him with misrepresenting conditions in
the state.
Senator Dubois asked a great many
questions relating to the present con-
ditions in Idaho and the Mormon par
ticipatiOn in politics This resulted in
a discussion between the senator and
the witness concerning these subjects
and the positions they had taken. Mr..
Bulge reminded Mr.. Dubois that he
had promised 10 work TO repeal the
Idaho test oath, and the senator replied
that il was true. because he then
thought the manifesto was sincere.
Apostle John Henry Smith.
John Henry Smith of Salt Lake tes-
titled that he became an apostle of the
church in 1888. and is the second in
rank. lie has two wives and fifteen
living children, four having died. He
could not say how many of the seven
living children of his plural wife were
born since the manifesto. but thought
four. He testified that he was one Of
the signers of the application for am
nesty.
Asked concerning his failure to prac-
tice the agreement he thus made. he
said:
Nobody can take from me my fam
liy. 1 am responsible TO them and to
God alone, and If my countrymen
choose to punish me I shall have to
suffer the consequences
The testimony OF Apostle Smith in
regard to his duties toward the laws
and his families was similar to that
given by President Joseph T. Smith
when ne appeared before the commit
tee last spring.
The witness said he realized that
those who disobeyed the laws were
amenable to the courI. he quoted
President Smith as saying that he had
not married Abraham Cannon to Lii
lian Hamlin.
Asked il he had ever concerned him
self about the fact that an apostle of
the church had taizea a fourth wife
six years after the manifesto, Mr.
Smith replied that he felt that every
man was amenable to TIE laws: that
the courts have Jurisdiction, and that
he was not responsible for the acts of
his associates. moral or otherwise.
Mr.. Tayler told the witness that the
answer did not appear candid. Mr..
Smith answered:

the witness. Then he told Mr.. Tayier
that he could not bring the records

After half an hour more of searching
questions in which all members of tho
committee participated, Mr. Nicholson
stated that the book of sealing could be
identified by the name "sealings of per
sons not married in the temple" He
gave also the names Of his assistants
whose duties are TO actually record the
ceremonies in the book. He SAID. to-
that the books could rot be removed
