cohabitation or living with more
Y than one woman, and from the
| fact OF marriage presumption IS
raised OF cohabitation with the legal
wife that presumption is not conclu-
sive but may be rebutted andin this
case had been rebutted by positive
testimony showing that the defendant
had not lived with the legal wife but
had lived exclusively with one of the
plural wives, Minnie.
| He claimed that the records in these
cases showed conclusively that there had
been no actual cohabitation with more
than one woman and said the judg.
ment of the lower court could
! not be upheld unless this court adopted
the theory advanced by theCounsel Tor
the prosecution at the trial that the hold
ing out or acknowledgement by the de-
PENDANT OF the women as wives was the
glst OF the offense, and that such a
construction would do away entirely
with the necessity of cOhabiting or liy-
ing together. This had never been de-
clared to be the law and yet
the jurors who tried these cases
could not have found the de
PENDANT guilty on any other possible
theory. They were told by Els Honor
WIZ P1CoA GU dJ. IuC lHc
Edmunds law says there must be an
end to the relationship previously exist
ing between polygamists. 1t says that
relationship must cease" 'Thisinstruc-
ton was in direct conflict with the de-
cision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, in the case of Murphy
vs.. Ramsey. That Court says, The
statute makes an express distinction
between bisamists and polygamists on
the one hand and those who cohabit with
more than one woman on the other.i
The crime and offense of polyg-
amy consists in the fact of un-
lawful marriage. Continuing to
live in that state afterwards is not an
offense. although cohabitation with
more than one woman is But as one
may be living in a biyamous or polyg-
amous state without eohabitation with
more than one woman. he is in that
sense bigamist or polvgamist, and
yet guilty OF no criminal offense."
Certainly this language of the court of
last resort does not say that the rela-
tionship must cease, and there are no
such words in the law itself, hence it
was a manifest error to so instruct the
jury. 1t was equivalent to telling them
after the defendant had admitted the
women to be his wives that upon such
admission he was guilty, and they must.
so find Such construction made the
status of a polygamist criminal, al
though he married his wives before the
Edmunds law was passed, as did the
appellant, and to. so hold would
be to violate the constitutional prohibit
bition against the passage of er post factO
laws. Such constitution could not be
l,aIl H. L. Il
declared. tsa .rl.a. $50
Mr. Richards read authorities and
discussed several of the most important
points involved, insisting that the evil
dence in each case was insufficient TO
justify the verdict and that the court
had so erred in his charge TO the jury
and in his refusals to give the instruc
tons asked for by the defendant that
the judgments of the lower court must
be reversed. His argument was clear,
logical and earnest.
