assume the position which they are said to have usurped the officer in charge of the soldiers seems to have stepped a long way outside of the bounds of his authority land and the marshal to to have played the poltroon in submitting to the indignity put upon him and upon his prisoner he also broke faith with president cannon OP permitting his removal ur la his weak and wounded condition before the time lie he had a agreed agreed to allow him to remain at rest had ad expired we th think I 1 this matter worthy of further inquiry if the military are to supersede the civil authorities in

extraordinary the reward the heavy bonds put upon the family the employment of tue the soldiery and the unprecedented amount required for bail all for a simple case ot of misdemeanor are such as in our opinion were never known before in the hit bib tory of criminal law either in this country or iu in europe 0 president cannon has the deep sympathy as aa well as the profound esteem and affection of many thousands of true hearts in utah but aney know that he would not d desire any lawless exhibition of that rl regard tr d and that he would be the first to rebuke abuk it if f it was manifested but there are wretches here who would like to see a tumult because st would work in with their designs to 10 obtain martial law or a legislative commission we do not think the mormons Mor mons are going to gratify them but if such an event should take place we are of the opinion that they would not draw much lasting comfort irom the effects of their provocation president cannon is now under legal restraint lie he must have a fair and legal trial if such a thing is possible in utah with prejudiced courts packed juries and a malignant special personal leeling against him all ail who take part in his prosecution all other considerations than those tending lending to prove or indicate that he has committed an offense against the law should be banished from his case ile he is not to be tried as one of the first presidency as an apostle as a prominent 11 mormon lormon A 1 eider deader as an able defender of doctrines held by the latter day baines nor in any other capacity than as a
