Tell How Many Wives He Had.

Investigation as to the oaths taken by the
Mormons in the Endowment house and the
general tendency of the teaching of the church
IN regard to the government was resumed at
Salt Lake city yesterday. c. W. Penrose, ed
itor of the Ae,cs and one of the Mormon lead
ers, who had refused to answer a question as
to how many wives he had, was again ques-
toned and again hatly declined to answer.
The question was discussed at length by the
attorneys. but the court said the witness was
squarely in contempt and would be committed
to the penitentiary until he purged himself.
1t was further stated that hereafter in the in
yestigation any witness who declined to answer
and did not put his declination on some legal
ground would be compelled to answer. The
commitment not obeyed. Penrose had a
long consultation with President Woodruff and
George @. Cannon. In the afternoon he was
taken to the penitentiary

They Promised to Leave the CITY.

Late last night Policeman Geghan of the
fourth precinct noticed two young men whose
suspicious actions caused him to arrest them.
They were on Maryland avenue near the long
bridge and were looking about the door ways,
which caused the officer to believe that they
intended to enter some house. When he took
them in custody they said they were looking
for a place to sleep; that they had beat their
way here on the cars from New York and were
on their way to Richmond. They gave their
names as John Rich and William Brendon.
When taken before Judge Miller this morning
they promised to leave the city and the Judge
took their personal bonds. That means for
you to leave town." remarked Baiiff Kendig.
You bet well CO." remarked one of them.

the District of Columbia, and was duly mus
tered into the United States service prior to
and under President Lincolns call for troops

listed shall be reimbursed for the purchase of
