Washington, D. c., Dec. 15.-Testi-
mony relating to the alleged polygam-
Gus marriage Of the late Apostle Alb
ram Cannon and Lillian Hamlin, and
additional testimony concerning the OBJ
legations taken by persons who pass
thru the Mormon endowment house,
was offered yesterday in the investi-
cation of the protests against Senator
Reed Smoot before the senate commit-
tee on privileges and elections.
Mrs. Fred Ellis of Salt Lake furnish
ed the most information concerning
polygamy. She is the daughter of An
gus Cannon and married her cousin,
Abram Cannon, when she was 10 years
of age. She testified that she was Alb
ram Cannon's first plural wife, and
that her husband married Lillian Ham
lin in June, 1896. He was at that time
one of the twelve apostles. Mr.. Cam
non, according to theIwitness, then had
three wives, and he told her that Lii
liam Hamlin had been engaged to his
brother, David, who had died, and that
she therefore would become Mrs. Abb
ram Cannon No. 4 for time.
She was to be Davids wife for eter-
nifty.
II told him that if he did marry Lii
liam" said the witness, that could
mot live with him when the church or
the law would not recognize his mar
riage"
Mrs. Ellis told Of the departure of
Mr.. Cannon and Miss Hamlin, accom-
panied by President Smith, who is said
to have performed the marriage cere-
mony on the high seas, and of their re-
turn.
They returned about July 6, 1896. Mr..
Cannon was i'll and died about three
weeks later "He confessed on his
deathbed that he had married Miss
Hamlin.' said Mrs. Ellis, "and he said,
I have never had well day Since I
think it killed him." the witness added,
sobbingly.
Mrs Ellis believed that Cannon died
of remorse and a stricken conscience.
August Lundstrom of Salt Lake was
born in Sweden, and became Nor
mon six years before coming to the
United States. He has held high posi-
tions in the church, both in Sweden
and Utah. He testified that he went
thru the temples in Salt Lake and Lo-
gan. He had heard the endowment OBJ
legations taken six times, he said, each
ceremony consuming from six to eight
hours.
The whole proceeding was series Of
obligations, said the witness, but he
could not remember all of them. The
first in order, he said, was the law of
sacrifice which bound each person to
give his entire means and talents to
the upbuilding of the Mormon church.
The next obligation was that of retri-
button, in which each person covenan-
ted and promised to TASK God to a

this nation" and to teach "our chill
