Much has been said in terms of reproach against the unitj^ and brotherhood of the Mormons, or as it is more often denominated, their exclusiveness or clan- nishness, as appHed to their social^, business, and re- ligious relations. It is said that they hold to one another, band against all societies and interests except their own; that they hold all the agricultural lands, cooperate in commerce and manufactures, vote all one way, and so work into one another's hands in every way; that no other people can stand up in com- petition with them.

at the next sitting of the U. S. ct for the 3d judic, dist. On Oct. 2, 1871, he ■was again arrested on an indictment of the grand jury, found under the stat- utes of Utah; see Utah Laws, 58, sec. 32, which prohibits the cohabitation of persons not married to each other. On Jan. 2, 1872, Brigham was for the third time arrested, the accusation on this occasion being complicity in the murder of one Richard Yates in Echo Cafion, in 1857. There being no gov- ernment jail, and the prisoner old and feeble, he was allowed to remain in his own house under charge of the U. S. marshal. It does not appear that, be. yond the annoyance caused by restraint of liberty, Brigham suffered in conse» quence of either of these charges. For details of the arrests, I refer to Mil- lennial Star, XXV. 273-4, xxxiii. 696-700, 708-14, 728, xxxiv. 58-60, 70-1, 120- 3, 209-15; S. F.

On Oct. 28, 1871, Thomas Hawkins, of Salt Lake City, having been found guilty of adultery with two women, under a territorial statute ap- proved by Gov. Young on Mar. 6, 1852, was sentenced to three years' impris- onment and to pay $500 fine; see S. F. Alta, Oct. 4, 1871; Bulletin, Nov. 3, 1871; Sac. Union, 1871, Oct. 24, 30, Nov. 1. On Mar. 6, 1879, Dan. H. Wells was imprisoned for two days and fined $100 for contempt of court in refusing to testify as to the garments worn during the endowment ceremonies. Juv. Inst., xIt. 114-15; McClellan, Golden State, 587-9. In 1873, Ann Eliza Young, known as Wife No. 19, began suit against Brigham for divorce, with alimony. About two years later she was awarded $500 per month, which deci- eion was afterward setaside, but not, Tullidge says, until Brigham had been im- prisoned for contempt of court, and had paid two months' alimony and $4,000 coimsel fees; see Young's Wife No. 10, 553-65; TuUidge's Life of Young, 431- 3; Helena (Mont.)
