Washington, Jan. 1.-THE special
committee of the House OF Represent
atives to Investigate the case of Brig
ham III. Roberts, OF Utah, to-day reach
ed u final conclusion. On the polyga-
nous status of Mr.. Roberts the COM
mittce was unanimous and agreed upon
q formal statement OF facts. On the
question Of procedure to be adopted TIN
committee was divided. The majority,
consisting of all the members except
Littiefield. of Maine, and DeArmond,
OF Missouri, favored exclusion at the
outset. Messrs. Littlefield (Republican)
and DeArmond (Democra) will make
n minority report favorable to seating
Roberts on the prima facie rights and
then expelling him. The majority were
Tayler. Frear, Morris and Mcpherson
(Republicans). Lanham and NIiers
(Democrats).
STATEMENTS OF FACTS.
The statement of facts found by the
Democrats is as follows:
''NVo find that b. II. Roberts was
elected representative to the Fifty
sixth GaIa eaa@ss S.
and was at the date of his election
above the age of % years; that he has
been far more than seven years n nat
uralized citizen of the United States,
and was an inhabitant of the State of
Utah.
I'VE further find that about 1878 he
married Louisa Smith, his first and
lawful wife, with whom he has ever
since lived as such, and who, since their
marriage, has borne him six children.
That since 1885, he married as his
plural wife Celia Dibble, with whom
he had ever since lived as such, and
who, since such marriage, has borne
MIN six children, OF whom the last were
twins. born August II, 1897.
THAT some years after his said mar
rage to Celia Dibble he contracted an
other plural marriage with Margaret
G. Ship, with whom he has ever since
lived in the habit and rcpute OF mar
riage. Your committee is unable to fix
the exact date of this marriage. 1t
does not appear that he held her out
as his wife before January, 1897. or
that before that date she held him out
as her husband or that before that date
they were reputed to be husband and
wife.
