THE DOOM OF MORMONISM, . , , 3? IN THE HOLY BATH. THE MYSTERIES OF MORMONISM. CHAPTER I. Mormonism has well been called the twin relic of barbarism. It is more. It is an infamy even modern barbarism scarcely tol- erates. The Turk preserves a certain decency in the public man- agement of his seraglio nowadays, and the Orientally atnlacious flaunt- ing of his sensual indulgence which makes the old romances of the East so unique in their naughty piquancy has vanished. He has his scores of wives still but he keeps them in private, and when he goes among men who are not of his faith he does not attempt to proselytize them or to extend his branded creed. How different it is with the devotee of that bestial belief who covers, or essays to cover, the rottenness of his creed with the claim to Divine endorsement, thanks to which he dubs himself a Latter Day Saint ! No modest obscurity for him ! No humble enjoyment of his licen- tious worships in the secrecy of his own house ! The world must know it; and not only that, the world must contribute to its support and expansion. The Mormon missionary goes abroad in the highways and byways of the earth, preaching his creed of the bagnio to the ignorant and depraved and gathering them into the fold. If Mormonism had its root in the remote wilds of Siberia this condition of affairs would be bad enough. What can be said of it, then, when it nestles in the bosom of the greatest and freest nation of tin* earth and blots the boasted civilization of a republic which has done more in a century than any other governments in all their exist- ences to enlighten and improve the world? The polygamy of the Mormon community is the foulest ulcer on the body of our nation. The trial of the assassin of President Gar- 7 EVEBY WIPE IS QIVEN SO MUCH OF THE HUSBAND'S MONEY.

France, once in England and thrice in the United States, was she compelled to call upon the strong arm of the law to shield her, and each time the same mysterious threat of ultimate destruction was conveyed to her from an enemy who might be baffled but not defeated. At last accident came to her rescue. Last year a passenger steamer on its way from Europe to America was wrecked and many lives were lost. The passenger list was pub- lished. Among the names upon it was the writer's and it belonged to one of the drowned. That name was entered in the "red book," the sinister record kept of the foes whom Mormonism has denounced. Against it was set a black cross and the remark, "The Lord hath conquered! Glory to his " name ! Thus, dead but alive, I give this work to the world. It was written during years of wandering, and chapters of it first saw the light in many foreign lands. But it is complete and honest. What it may lack in style it makes up in fact. It is no fault of mine that the stories it fclls read like romances and are a shame upon the land in which their incidents were enacted. I trust and desire that the reader will remember this. I write from actual experience.

It is to-day a monstrous crime grown from the successful fraud of a shrewd confi- dence operator. The founder of Mormonism was Joseph Smith. Born at Sharon, Windsor County, Vermont, on Dec. 23, 1805, he came of the worst of a bad breed. His parents were "hard cases," and renowned as such throughout the neighborhood.

DESCENDANTS OF JAMES SANDS OF BLOCK ISLAND With notes on the WALKER, HUTCHINSON, RAY, GUTHRIE, PALGRAVE, CORNELL, AYSCOUGH, MIDDAGH, HOLT, AND HENSHAW FAMILIES Compiled by MALCOLM SANDS WILSON Privately Printed New York • 1949 Copyright 1949 by Malcolm Sands Wilson 770 Park Avenue, New York 21, N. Y. All rights reserved PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA The William Byrd Press, Inc., Richmond, Virginia Foreword The purpose of this Genealogy of the Sands Family, which is the result of much research, is to put on record a more comprehensive account than any so far published in this country. The "Descent of Comfort Sands & of his Children," by Temple Prime, New York, 1886; and "The Direct Forefathers and All the Descendants of Richardson Sands, etc.," by Benjamin Aymar Sands, New York, 1916, (from both of which volumes I have obtained material) are excellent as far as they go, but their scope is very limited, as was the intention of their com­ pilers. I have not attempted to undertake a full and complete genealogy of this family, but have endeavored to fill certain lines and bring more nearly to date the data collected by the late Fanning C. T. Beck and the late LeBaron Willard, (brother-in-law of my aunt Caroline Sands Willard). I take this opportunity to express my thanks to all members of the family who have rendered cheerful and cooperative assistance. It had been my intention to have a Part II in this volume, in which the English Family of Sands, Sandes, Sandis or Sandys were to have been treated, and where the connecting link between James Sands of Block Island and his English forebears was to be made clear.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT ROBERT RAY HAMILTON (1891)1 Text

    THE TRUTH ABOUT ROBERT RAY HAMILTON (1891)1 Text. by John Randolph Spears, Correspondent of The Sun Robert Ray Hamilton (1851-1890) was the great-grandson of U.S. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Trained as a lawyer, he entered politics, serving in the New York Assembly on five occasions between 1881 and 1889. Beset by marital trouble, Hamilton moved west in 1890, where he purchased a half-share in a remote ranch near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. and built a tourist lodge. That September he was reported dead, but doubts persisted about the truth of this claim. The following year, the Sun’s reporter John Spears travelled to the lodge; there the body was exhumed and a coroner’s report was issued. The identity of the corpse was confirmed and the circumstances of his death were finally established. A Coroner's Inquest Held at the Open Grave Five Days Ago. Surgical and Other Testimony Show Conclusively That the Body was that of Hamilton—Buried with His Spurs on in a Rude Box—Identified by the Teeth, by a fracture of the leg, and Other Decisive Evidence— Painful Rumors in the Northwest Finally Set at Rest—Driving Through a Snow Storm to Perform this Last Service—A Neglected Grave—A Sun Reporter Sent from New York Settles Forever the Question of Identity. MARKET LAKE, Idaho, Oct 14 [1891].
