OANNON,s SENTENCE.
The Defiant Hearing of the Bold Nor
mon I'm the Court Room.


mon I'm the Court Room.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, May 11.-When
Angus Cannon was called up for sentence
Saturday he said that he was conscious OF
having violated no law. His conscience
was serene. He had obeyed the Edmunds
law as he understood it-that is, while
living in the same house with his
wives he had had intercourse with
but one. He loved his children
and was gratifed to hear the court say
that the law made them equal heirs. He
inferred from this that in case he was
tried in any State his children would be
equal heirs before the law, and he thought
that in view OF this 1t was unjust to hold
a man a criminal for eating with them
and their mothers at the table. His
record was before the country, and his
heart and conscience was visible tO God,
who created him. The record OF his life
in contact with this people here he turned
and waved his hand TO the crowd bore him
up to receive such sentence as the court
should impose. He felt pleased also that
the court had stated that bis conduct to-
wards his respective wives since the pass
age Of the Edmunds bill should be taken
into consideration when sentence was be-
ing passed. He would submit and bow
to the DEGREES of the court, trusting to be
able TO bear up under any sentence it
might inflict in such a manner as 10 give
evidence to his children that he had not
lost his manhood. CannOn's speech was
received with great applause, which the
Marshals had to check. When the court
asked Cannon II he declined 10 make any
promise in regard 20 the future, he re-
piled; 81 have never been in the habit Of
making to my children promises lest they
should failD
