imperative that a position of reticence should no longer be maintained on the subject persistent attempts that have been made by a number of persons some of whom should be specially Inte interested

seducers gand sand abortionists that nat infamous sheet abused and slandered mr aft rudger clawson who was sent to jail on saturday W marrying living with providing providing for and protecting a second wife no 0 epithet was too virulent to hurl at him but nut here is an alleged case of seduction and abortion committed by one of its own aind mild and it immediately attempts tempts S to smother up the hor elble crime pat its perpetrator ontee on the back and insinuate that the damnable outrage against the laws of god nature and ana man is a trumped up i charge instigated and formulated by mormons cormons Mor mons fon for an ulterior purpose the infamy of that vicious sheet can reach no greater depth than this A great effort Is being made to compromise this horrible affair by the friends of the principal of the two persons accused of the crime by his ni marriage arriage arriago with his hapless victim victim let parents ask themselves the question Ily hether whether inthey if they were in the position of the maternal guardian of this injured girl they could consent to ta ga union of their daughter with a moral monster who even carried with him upon his person to the city

that society should be protected from moral vultures who prey upon it and if such men as irons is allowed to go of justice it will be an encouragement to others imbued with similar brutal proclivities to pursue a like course as they would feel assured that there would be no lack of sympathizers to aid in covering up their crimes and help them to elude the consequences of their infamy it will be a matter of some interest to note the course of the prosecuting attorney in this matter in view of the heroic methods he employs in pursuing alleged polygamists with the terrors of the law one man has just been convicted and sentenced for unlawful cohabitation with his wife and is now in jail the prosecutor having prevailed upon atthe court not to admit him to ball pending n an appeal to a higher

engaged swed awed in the anti anaw mormon I 1 crusade the tribunes attitude on this case is what might have been expected that sheet is the journalistic advocate of the drinking saloon the brothel and the gambling den len ten as proper mediums for corrupting mormon youths and winning wiX ining them the over from the moral restraints stra ints of mormonism to its own side it said on this subject freedom is the first requisite of manhood and if it can be won without excesses excess qs so much the better if it cant never mind the excesses win the freedom it appears that thab JohnW john W irons isa is a victim of this immoral mesh that the tribune and those whose organ it is have laid for the feet of the unwary and now they seek to protect him from the consequences of the terrible crime alleged against him which in the eyes of all intelligent men inen is pronounced murder it Is with profound sorrow that we learn of such horrible criminality as la Is alleged in this case and it is a matter of great regret that mr irons is in the position position he is found in today to day and the f keenest sympathy is felt for forms his hapless victim her family and the relatives of the person
