| Show IN A BAD BOX OUR readers have fresh in mind no doubt the alleged blood atonement episode of the farcical examination be fore judge anderson about twenty months ago A I 1 liberal tool of the liberal faction went on the stand and aad swore that in 1862 he saw a man named william green murdered in cold blood because he be had left the mur mor mon church and that his money might be seized he gave time and place and circumstances and mole made a great sensation it was such a surprise and such a novelty that at first the refutation of the story appeared to be difficult there was liberal glorification that that at last a genuine blood atonement 0 cue case had been found but these theme tribune blood blond aud and thunder stories never stand long when dates and names are given and when wit nesses enough were at length obtained to utterly disprove the story so that the judge declared no more rebutting testimony was needful the wretched liberal witness wardell was looked u upon po ass as a hopeless lunatic or a measureless perjurer soon after the man alleged to have been murdered hearing of f the statement made an affidavit totally upsetting all wardelle War delPs dells sworn evidence and though a speeder from the mormon church giving testimony which totally swept away the charge against it we refer to this little piece of libera eral discomfiture which is well known and authentic history because the tribune has a story something similar only more ancient and with names and dates and means of identification left out that is quite shrewd becat because ioe it renders refutation more difficult after telling its tale of horror on the authority of a man who is well keown one of the tribunes unes convenient tricks it sums it up tip in this way and so we see the fact was this ft 14 was determined to kill an inoffensive m man an the man delegated I 1 to 0 perform the assassination could not do it because the man had saved his life when he reported what he had done three men of the gang with some generosity lefi lef in their hearts approved the act and it was amse a case where four men then had refused to obey b counsel they had committed a morts mortal et offense and the only way to save their souls was by taking their lives which was accordingly done that is very definite is it not so we we see the fact is 0 etc no we don dont donit it see any fact we only see one of the tribunes Iri bunes cooked up scraps of alleged ancient history told by some anonymous person who is thus pointedly described in or about the office there is in no one who would dispute his word well who ever he is if he exists at all we do dispute his bis word it if he said what the tribune alleges but that paper to is so addicted to garbling and twisting and transforming what people say my that we do not believe anybody told the story in the shape in which it appears but why is this gruesome and boty tale told today oday t would you believe it rational reader it is to justify her publication in the Tribu neof the lying letter called the red bed hot address 0 which the admits waa bogur l this thie Is IB some more of its peculiar logic A man whom the NEWS will not think of disputing but whose identity la Is carefully concealed says that four men were killed in very early times in utah the tribune with its wolfish instincts infers A that bat they were killed because they had 01 refused to obey counsel and that is a I 1 justification for publishing a pack of I 1 infamous lies hes by the tribune seven years age I 1 it to is simply another clumsy and senseless attempt to dodge the main issue and like all ail the other efforts of the tribune to lead us and the public away from the subject of controversy it simply serves to co show that the tribune is in a bad box about the bogus west letter and it would show a little scrap of common sense if it would understand where it to is and keep quiet until it can creep out unobserved |
