Show A Levi Who Wouldnt Lie I David Levi who pleaded guilty to the charge unlawful cohabitation at Beaver and was let off by Judge Boreman with a fine of 300 was of course roundly abused by the Mormon editor of the Utonian He replied to that paper as follows I see in your journal of the 29th ult a statement that I had required my plural wife to sign a pledge which is entirely en-tirely incorrect as no pledge was even talked of If telling the truth will disgrace dis-grace a religion or a mans family or himself it is something new and as to her being free I have taken no steps to bind her in the least my friend In pleading guilty I acknowledged both wife and children Had I plead not guilty I would have denied both I would say to all who may be prosecuted as I was dont deny your wives and children dont lie about the matter and go to that awful lake and smell brimstone |
