Show Minister Convicted of Polygamy Pleads Divine Inspiration. Rev. J. W. Harrison, a preacher, recently re-cently convicted of polygamy and given two years in the penitentiary, was sentenced by Judge Scott at Waco, Texas, Tuesday, in accordance with the verdict of the jury. Harrison made a sensation in the court room by reiterating reit-erating a former statement that he was divinely inspired to contract a second marriage, which constituted the offense of which he was convicted. He thanked his lawyers, saying no man could defend de-fend him unless divinely inspired. |
