The Billiard Habsas Corpus Case

AS anticipated, it was not long be-
fore the question of the validity of
the billiard ordinance, which was
up before Judge Emerson a few
days ago, and dismissed on a tech
nicality without any opinion being
passed as to the validity of the ordi-
nance, was again called into ques
ton. Messrs. Russell & Burns, who
are proprietors of the Gem Billiard
Hall, had failed to take out a license
under the new ordinance, in cOnse-
.quence of which they were arrested
on Saturday. The result was the
issuance of writ of hGbedS corpus,
and on Monday afternoon the matter
was brought up before Judge Hun
ter, sitting in chambers. The arrest
was made for running without a
license, and the return, bringing up
the validity of the ordinance, the
matter was discussed, Judges Suth-
erland 81 Mcbride appearing for the
petitioners, and Mr.. Miner for the
city. The attorneys for the petit
TONERS held that Russell e Burns
were justified in failing to take out
a license for the reasons that the
ordinance does not purport to be
passed in the exercise of the city'S
power to tax; and that the ordin-
ance is an abuse of the power to
license, because it is perverted to the
purpose of raising revenue, and
revenue can only be raised by tax
alton. The arguments on both sides
were quite brief and the matter was
submitted and taken under advise
ment.

mony of his alleged second wife
was admitted to prove the marriage
of Miles to wife number one. The
conclusions of this court are:
ElrSt-It is evident from the eX-
animation of the jurors on their COir
dire, that they believed polygamy
was ordained of God and that the
practice of polygamy was obedience
to the will of God. at common law
this would have been ground for the
principal challenge of jurors guilty.
of the same act. 1t needs no argu-
ment to show that a jury composed
of men entertaining such a belief
could not have been free from bias
or prejudiceS on the trial for bigamy
of a personwho entertained the same
belief, and whose offense consisted
in the act of living in polygamy, but
whether the evidence of this bias
was sufficient or not, it was so found
by triers and that was conclusive.
Seeond-That the District Court
committed no error in admitting
the declarations of Miles to prove
his first marriage.
Third-That the court below did
err in allowing Caroline Owens,
the second wife, to give evil
dence against Miles touching
his marriage with Emily Spencer.
the first wife. The law of
Utah declares that a husband shall
not be a witness for or against his
wife, or the wife for or against her
husband. The marriage of Miles
with Caroline Owens was charged
in the indictment and admitted by
him upon trial. The fact of his pre-
vious marriage with Emily Spencer
was therefore the only issue in the
case, and that was contested to the
end of the trial. Until the fact of
the marriage of Emily Spencer with
Miles was established, Caroline
Owens was prtmG .fdcie his wife,
and she could not be used as wit
ness. Nearly all authorities agree
that as long as the fact of the first
marriage is contested, the second
wife cannot be admitted to prove it.
1t is made clear, by the record, that
polygamous marriages are celebrated
| In Utah, so as to make proof OF
polygamy very difficult. They
are conducted in secret, and the
persons by whom they are solemn
lied are under such obligations to
secresy that it is almost impossible
to extract facts from them when
placed upon the witness stand. II
both wives are excluded from testi.
mony to the first marriage, as in the
opinion of the court they should be
under the existing rules of evil
ldence, testimony sufficient to con.
yict for polygamy in Utah is hardl
attainable. This is not, however, {
consideration which ought to in
fiuence this court. 1t must admin
lister the law as it finds it. The
remedy is with Congress, by enact
ling such change in the law of evil
dence in Utah as to make both wives
witnesses in an Indictment for big
fanny. For the error above indicated
the judgment of the Supreme COurt
lof Utah is reversed, and the cause
demanded for new trial. Justice
Woods delivered the opinion.

HOpt Sentenced.

1t had generally been believed that
Frederick Hopt, who was convicted
of the murder of John F. Turner,
at Park City, on July 4th, at the
present term of this court, on the
10th day of February, 1881, would
be sentenced to death on the 9th OF
April. 1t has been noted, however,
that every time he was brought into
the court a mob followed him to
the court room and back to the jail.
as though he were a wild beast, and
he asked as a favor that he be SEN
fenced on the quiet. To this Judge
Emerson readily consented, and
Hopt was taken before Judge Elmer
son at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon
to be sentenced. He was asked if he
had ANYTHING to say, when he arose
and said alt is a horrible charge,
but l am innocent. innocent y
Thereupon Judge Emerson SEN
fenced him as follows:
cit is the judgement of the court
that you be taken from here to
some place of confinement in this
district; that YOU be thus safely
kept until Friday, the 10Th day of
May next; that between the
hours of 10 o'clock in the
forenoon and 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon of the last named day, in
the yard of the Jail or place where
you are confined; or in some other
private place, in this district, you be
shot 11nfil Won are dead
The prisoner showed no emotion
at the sentence. As the statute
gives the prisoner a choice of hang
ing or shooting, Judge Emerson, be-
fore passing the sentence, asked
which he preferred, when he re-
piled: "If it comes to that, prefer
shooting" He was then led back to
the Jail. 1t is understood that the
case will be appealed.
