prominent lawyer yesterday. A
Mereurv renorter was i.resent
and liiiit a listeniiiL' ir to the
theories and denunciations ad
vanced. Finally an elderly gen
tleman, engaged in the iron bus
incsc, told what he assured his
hearers was an authentic story
of Mormon iniquities, and men
tioned the name of a relative of
ono of the parties maltreated,
who lived on East Fourteenth
street, who would corroborate
his statements in every essen
tial particular. The Mercury
man repaired to the establish
ment mentioned a lew hours
afterward and found the man.
Later on, when he was disengag
ed, he told the story pretty
much as the reporter had al
ready heard it, but materially
anipliiied in certain particulars.
Jim Coultard and I, he said in
substance, were sons of the same
mother by different fathers. lie
would have been live years old
er than 1 had he been alive, but
his bones are bleaching some
where about Ogden, on the
shores of the Great Salt lake.
We were brought up on a farm
in the county of Durham, Eng
land. Jim didn't take kindly to
agricultural oparatiors, but he
stuck to school pretty closely
and when he was sixteen he ran
iway to sea, embarking on a
baik at Sunderland bound for
Archantrcl, in Kussia. It was.
in the early winter when the
ship left the White sea homo-
ward bound, and Jim s forehn
rer on his left hand had to be
amputated because of frost-bite.
This discouraged him a little as
to sea-foing life. He came
home, went to school again, stu
died navigation, and with his
mother's sorrowing disapproval,
embarked on a full-rigged ship
bound for the hast Indies.
When he returned he was one
of the ship's otlicers, and when
he was twenty two he com
manded one of the lamest mer
chant sailing vessels belonging
to the port of London, lie was
a very good looking fellow, tali
and fair-haired, with a fine com
plexion, and on the deck of his
vessel, togged out in gold lace,
he looked like a Russian prince.
When Alexis, of Kussia, was
staying at the Clarendon in this
city, 1 pointed him out to my
wife and said he looked for ail
the world like Jim Coultard.
Jim was rather a gay boy, when
ashore. J'inaily he married
a pretty bartender, named Jen
nie iinimley, and he hired a
pretty house in the suburbs of
Loudon and made her its mis
tress. Jennie was a tall, hond
some girl of three or four and
twenty, with a line figure and
generous curves, and in two or
three years' time Captain Coul
tard became wildly jcalqiis of
her. lie had saved some mon
ey from his salary and ho had
inside money in cabin cargo
speculation, and all of a sudden,
six years after he had been mar
ried, he gave up the sea and
timlr in f::rmiiit?. He knew
enough about farming to make
the undertaking a success. 1 1 is
wife liked country life, and was
never so delighted as when driv
ing around or horseback riding.
They had two children, a boy
and a girl, and were thriving,
happy and prosperous. About
six years ago a group of Mor
mons arrived at the small mar
ket town near their home. The
boy was then fifteen, the girl,
twelve. The Monnons held
meetings, and held out golden
promises to all who, would join
the church and emigrate to Utah.
Mr. and Mrs. Coultard were
Methodists and did not attend
the meetings, but the boy's cu-
riosity was excited, and as from
jduv to day lie listened to the
aureate description of the mis
r'; 1'! ' l'

i'fired, and he begged his parents
'to allow him to go to America.
;lie vlls a wilful lad, and pray
!ers, commands and remonstran-
(ces were unavailing. Bidding

