THE SUPREME COURT DECISION YESTERDAY.
1t was mentioned In yesterdays STAR that
the United States Supreme Court had affirmed
the Judgment OF the supreme court OF Utah In
the case of Angus NJ. Cannon indicted under
the Edmunds act for unlawful rehabilitation
with more than one woman, convicted and
sentenced to fine and Imprisonment The evi'
dence showed that Mr.. Cannon had three wives
Amanda, Sarah and Clara. He lived In the
house with Amanda and Clara and their lam
lilies. Sarah lived elsewhere. Mr.. Cannon took
third week day, and one OF the three meals
on Sunday with each The principal question
in the case was as to the meaning OF the word
cohabit. which the court defined In accordance
with Webster and Worcester 10 mean TO live to-
gether as husband and wife. The opinion con-
was made, In argument, not to uphold the
rulings OF the trial court because that would
require polygamous husband not only 10
cease living with his plural wives. but also 60
abandon the women themselves; and the
supreme Court Of the United States WAS
asked 10 indicate what the conduct Of the hus-
band towards them must be In order TO conform
TO the requirements Of the law. The court says
that no court can say In advance what particu-
lar state OF things will be lawful further than
one woman In the sense of the word "cohabit''
as defined In the decision. While Congress had
legittmatcd the issue OF pol gamous marriages
born before January 1, 1888. II left the conduct
OF the man towards the poygamous wife To be
regulated by considerations which, outside OF
section 3, are not covered by the statute, and
which must be dealt with judici,ally when pro-
perry presented. Justices Miller and Field dis
sented. Justice Miller, in his dissenting
opinion, says he thinks that the act OF Congress
