court Of the territory Saturday evening in
an appeal ia the cases Of Cannon and MUS
sey, who are serving terms in the penitsn-
tiary for polygamy, brushes the last hope
of the plural wiyed elders. In the lower
court Chief Justice Zane held that all that
was necessary TO establish unlawful eohabi-
tation under the EdMuuds law was proof
that the man occupied the same house with
two women whom he held out a. wives,
though no marriage ceremony had ever
been performed and there had been no
