In Salt Lake City, on March 7, 1944, in another attempt to stamp out the remnants of polygamy in Utah, federal and state authorities arrested 50 men and women. Some of them were charged by the federal government with violations of the Mann Act. Others were charged by the state with conspiring to "advocate, promote, teach, encourage and advise polygamous marriages."

Among those charges under Utah law were the man in the family group shown here and four of the women with him. Dr. Rulon C. Allred is a naturopathic physician, whose father once served as speaker of the Idaho House of Representatives.

He is accused of illegal cohabitation with and having as polygamous wives the following adults: Mabel Finlayson (top left), Leona Jeffs (top second left), Myrtle Allred (right of Dr. Allred), and Mary Mills (center on the couch).

Before he died, Dr. Allred's father had three wives and 21 children. His mother's father had five wives and 32 children.

Только в маленькой семье, в тесном домашнем кругу вы найдете уют и тот душевный покой, который есть лучшее и наивысшее благо из всех уготованных нам в этом мире. Поверьте мне, десять — от силы двенадцать — жен предостаточно для вас, не переступайте этой границы.
