine is living and la Is liable to prosecution reference to the law will show that this la Is entirely entire jy erroneous rone ous the marriage is made the of fence the cohabitation is not mentioned this is and has been considered the defect in thelah th the elaw law by bitter antl anti polygamists and their main maln efforts now apart from their attempts to obtain power to pack juries is to push a bill through congress which will make the cohabitation ana and not the mere mete ceremony tho the of fence all persons are liable to error and it is rather a mark of greatness than weakness to acknowledge it when discovered the junction la Is clearly mistaken on a question quei tion that has baa vital interest to our out people at the present ju juncture nature |
