| Show THE TRIUMPH OF UNBRIDLED LUST THE proceedings in the third district court during the past few days coupled with the ruling of the supreme court of the territory in the case caise kive give additional cause to the people of utah forsaking for saying that the officials who are so eager to punish the mormons cormons Mor mons for faithfulness to their families are equally anxious to protect lecherous gentiles who practice the vilest kind of sexual bestiality in the davenport case witnesses were called to testify whose evidence was rejected when male re sorters to houses of ill III fame faine some of them former or present attaches of the court were placed in jeopardy why vy the change how is it that their testimony was considered good in one case and bad in others why could their statements be believed against a female prostitute but not against male prostitutes was it not because in both instances the effect was to shield the filthy re sorters and leave them unpunished for their crimes Is it not a patent f fact act that the davenport woman was prosecuted not because she kept a vile house but because she informed against the frequenters of her den no other fallen woman has been tried in tile the third district court for this of bense and this one his has ion since left the city the other poor creature who was implicated at the same time was nearly seared scared to death by the federal officers because she had given similar information and then when she was induced to turn and testify so as to help the debauchees debau chees she was let loose without prosecution the same prosecuting attorney C S varian who in a burst of fury refused to believe the witnesses who saw the lechery in the performance of their criminal acts tried to compel the same witnesses to testify and did receive their testimony in the case against the woman who helped to expose fu t the he guilty creatures whom he refused isa d to prosecute let it be widely known that this vari varlan who would not believe these witnesses under oath when they were ready to testify to what they saw men do whom he openly ref refused used to prosecute demanded that these same witnesses nesses should testify against the woman who was a partner in their guilt also that the reason he assigned for publicly I 1 refusing to prosecute the wretches detected in their vileness was his disbelief in the veracity of the men on whom he now depends for evidence against the woman and whose testimony secured her conviction in her absence varian believe their testimony against agalos men in his own circle but depends on it to prosecute the woman with whom the detected debauchees debau chees were seen to c commit mit crime I 1 the case on which judges boreman and powers decided the justices of the peace had no jurisdiction was of a person in the form of a man who was seen I 1 to 0 commit the offense with which lie he was charged and who in the first place did not deny deny his guilt that decision screened him and the other lechers lechars on the list from the legal consequences of their infamy the justices are prevented from punishing them and the prosecuting attorney of the court which is acknowledged to have jurisdiction uris diction openly proe proclaimed filmed that te he would not prosecute them what does this mean but a free license to male debauchees debau chees to commit all kinds of lechery so long as it is outside of the marriage relation mark the change too as to the admissibility of testimony in different cases when the re sorters rs to houses of ill fame were in danger the prosecuting officer was blazingly indig indignant t I 1 at the idea of allowing men mea to te testify atif in a and detected the depraved creatures in their guilt he believe the oath of such men though they were policemen engaged in detective business but when a mormon was charged with cohabiting with a woman alle alleged ed to be his wife the testimony of a fellow fellow who said he climbed up and looked over a transom into a room at 11 clock at night and saw two persons no one knows whom in a bed was the sole direct evidence to condemn the accused knothole knot hole espionage and win window I 1 d is deemed a virtue against a I 1 I 1 mormon mormon I 1 and a damning vice against a gentile I 1 it is proper in a deputy marshal but villainous in a policeman it is to be encouraged cou raged when the spying is to discover parties who are married and utterly condemned when the object is to suppress prostitution the latest case in demonstration of the virtuous proclivities of the prosecuting attorneys who are waging the warfare against mormon family affairs is that of the guilty griffiths after he had acknowledged his crime in the lower court because the penalty was more than he anticipated lie he appealed to the district court and those immaculate assailants of plural marriage refused to proceed with his bis case and he was set at liberty without a trial although he had bad plead guilty before the justice to the charge of resorting to a house of ill fame in order to suppress the disgusting and shameful details detail of his bestiality which would have been sworn to by an eyewitness eye witness are not these facts most glowing testimonials to the sweet scented virtue and high toned morality of the courts and officers that are carrying on the persecution against the mormons cormons Mor mons how sincere they are when they proclaim as their object the maintenance of the home ano and the sanctity of the family relation blow the trumpet sound the gong proclaim the triumph of the christian cr crusade usadel 1 A A mormon who eastwo has two homes goes to jail while mis kis families are left ex posed ao to the wiles ot of this wicked world and a gentile who married or single visits vile houses wallows in shameless vice and disports himself in rampant lust can laugh lau thormon Ti at law and defy restraint the mormon ormon courts cannot punish him the gentile courts will not and between the two he can freely revel in the orgies of a civilized and christian Christ lan necessary evil surely the plods pious preachers pugnacious editors and moral statesmen who have contributed to this highly satisfactory condition of affairs I 1 in utah ought to rejoice in the success of their work |
