construction upon his course.
Mr.. Roberts endeavored to show that DIR.
Lift was in the east to raise funds for mis-
mission. but DR.. lift denied this, and said
that as he was travelling at his own eX-
pense he accepted contributions
Mr. Roberts then endeavorcd to show
that DR., lift had once plagiarized a ser
mon, but the committee held that this was
not relevant.
1T does not conform to the dignity OF
your case to go into such detail" said
Chairman Tayler to Mr.. Roberts. None of
DR.. lifts statements Of fact, made under

Last Witness for Today.
Rev. G. w. Martin, a Presbyterian min
lister of Manti, Utah, was next sworn He
said the general reputation of Mr. Roberts
with Celia Dibble Roberts and Maggie Shipp
Roberts was that of holding polygamous
relations. AS to Celia Dibble Roberts, it
was generally reputed that twins had been
born to Celia Dibble Roberts. He had
never heard denial of these things, but had
heard many things in confirmation.
Referring to Gov. Wells speech, Mr.
Martin said it had the effect generally upon
people of convincing them that Mr. Roberts
was guilty of the polygamous relations
charged.
Mr.. Roberts wanted to know If Gov
Wells hypocrisy on the question Of polyg-
amy had not made Roberts election pos
sible. Mr.. Martin was not so informed.
This, closed the testimony for the day,
and the committee went into executive ses-
sion.
The committee has decided to send to
Utah for more witnesses. Six or seven
names have been selected and the persons
will be summoned at once In the mean
time the committee has adjourned to meet
on call Of the chairman.
