Washington, Dec. 13--The committee
OF the House OF Representatives which
is investigating the case Of Mr., Roberts
u Utah, began the examination Of Wit
nesses 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. Or. lin, Mr.. Schroeder,an others
here to direct the attention Of Congress
TO the member-elect
When Chairman Tayler (ohlo) called
the committee to order and asked what
witnesses would be heard. Mr.. Roberts
arose and asked TO be Informed as to
his status before the committee. He
made a short statement In line with his
brief which has already been published.
Mr., Tayler responded that all Of Mr..
Roberts's rights had been fully looked
after and protected, and there was no
proper question which had not been
raised.
Mr Tayler then asked Mr.. Schroeder
what witnesses he would call,
Does this man appear as Attorney
asked Roberts.
He will examine witnesses" ex-
planned the chairman.
Then ! wish 10 Introduce the court

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 II was at the direction Of b. H.
Roberts"
Mr. Schroeder said later testimony
would bring out the materially OF the
questions, and Mr.. Tayler ruled that
the competency OF the questions could

The witness was then crOss-examned
by Mr. Roberts. whose questions
brought out that the witness had no
personal knowledge as 70 Mrs. Maggie
Roberts or Mr. Roberts based on talks
