THE ROBERTS CASE.
The Mormon is Making a Hard Fight
for His Seat in the House.


Washington, Dec. 9-The case of
Roberts, of Utah, resumed this morn.
tho La -tl--1H~-----s ----.is,-ssI.sss s1ars-
mittee. Roberts was present to plead
to certain psecific interrogatories
which had been framed. Proceedings
were held behind closed doors. Rob
erts first asked if he conceded the
existence of the court record wherein
he pleaded guilty, in 1899, under the
Edmunds-Tucker law. This he con-
ceded. He was next asked whether.
about 1890 or since 1890, he had mar
ried plural wives and lived with them
since that time as his wives. To the
whole of this charge Roberts pleaded
not guilty, then demurred as to the
jurisdiction of the committe for tho
Following reasons:
First-On the ground of the viola
ton of constitutional rights in that it
attempted to try him for a crime with
out the presentment of an indictment
by the grand jury and without trial be-
fore a jury and due process Of law
Seeond-That is was an attempt to
deprive him of vested property he
held in the emoluments of the office
for a full term.
Third-That the only evidence that
could be rightfully considered by the
committee was the court record and
establishing guilt, confessed or
proven, of the representative elect.
and the committee has no right to con-
slider any other evidence.
Feurth-The crime alleged, namely
that of unlawful oohabitation, even if
proven, would not constitute a suffi.
cient crime to bar a member, or de
prive him of his seat, because limo
cence of polygamy or unlawful oohabi
tation is nowhere enumerated in the
constitution as a qualification fol
the Office of member of Congress, mol
is it named in any United States Law
applicable to Utah or any other state
Roberts argued these points for nearly
two hours. 1t was a legal contro
versy throughout, the facts not being
gone into at length. Roberts conclud
ed by asking that his prima faci'
right to a seat be at once considered
as the present status denied to soy
ereign state representation in th'
House at time when injurious legis
lation affecting that state might taxi
place.
/ At the conclusion of Roberts state
