Mr. Worthington put into the record

Mr. Smith testified that the law max

forts OF Mormons themselves.
Reference was made to the Evans bill,
which passed the Utah senate on
March 3, 1901, and q few days later the
house. This bill provided that no pro-
secutions for polygamous cohabitatiOn
should be instituted except on COM
