Show THE HANSEN CASE The prosecutions for unlawful cohabitation cohabi-tation do not present a very flattering aspect so far as ordinary decency is concerned con-cerned and the most chaste of them are unsavory at best but some are worse than others and from all appearances the case of Ole hansen yesterday was the worst of all The testimony shows that the association of Hansen and the woman Valentine was of the most revolting re-volting kind and if any credence can be given to the statements made by witnesses they show that Hansen and this woman have been living in a lewdness of the lowest kind And yet both have received the most sacred ordinances oftheMormon Church it seems that this man and this woman have lived together in the most open and notorious manner and from their own statements have never been married nor pretended that they were and yet the bishop of Brighton has from all appearances I appear-ances never censured them much less cut them off from the church Both of them should be cut off from the church and if they are not people will wonder very much why the nn not An it v u 1 jxjarance of decency demands it if nothing else and if they are retained in their standing it will not reflect any great credit on the authorities of the church in Brighton ward nor the church itself |
