WASHINGTON, April 20th.--A decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court to-day
in the polygamy case Of Rudger Clawson
against the United States, brought here by
writ OF error from the Supreme Court OF

indicted for polvgamy at the April term OF
1884 of the District Court of Utah, and
after trial was found guilty and sentenced
to fine of $500 and four years imprison-
ment. He appealed to the Supreme Court
of the Territory, and that tribunal having
affirmed the judgment of the District
Court, brought his case here for re-
view, upon the ground that the grand
and petit Jurors by which he was
indicted and tried were illegally constituted.
The alleged Illegally in the impaneling of
the Grand Jury consisted IN the exclusion,
upon challenge of the person who be-
lieved the man had a right to have more
than one undivorced wife living at the same
time, and in the case of the petit jury, in
the drawing of the jurors from an "Open
venire" after the whole annual jury list of
800 had been exhausted through the eXclu-
sion of polygamists. This Court. in a
carefully prepared opinion of Justice
Blatchford, decides against the plaintiff in
error upon both the points raised.
