MAY HAVE TWO WIVES. Carlisle dropped this form of ex- amination at this point and inquired into the relations of Professor Wolfe to Brigham Young College. Professor Linford said that the motto of the college was to fight th= liquor trafic. Carlisle asked if the Zion Co- operative Mercantile Institution of Salt Lake and the Smoot Drug Company of Provo, both Mormon concerns, were not engaged in selling liquor. The witness sald he knew only by general hearsay that they sell liquor. Zina R. Card, librarian of the Brig- ham Young College, sald the witness was reputed to have a plural wife. He gaid he had not taken steps to have her dismissed because of this relation. At the afternoon session a large num- ber of affidavits were submitted from persons named as polygamists by the counsel for the Protestants among a list of officers of the State of Utah.

He had been on what is téFmed the “cranky list” for several days and had been kept in a cell. He was let out this morning with the other prisoners, but soon afterward Guard Woods was or- dered to put him back into the cell. An- derson refused to obey, and when the guard seized him by the arm and at- tempted to force him into the cell Ander- son drew a knife and stabbed the guard, killing him instantly. Other guards and several convicts rushed to the rescue of Woods. Anderson was slashing right and left and severely injured two other con- victs, one of them, Willilam Sheridan, sen- tenced from St. Louls to serve ten years for murder, being so serfously injured that he will probably die. William Rock- well, sentenced from Pettus County for robbery, was stabbed, but not seriously wounded. Anderson then seized a hose and direct- ed a stream of water on those who at- tempted to capture him. Dropping the hose, he threw buckets and anything he could lay hands on and made his way Into the yard. It was found imposisble to cap- ture him alive, and guards finally shot him to death.
