WASHINGTON, Dec 13.--The commit
tee of the house OF representatives which
Is investigating the case of Mr., Roberts.
OF Utah. began the examination Of witt
ncsses at 1880 today. A large number OF
spectators was present, including many
ladies. Mr.. Roberts occupied a seat at the
foot OF the committee table, while flank
ing him was the delegation OF Gentiles.
Rev. DIR. nifr, Mrs. Schroeder and others,
here to direct the attention OF congress
to the nember-olect.
When Chairman Tayler, Of Ohio, called
the committee to order, and asked what
witness would be heard, Mr.. Roberts arose
and asked to be informed as to his status
before the committee. He made q short
statement in line with his brief. which has
already been published.
Mr.. Taylor responded that all of Mr..
Roberts rights had been fully looked after
ard protected, and there was no proper
question which had not been raised
Mr.. Taylor then asked Mr. Schroeder
what witnesses he would call
Does this man appear as attorneyf"
asked Roberts
aHe VIII examine witnesses" explained
the chairman.
.sThen / wish to introduce the court rec
ord relating to him. said Roberts
Mr.. Taylor said this had already boon
nassed on Saturday. and Schroeder had
been recognized.
Charles Nj. Owen was then called. He
gave his residence as Salt Lake City. IN
response to questions by Mr.. Schroeder. he
said he knew the general reputation in
Salt Lake City Of the status Of "Dr.
Maggie G. Shipp Roberts,"
The witness said that the general repu-
tation of the status OF Roberts and Dr.
Maggie c. Shipp Roberts was that they
maintained the relation Of husband and
wife.
While the questions were being put as
to Mrs. Maggie Roberts. Roberts inter-
rupted with the objection:
What this lady may have done Is I'm
material in the absence Of any showing
that It was at the direction Of b. H. Rob-
Mr.. Schroeder said later testimony would
bring out the materially of the question,
and Mr.. Taylor ruled that the competency
OF the questions could be judged by the
subsequent testimony. The witness was
then cross-examined by Mr.. Roberts
whose questions brought out that the witt
ness had no personal knowledge as to Mrs.
Maggie Roberts or Mr. Roberts based on
talks with them, but his information was
general and Of common repute.
II want to know" said Mr.. Roberts, ''if
tifying to obtains since March 4, 1892"
ut does"
"And what is that reputation"
THAT Maggie C. Ship Roberts is tho
plural OF, polygamous wife Of Brigham II.
"On what acts is this general reputation
based?" inquired Roberts.

lions in Utah would not be entered at
present.

ecutive session prior to adjourning.