ciuntion. Time went on and
boy, so tin father decided to go
ff,
in search of him. Soon
after
Captain Coultard sailed,
the
mother received a letter from
the boy saying that the Mor
mons had taken all his money
and had prevented him from
writhiLT home, until one day a
lady had given him five cents,
with which he bought a postage
stamp. The letter said little
further except that he was alive
aud well.
Captain Coultard arrived in
Ogden about three years ago
and found his son working on
a farm. He was graciously re
ceived by the Mormon authori
ties and much attention was
shown him. Jle was delighted
with the country and the cli
mate, and saw and heard only
the sunny side of matters. lie
made up his mind to try Mor
mon life and declared his inten
tion of joining the church. He
was taken into partnership by a
farmer and invested what mon
ey lie had with him. He wrote
to his wife announcing his in
tention and asked her to sell oif
his fanning stock ami come out
and join him. The letter was
not mailed to Mrs. Coultarl, but
through the Mormon missiona
ries at her home she received
her husband's letter and another
letter instructing her to sell the
farm stock and hand the pro
ceeds to tho missionaries for
safe keeping. Her brother, a
Loudon mechanic, was staying
on the farm with her tho time.
He managed the sale and pock
eted the proceeds, leaving his
sister only money enough to pay
her outward expenses. He said
that when she had one years ex
perience in Utah she might
write to him. If she was pleas
ed with the country and its so
cial conditions he would send
her the money. '1 If not, lie
would send enough to bring her
home, and the balance would
await her return. He war, a
bright, practical man, as tiie se
quel proves.
Mrs. Coultard, in charge of
Elder Grcenwall, set out from
Liverpool with' a consignment j
oz Mormon emigrants. iter
treatment on tho vessel she de
scribed as terrible. The Mor
mon elders, "in the name of
God and the saints,'' submitted
the best looking women and
firls to the grossest familiari
ties. They were bound with
fearful oaths not to complain to
the ship authorities. All repul
ses were met by the argument
that the elders were licensed by
the church of which all were to
become mem hers. Some few
of the women resisted the ad
vances, and they were treated
with the most cruel neglect. On
thr jit-riviinr at Cattle Garden
Mis. Cogltard was ill from the
effects of the voyage and was
treated with the greatest indif-fcri-r.ee,
while women who had
been more complaisant to the
advances of the coarse brutes
received every attention
Captain coultard met his wile
in Otrden, and was indignant
when he hoard when lie heard
how the Mormon elders had tri
ed to become gossesscd of the
proceeds of his farm sale. The
couple resolved to leave the ter
ritory as soon as circumstances
would permit. Past experience
hail shown the futility of going
against the wishes of the Mor
mon authorities, and it was re
solved to' keep their determina
tion a secret and pretend to join
the church. This was done,
and "Mrs. Coultard announced
that she would be "endowed" as
soon as she felt spiritually pure
enough. The captain said that
he would go in with his wife.
The pressure vas made so strong
toat they were about to
go
through the ceremony of join
ing the church when a lady who
lit i . r-
had been "endowed ' told Mrs.
Coultard about her experiences,
and she resolved that eIic would"
rather die than submit to the
vulgarly brutal and indecent or
deal. "She told me," Mrs.
Coultard subsequently said,
"that at the endowment house
at Logan temple the women
were taken into one department
and the men into another. The
AWHvenremdr8eUbfttih3T
aud annoiuted with oil. They
were thzi taken in tin's condi
tion into a large room painted
in imitation of a forest, where
they were to go thro.igh thecer
eniony entitled the "temptation
of Adam and eve. The garden
of Eden, which was the room
represented, was at one end cut
oif from another room by a drop
curtain. As the women stood
in a row a sister of the church
whispered to each her new san
tified name, which she was nev
er to divult-rc. "When the cur
tain rose the remainder of the
ceremony was altogether too re
pulsive to talk about." She
told her husband what she had
heard, and both resolved to keep
away from the "endowment''
house. Uy one excuse ar anoth
er the ceremony was postponed
from time to time till August,
lS'SO, when the crop on the
farm on which Coultard was in
terested was ready to harvest,
ft was a good season, and the
proceeds would be suilicicnt to
take the couple back to England.
Then one day the captain told a
young Mormon friend of his
intention. Two days later lie
was brought home dead. He
had been found drowned, yet
there was a terrible mark on the
back of his head, and tiie blood
was still ooiting from the mouth
and nose. There was no pretense
of an investigation, and when the
widow demanded her . husband's
property she was loid that it be
longed to tho church. Then
tempting promises were held out
to her and seductive llatteries
poured in her car. She was
strongly persuaded to go to the
"endowment" house, when a
young, handsome and wealthy
husband would be provided for
her. She reserved her answer
for a night, and during that night
lied to Ogden City, where shu
found employment in a hotel, and
remained there till June of the
current year, when she thought
she had saved enough to pay her
passage.
Her brother-in-law saw her in
her passage through New York
to Liverpool and heard the fore
going particulars from her lip-.
She knew nothing of what had
become of her son. 1 ler daugh

uncle.
