The United States District Attorney in Utah gives the following picture of facts in reference to legsl efforts to secure the con- viction of polygamists in that territory: “ Mothers anti fathers will testify that they know nothin about the marriages of their daughters w o are living with polygamists and rearing children; plural wives swear that they are only mistresses. and. in fact. almost any statement will be made to evade the law; and they will satisfy their consciences by their a l consoling belief ‘ that they did it all for Christ‘s sake." The District Attorney says that. with out further and more stringent legislation. the present law can never be made effective for break~ ing up the polygamous system in Utah.

The charge against Boyton is that he is suspected of having, since the 30th Be tem- ber. incited persons to murder.
