to drag mr heme beme hemenway anway editor of the tile O onen ogden nen aen herald into troubled waters Is not free f from rom a strong taint of di absurdity anat that gentleman intimated in the paper over whose columns ho he presides that circumstances indicated that district attorney dickson and commissioner mckay had arranged to pool their fees in the unlawful f UP cohabitation cases the matter was referred to the grand jury jarv of the birst Dist district rietA at ogden enat body of I 1 inquisitors inqui u 4 visitors di rep reported orLi zi to the court that thuy they t 11 ey had investigated the tiie allegation of the life journalist and not riot only asserted that the tile insinuation made by bim him was groundless but covered the tile sore sure place lie he had made in the tile feelings ot the federal officials upon whom the reflection lection ret rel had been cast a mammoth plaster ot of which ther ollice office holders were given a share the plaster was porous I was easily seen through the report was albort a sord sort ot general outgeneral certificate of good character in instead teai teat lot tot of having special rete rele re terence rence to the tile malter matter alleged to have bien blen been bieu investigated while it may have acted like soothing syrup to tiie the offended f it was gall and ad vinegar to the editor who was han ban handled idl idi e with reserved unreserved hostility mr hemenway retorted upon general nathan Kliu kimball ball bali who signed the report as foreman of the grand raud jury and most of his ills associate jurors in an article of an buncom uncomplimentary character the result of this later devel was that the irate foreman met inet the journalist applied a number of foul epithets to him besides making a dash at him with a cane with chiet ll 11 lie he proposed to pummel him F eor for or this the tile general was arrested and filled fined une one would have supposed that this should have ended the he comedy but not so the climax of tiie the farce had not yet been reached reache dx at the instance of general kimball mr air Ile lle hemenway was arrested on a charge of libel laken taken before US commissioner felshaw vel rel shaw and waiving examination he lie was placed under bonds and held to answer to the grand jury now comes one of the of this squabble the editor who is mixed up with ith this muddle muddie is entitled to a speedy investigation of his case with a view to an early trial providing the matter reaches that point in order that his case may proceed it jylli will be bd necessary for tor it to go before the present p raud grand rand jury to whom he is il held to answer that inquisitional body has for tor its foreman general nathan kimball and for the larger portion of his associate jurors gentlemen who were in common with him reflected upon in the article out of which this suit has grown the question is would it be lair tair t to mr hemenway lle lie to nave have the charge against hini him investigated by kimball co I 1 upon whom in that event it would devolve to find or ignore adre an indictment the foreman who is the p prosecuting 1 rosec witness has already passed upon the subject and in in addition he might inight be in the peculiar pecullar ar position of a witness testifying to himself upon a subject upon which his mind had bad been made up defore before the investigation vesti gation had been entered upon and there can be but little room for doubt in relation to the position of most of his associate jurors the entire situation is highly ous oas and serves to illustrate a point in the anti auti mormon crusade in the em paneling of grand juries under it its 8 regime no person is allowed to sit aa as members of those bodies unless they aarein sympathy with the tile prosecution in the pursuit of mormons cormons Mor mons for lor unlawful cohabitation here is a case of another character it is evident that in the tho ogden affair the grand rand jury as a body are in sympathy with tile the prose cution of mr Ile lle hemenway consequently if it the auti anti mormon I 1 rule be applied he will be investigated by uy those who f feel eel themselves aggrieved edby by his journalistic strict strictures stricture ur e S if the same rule applied to 11 morand mons against whom allegations of committing offenses against the laws have beerli been hade made DO be still f urther further carried out in his case should he go to trial the petit jury that will consider the suit will v III ili also be coin coln composed posed of persons in syll sympathy apathy with ane prosecution this case illustrates the kind of justice meted out to mormon 4 i 31 if it were applied all over this country and in all masses classes of cases the courts would be on thein their beam ends and juris pru dence generally be twili twined ted into one ne of tiie the most tyrannical institutions ever devised f for or the infliction of wrong g upon mortals mr case

ulu nin it in the latter place zas as is done here almost constantly SEW while tile tiie grand raud rand jury is in session and ready to investigate alleged crimes without piling up fee bills by
