GIVES HISTORY IF THATCHER EPISODE Attorney Critchlow on Stand in
 Smoot Hearing SHOWS CHURCH'S POWER Consent of the Apostles Is Absolutely Necessary Before Man Can Enter
 Political Contest of
 Any Kind.

Washington March 10-One of the most interesting and important features of the investigation of the Senator Reed Shoot case before the senate committee on privileges and elections, was brought out today in the testimony of E. B. Critch- low, formerly an assistant United States attorney in Utah, who told the story of the Moses Thatcher episode. According to his version which was borne out by official records, Apostle Thatcher per sisted in continuing as candidate for the United States senate against the ,wIshes of quorum of the apostles, and on that account was held to be not in harmony with his quorum.
 The history of the campaign he made against the wishes of hts fellow Mormons, of his defeat and his subsequent trial be- fore a committee of the church officials was given in detail, and then Thatcher s submission to the will of the church was read and put in the record of the in vestlgation. This recantation showed Thatcher totally broken in spirit and bow Ing absolutely to the church in that the consent of an officers quorum must be obtained in order that he may continue in good standing.
 Must Have Church's Consent.
 The purpose of the testimony was to show that it was necessary, according to the rules of the church, for Reed Shoot to have obtained the consent of the church before he could have become a canddateF for the senate. In addition to the Thatcher episode, Mir Critchow gave the history of the prosecution In Utah on charges of poygamous cohabtation since the proclamation of the Edmunds law and legislation in state and territory which affects Mormonism or poygamy. At one time" said MT. Critchlow on the stand, prosecutions were inaugur- ated with vigor and many men and wo- men went into hiding. Over one thousand men were convicted and sentenced, if I remember rightly"
 Mir, Critchlow said an opportunity was given by the courts to the persons con- victed to escape Jail service by promising that in the future they would obey the law but the chance of escaping punish ment was not accepted generally. only three persons complying with the ruling of the court.
 Continuing, he said: Among these were Bishop Sharp director of the un- ion Pacific railroad. and an old man who accepted the terms and was promptly re- moved, that being understood to be the policy of the church where the doctrine

The witness told of a visit to the pris- ons by Caleb West and his offer to in tercede for the prisoners. The offer was refused
 The history of the church between 1885 and 1890 was given by Mir. Critchlow, in- cluding the circulation of a story that plural marriages had been given up en- tirely, and that unlawful cohabtation was on the wane. He covered the pas sage of all acts affecting poygamy or Mormonism, including the representations made by congressional committees which visited the territory prior to the admis- sion of Utah a state The purpose of his statement was to show that the Nor mons continued to create the sentiment that the laws were being obeyed. but In secret had practiced polygamy and that the church was irreconclable to new con- ditions, and its members were conspiring to evade the laws.

Continued in the Field.

MT. Thatcher continued in the field until the final result of the contest which ended In the election of RawinS senator He said 1t was well known that apostles were working against Thatcher. their ob- ject being to prevent direct blow at the principle that the quorum of apostles could control the action of one of it's mem bers. The Mormons, he said. were respon- sible for the election of MT. Rawlins.
 "Thatchers efforts to secure the election against the wishes of the church." said MT. Crichtlow. twas the subject of ser mons in the church in which Thatcher was charged with being out of harmony with his quorum. and not cbeyng the will of the president, and apostles"
 In answer to question as to what hap pened to MT. Thatcher as result of his disobedlence, MT. Critchlow said declar- ation of principles was submitted to Mir Thatcher for his signature. but he re- fused to sign. In the succeeding year he was summoned before council and tried to acknowledge that he had been wrong dnd he retained his good fellowship, but is not now an apostle, and has not been one since the episode. Mir Thatcher was compelled to subscribe to a statement that he was wholly In the wrong; and in fact said the witness his spirit was broken completely by his conflict with the church.
 Apostles Gave Out Instructions.
 In response to an inquiry in regard to MT. Thatcher running for the senate on a platform not in harmony with the church, MT. Crethlow spoke on the influ- ence of apostles, giving as an illustra- ton that the apostles gave out the in- struction that ''it is the will of the Lord that you vote the republican ticket this time'
 MT Critchlow said the democrats pro- tested against the interference by the church in such manner.
 Senator McComas asked Mir Critchlow if he would be able to complete the his tory to the time of the election of Mir Shoot to the senate. The witness said he might give some salient features, but he was not engaged in politics.
 The committee adjourned until 10:SO to- morrow without concluding the testimony of MT. Critchlow.

Interrupted Very Little.

MT. Critchlow was interrupted very lt- tle and told his story concsely. He said in the first sate legislature in 1896, when he sat as a member, there was a dispo- sition to send all legislation to the Mor- mon church to see if it was proper to en- act it. In relation to the Moses Thatcher ' incident, MT. Critchlow said a letter had been sent out which had the purpose of dividing the people as equally as possi- ble between republicans and democrats so as to maintain reserve which could be swung either way in the interest of the church.
 The church afterwards denied this letter said MT critchlow, but Moses Thatcher continued working in the interest of the democrats and in the autumn of 1S96 carried on an active campaign for election to the United States by the succeeding legislature. This campaign was in con fiict with the wishes of the members of his quorum of apostles. and he was finally dropped It was taken up as a church matter, and said Mir Critchlow, the edito- rials in the Desert News, declared that the church had right to interest itself in the campaign for United States senator.
 The popular sympathy was with Mir Thatcher, because 1t was understood he stood for absolute liberty in political af- fairs
