Show THE RAID OF THE DEPUTIES. A Number of Witnesses Arrested Yesterday, bat George Q: Is Won Est. Marshal Ireland and his deputies made a number of arrests yesterday morning, which will appear quite suggestive, both on account of their having been deemed sufficiently important to be made on Sunday, Sun-day, and because of the prominence of the casein the interests of which they were made. The four homes of George Q. Cannon at "West Jordan, and another one in the Fourteenth ward of this city, were visited, as also the family of Mrs. Emily Little, and from each of them & number of persons were arrested and required re-quired to give bonds for their appearance. Deputies Smith, Mix and Sprague called at the Little residence in the Fourteenth ward early yesterday morning, and summoned sum-moned the following parties, who were taken before Judge Zane, in the court chambers, where they gave bonds as follows : Mrs. Emily Little, $2,000 ; Miss Mary Little, Ella and Georgia, $500 each ; W. C. Morris aud Jesse W, Fox, Jr., becoming be-coming sureties.., Abram Little, a young man perhaps" 18 or 19 years of age,jumped the fenca and ran off at the first intimation intima-tion of the proceedings, bul his absence is not important at all. Marshal Ireland, accompanied by Deputies Dep-uties Vandercook, Franks and Collin, visited the houses of Mr. Cannon and arrested the following persons, who were permitted to' give-bonds without coming up town: Mrs. Hester Cannon," $500 bonds; .Sarah; J. Butterworth, the housekeeper, house-keeper, $500; Mary Alice Cannon, $500 ; Martha T -;Cannon $2,000 ; Sarah J. Cannon, $2,000." Fo. all of these parties Francis Armstrong and John Q. Cannon signed the bonds. . - It will be seen that Mrs. Emily Little, a former; wife of "Colonel"' Jesse C. Little, is among those whe were required to give heavy bonds, and this is in. keeping keep-ing with the street gossip that says the lady has sustained peculior relations to Apostle Cannon. Of course these are matters which the court will discuss and not such as to be talked of beforehand through the. press; but it comes from very good authority that our alluRion above is an actual fact. One of the deputies when asked for the reason for the strange and extended Sabbath Sab-bath raid remarked, "we -have to get them when they are wanted, ' 'and it might be inferred from this that the deputies have succeeded in brino-intr mattei-a tn that stage where the witnesses "are wanted" now. There is reason to believe, be-lieve, however, but of course this is a matter that none of the deputies will acknowledge that the several homes of George Q. Cannon were visited yesterday in the hope and expectation that the Apostle would be discovered at one or the other of the firesides. This is only an opinion, and may be in err,or. j |
