THIRD MARRIAGE KEPT SECRET
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Brigham

WASHINGTON, April 20.-Brigham
Roberts, one of the seven first presi-
dents of the Mormon church and who
was elected to congress but was pre-
vented from taking his seat, was the
first witness this morning on the re-
sumption of the Smoot inquiry by the
senate committee. He said he had
been married three times, first in -,
second in SO, and third in 80. BY his
second marriage with Celia Dibble.
who was his first plural wife, he had
eight children, some of whom We're
born since his election to congress in
1898. He was married to his third wife
bv Daniel H. Wells. counsellor to the
apostles at Salt Lake. There were no
witnesses nor was either of his pre-
viOus wives present Wells made no
objection to his marriage to Mrs. ShipD
his third wife. Neither had his other
two wives, however, they did not know
of it at the time and they did not
learn of it for two or three years. He
concealed his third marriage chiefly
for the purpose of relieving his embar-
rassment. He adde,. 'Of course we
knew the marriage was illegal" This
third wife formerly was the wife of
DR.. Shipp. He admitted that Wells
knew that he had two other wives. No
action WAS taken by the authorities of
the church against Wells for marry
ing Roberts to third wife. When
asked for the reasons that led him to
contract this marriage when he knew
it was against the law. Roberts said
that from boyhoOd he had been taught
the rghtfulness of plural marriage.
He believed it to be the law of Cod and
preferred to accept it to mans law.
He believed pOlygamy was and is a
divine institution. He admitted living
in polygamOus cohabitatiOn. In de-
fiance of the laws of God and man.
as the cross examination WOrded it.
When the present hearing is con-
cluded the committee will meet at Salt
