SALT LAKE CIrY, L. T., Nov. 23.-The
investigation being held to determine
whether alien Mormons are eligible for
naturalization was resumed before
Judge Anderson Friday morning.
Henry w. Lawrence, who was on the
stand when court adjourned Thursday
evening, was recalled for cross-exam-
ination, and the. church attorneys failed
to shake his evidence. Mr.. Lawrence
stated that he believed the Mormon
people would become loyal IL their lead
crs did not teach disloyal doctrines.
4 number of witnesses testified that
In May, 1870, there was big demon
stration in this city in honor Of the re-
lease Of Daniel II. Wells from the peni-
tentiary, where he had been committed
for contempt os court in refusing to an
sper questions regarding the endowment
house ceremonies. They testified that
q procession Of many thousand Nor
mons went up the main street trailing
the American flag In the dust, and In
passing tho Federal courthouse thy
saw Judge Emerson, who had committed
Wells, standing on the balcony and
yelled and hooted at him.
Tho defense called Joseph Follct to
refute the testimony given by Witness
Wardell in regard to tho killing Of
Green for apostacy in 1882. Witness
testified that he had never heard of the
affair before.
The prosecution then offered in cvi-
dence paper served on member Of the
Mormon church by Bishop Hisward
citing him to appear in the Bishops
court TO be tried for obtaining judg-
ment in the United States Court against
another member of the church for fail
nre to perform contract. This course
fully demonstrates the charge made that
the church does dictate and control tenn
poral affairs.
Attorneys for the church denied that
polygamus marriages werc now being
solemnized, but when questioned admit
ted no record Of such marriages were
kept, and that they had no means Of
Knowing II they wero being solemnized
or not.
