Show I 1 EXPOSE THE slanderers SLANDER ERS S I 1 IN the eve EVENING ung NEWS of november esth we called attention to an atrocious calumny of which one J 31 goodwin orthis was the author it ap the

from the leadville Vh chronicle ronicle and this morna morn i ing a good suc suz suggestion in regard to the charges so go recklessly made by goodwin against this community that ts is that a lull full opportunity be afforded ea the slanderer to give any facts that he may claim to haye have justifying the ston stor iesh told to the leadville reporter the fellow is t too oo 00 insignificant to honor with much notice but his falsehoods affect the veople people of this city caty and territory and ought not to be allowed to pass by without some refutation f fu of a positive character the stories sf ories orles published as coming f from rom him reflect on the mu municipal authorities of this city in addition to the lie about the death of his son bon universally ver sally lac acknowledged to be a clear case of bf suicide and the charges that mormon women will go into court and swear that they are arc prostitutes and their children illegitimate legitimate rather than reveal the secrets of the church and that gentiles are subjected to every sort of annoyance through aies ales spies who find and out everything possible ossi b e about their history and mier uler belief the persecution bein being of a variety and extent impossible 0 o describe will almost drive a man wild 17 he charge that the police force ol 01 of t this his city beat the negro webster to death in the city hall and that he and three other oher gentiles were present and saw the tragedy wo we pass by his ridiculous description of the jury system here which hellas helias not brains enough to understand and therefore may mav be to some extent excused f or ae scribing describing so incorrectly and other minor inaccuracies which mark his tale to the chronicle but hut direct the attention ot of the mayor and authorities to his deliberate slanders against them and we endorse the suggestion in tle the the herald let the civic auchoi authorities atles give the jellow a chance chanca to tell what he know or pretends to know about roll roli policemen policemen cenen cemen who who are canites Danl dani Da tes or who had ad any hand hind in his sons onys decease or in beating a negro to death in the city halland hailand hall hali and if he wiil not avail himself of the opportunity to give some iea reasons for his horrible tale let every one in the gomm comm community unit I 1 1131 mormon ormon onmon and gentile wha who zoes does not understand him already know kno whim him for il a liar and a poltroon robn unfit tabb to be recognized by any respectable citizen this goodwins tribune training as a sneak and a paul pry rry into private domestic affairs as a defamer detainer of good men and women as a professional falsifier and filwett hired slanderer has led him to think he is safe 0 in promulgating the most inexcusable untruths un truths so long iong as they reflect upon the mormon people orthe mormon church such a course has been followed by his infamous colleagues for years with perfect impunity and when some of their knost outrageous fabrications have at length been taken u up and ex pos edIt has almost taken their their breath away in surprise we think it is time that something should be done to teach such villainous liars that they are novat liberty to spread their foul libels unchecked if individuals shrink from calling the vagabonds to account counte because because of a dislike for notoriety biety and the same feeling with which one i shrinks from contact with a skunk when public corporation corporations s are so grossly assailed in this thin shameful manner some official action should be taken to repel the attack or punish the libeler business interests in this city have materially suffered from the slanders which have been spread abroad from sources as petty and mean as the author authol odthe falsehoods in the leadville chi chronicle anise anide they have been suffered to go lin jin contradicted because of the paltriness and vileness vl leness of their source but people at a distance know nothing of the li Ji bellers the they only hear ilear of the libel sand the most orri nabie of falsehoods have been suffered to spread and 4 till the p public bublic have come to believe them for t this his very teason reason they ask if these t things are false why do you not punish t the he authors author sot af them as they deserve and a avery ayery natural question we are aware that some of our good friends are opposed to any notice being taken li by the DESERET NEWS of the diere disreputable etab e and persistent probes slona slander have made the name of the salt lake tribune a synonym for all that is false and v vile le and contemptible but our silence of years has been misconstrued and while some have supposed perhaps that we were unable to rep reply all the cowardly slanderers slander ers have I 1 elt seit safe in saying just what they pleased fearing no exposure of their double dyed infamy and we therefore proa pro pose rose ose to let iet tin daylight iia in upon their deep diabolism whenever niever we think proper we do not expect to td make them ashamed we do not imagine for a moment that there is a spot I 1 in n their thel seared consciences that can be touched by any appeal to honor or of manliness we d do 0 not anticipate retraction of any wilful falsehood or gross error which they set afloat but nta W have some faith in the virtue of facts and the force of fear sear upon their class of mind when there is danger dangen of exposure we may not notice an the little fibbing and low deviling revil Tevi ling ing which are aye the sf staple aple apie commod atles of the dally daily wanderer slanderer but we do not propose to allow its greate greaten fabrications and the monstrous assume eions of its scribes besand and allies to pass without notice when we deem it wise to give I 1 lve them our attention meanwhile white let goodwin prove his charges or stand branded and recognized as a foul sample of tribune mendacity |
