MORMON CHURCHMAN ISSUED
E. L. Kelley, Trustee, and 0. H. Miller
Ch.rged with Fraudulent Transaction.
GUARDIAN OF AGED MAN BRINGS ACTION
Claims Official of Latter Day Saints
and Other Defendant Conspired
to Obtain Possession of
Property.
John M. Macfarland. acting for James.
A. Woodman, guardian of Henry Jones,
has brought suits in the district court
against E. L. Kelley, trustee of the Re
organized Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter Day Saints, and Oeorge H. Miller.
The suits are to recover possession of
property alleged to have been secured
from Henry Jones by fraudulent means
and the petitions make sensational allega
tions, which are set forth in much detail.
Briefly the facts are alleged to be as follows:
After many years of labor, In the spring
of 1899 Jones was the owner of a piece of
property with two houses on It near
Twenty-fourth and Clark streets. On
April 9 of that year he executed a deed
to Kelley, signed, as the petition has it,
by himself and "one Jane Jones, who
claimed to he his wife." The consideration
was stated as "$1 and other valuable con
siderations." Jones was at that time 86
years old and as his guardian claims, was
non compos mentis, fast fading into a
senile condition and unable to lawfully
execute any Instrument. It Is alleged the
giving of the deed was the culmination
of a conspiracy to obtain possession of
Jones' property, worth to exceed $3,000,
and It Is charged that all was taken from
him but about $400 worth and that those
who got the deeds were strangers who
had no claim on the property or on Jones.
It is charged that tbe offenders even took
his $C0 gold x watch. This, the petition
says, is now In $he possession of "the
Mormon bishop," not named, who re
fuses to give it up. Other personal prop
erty also Is alleged to have been taken,
leaving the old man with only a table, a
chair, a stove and one comfort. This lat
ter charge Is used specifically In the suit
against Miller, but both suits are based
on the same state of facts, practically.
Promised Home In Iowa.
It Is alleged that In return for his prop
erty deeded to Kelley, Jones was to be
given a home at' the "Saints Home at
Lamonl, la.," where the church would
look after his bodily comfort In this
world and his soul In the next." In
October, 1S99, he was taken to the home
at Lamoni, where, It Is charged, he was
put at manual labor. The following April
he escaped and came back to Omaha.
Then, fhe petition goes on to say, "an
old woman who called herself Susan F.
Jones,'.' was . sent after him. She culti
vated him, It Is charged, until she finally
was married to him In May, 19C0, Rftei
deceiving the county Judge here as to his
mental condition. A Mormon who Is not
named Is alleged to have practically
forced tho old man to be married, and it
is charged that this marriage Is Illegal
and void for several reasons, principal
among them being the practice of deceit
and the mental incapacity of the groom.
Later, according to Mr. Macfarland' re
cital, the "Mormon bishop" divorced the
pair and ordered the wife to take posses
sion of all the personal property as noted
above. It is charged against Miller that
he Is the son of Mrs. Jones and that he
was engaged In the alleged conspiracy to
the extent of coming to Omaha with his
family on money taken from Jones by his
mother and also of taking possession of the
best house of the two and making the old
couple live in the rear house on the lot.
He Is to be asked to make restitution to
the extent of $30 a month from March,
1899. He should also surrender, the peti
tion says, a deed to property made March
18, 1899, in .which deed Jones reserved a
monthly rental of $5 during the natural
lives of the old folks, which It is charged
never was paid. Kelley Is also to be made
to surrender the deed to htm.

Two Mortaraarea In Salt.
Entering Into the suits are two mort
gages said to have been made by Jones,
one to Jossle Fraser for 250, and one to
Fred D. Wead for H.06O. It is Bet out that
Jonas was Incompetent to, make a mort
gage, and that both Instruments should
be declared void, that title to the property
In question should be quieted In Jones
and that the whole of the alleged con
spiracy by, a person denominated in the
petition "a tithe gatherer of the Mor
mon church" should be defeated and made
null by the court.
The property Involved in the suits is
described as the north half of lot ll, block
12, E. V. Smith's addition, and the south
half of lot 6, block 13, same addition.
Jones has a niece who Is the wit of Con

latter who Is seeking to protect the old
man through the guardian appointed by
the county court on June 7.

Reviving pleasant memories of their un
dergraduate days, the senior class of 1906 of
the High school held their banquet at the
Paxtoh last night. An elaborate menu
and a well-arranged list of toasts furnished
an evening of entertainment well fitted to
mark the last large social function in
which the class In its entirety will parti
cipate. Preceding the banquet an informal recep
tion was held in the parlors of the hotel.
The receiving committee was composed of
Mrs. Ida Fleming, Curtis Lindsay, the class
president, and Miss' Kate McHugh, class
teacher. From the parlors the class
marched to the banquet hall, where much
of the best that the culinary art affords,
awaited them, with the proper trimmings
of oratory slated to follow.
"The New Point," was dwelt upon by
Principal Waterhouse, who pointed out
some of the Illusions that pupils In their
high school course are apt to have, but
which the acquiring of experience In the
proper season is bound to dispel. He gave
them pointed maxims and well worded bits
of advice to take to heart and remember.
Superintendent Davidson spoke on "The
End of the Play," saying that the drama
of a high school career was closed for a
class that iad shown Its merit and of
which the institution that it leaves may
well be proud. Ills advice to the young
people was: "Place your ideal ahead of
you and pursue It until you have ob
tained it." Ho said that what a man is
today he will be tomorrow. Touching the
subject more closely he explained that if
during his school days a pupil is con
scientious, determined, upright and
wholesomely ambitious he will bo so In
the future when confronted with the
serious problems of life. In the same
connection he said: "You must dedicate
yourselves to the service of your fellow
men and In discharging this duty every
one muct work helpfully and soulfully."
Some striking ideas were brought out
in the toasts responded to by the class
members themselves. The following sub
jects wcro discussed: "Tho Class of
19(16," Curtis Lindsay; "Tho Might-Have
Ileens," Miss Anna Cajori; "Emancipa
tion," Donald Douglus; "The Senior's
Rubaiyat," Arthur Procter; "The Old
l name; Honlor Troubles," Homer Conant.
Lyman Bryson presided as toastmaster.
At the conclusion of the program the
class united In singing a song that was
written especially for the occasion.
