Senator Hoar: Did you commend
upon prospective converts the rule of
your church against polygamy?"
Il always refrained from arguing
on polygamy."
Thomas NJ. Merrill. a Bishop, and a
son of Apostle Merrill said he had
two wives and that he had six chill
dren by the first and four by the sec
ond. The youngest child by the sec
ond wife is three years old. His sec
ond marriageStook place in the Logan
Temple in 1885. He said he did not
know whether marriages performed
in the temple are recorded. He had
performed two ceremonies himself
and had kept only an individual rec
ord. In answer to Senator Hopkins
he said:
Il have looked for prescribed form
ula for marriages, but never found
one"
MARRIED TWO SISTERS.
Alma Merrill, first councillor to the
Benson stake, said he had two wives.
one of whom he married in 1885 and the
other in 1856. His wives were sisters,
Esmeralda and Rebecca Hendricks. By
the first, he said, he had seven chill
dren and by the last eight children,
and three others had died.

nesses to-day to put on the stand. The

for the prosecution the committee went
into executive session and the testi-
mony in the Teasdale divorce case was
read. The committee adjourned until

you do not take steps TO have corrected
what you term false charges?"
1T is not my business to do So" the
witness replied with emphasis.
The question is, do your" said Chair
man Burrows.
Smith then explained that il is the
duty of the bishops courts to pass upon
the morals of those who live in their
wards or districts.
Does that include officials of the
church," was asked.
1T includes all members"
When asked if the rule applies TO
officials who are above the bishops
in authority, Smith said it did not.
Chairman Burrows inisted upon
knowing from the witness whether he
against any of the apostles. and the
witness answered again, 1T is not my
business to do it,
Chairman Burrows insisted upon
to the marriage ceremony performed
In the church. He spoke of the mar
riages for time, the marriages for time
and eternity and the marriages for
eternity only, and asked if the latter
is not called sealing"
They are all called sealing" was
the response.
SEALING FOR ETERNITY.
rs this sealing for eternity ever
performed for living persons"
Il believe 1 have heard of one or
two such cases." said the witness.
Are any polygamists ever sealed
for eternity?"
NO. sir"
Chairman Burrows asked the wit
ness to identify the Book of Mormon.
and then, turning to the revelation OF
the prophet, Joseph Smith, he asked
specifically in regard to the manner it
was revealed and was informed that
it was revealed to him by God.
Chairman Burrows asked il polyg-
amy was taught in that book and
Smith answered that II was emphat-
icalIy forbidden.
Reading from the book, which is
called the Mormon Bible, Chairman
Burrows called attention to the words
of God in reference to David and Sol
omon and his displeasure because of
the fact that he kept more than one
wife and many concubines. The chair
man asked If that did not prohibit
polygamy and, if that did not prohibit
when was the law of the Lord changed
in order to permit the practice.
Two more verses were read and
these provoked like requests until the
chairman objected.
JUSTIFIES POLYGAMY.
Smith took the book and read a
verse which declared that when the
Lord wanted his seed propagated he
would command it. This, the wit
ness declared, justifies polygamy when
a person is commanded by the Lord
10 enter that state. He said the COM
mand came to individuals as revela-
tions from the Lord.
Senator Dubois asked a number of
questions in regard to the revelations
received by Smith and Van Cott, but
the defense objected to the character
of the inquiry. He proceeded to dis
cuss the point at some length, when
Senator Hoar interrupted, saying he
would object to arguments by the at
torneys calculated to overthrow the
rules established by the Senate years
ago in the matter of conducting in
vestigations."
Senator Dubois explained that he
was not a lawyer and ii was his pur-
pose to ask questions which a Iayman

WASHINGTON, March e.-Several
officials OF the Mormon church to-day
testified in the Senator Smoot case be-
fore the Senate Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections that they had
plural wives and had continued to prac-
tice. .polygamous cohabitation since the
manifesto Of 1890. Just before adjourn
ment for the day the committee held
an executive session for the purpose Of
having read the unprintable testimony
in the Teasdale divorce case. The pros
ecution stated that it had no more wit
nesses ready to put on the stand on
account Of the failure of several sum-
mcned officials of the Mormon church
to appear. President Joseph F. Smith
was asked 10 use his influence with the
witnesses and promised TO get into COM
munication with them if it was pos
sible 10 do So.
Loren Harmer, formerly bishop Of
the Mormon church, to-day gave the
first testimony in favor Of the defense
that has been offered thus far in the
eight days Of the hearings. He said
he was convicted of the crime of adul-
terry and that he believed Smoot was
responsible for his arrest. The charge
against Harmer was unlawful cohab-
itation with a woman who was not hia
wife and not a prosecution on account
OF coha abitation with his plural wives.
President Smith and number of the
officials Of the church who have been
witnesses in the case to-day were ex-
cused from further attendance and they
will return to Utah.
DOES NOT HEED CHARGES.
The seventh day of the hearings was
opened by Attorney Tayler for the pros
ecution recalling President Joseph T.
Smith of the Mormon church TO the
stand Smith was questioned as TO an
interview he gave in 1902. giving statis-
tics in regard to the church and the
number of polygamists in Utah. Smith
had said the entire interview consiste
of statistics and that in that statement
ne had said nothing for the purpose Of
supporting the candidacy of Reed
Smoot for the Senatorship. On hearing
the interview read Smith admitted that

TO Smoot and urged his election.
Smith said he was acquainted with
Benjamin Cluff Jr., president Of the
board Of faculty of the Brigham
YouEg Academy, and that he is re-
puted to be a polygamist. He also was
asked about Abraham Cannon and if
the general charge had not been that
he took a plural wife, Lillian Hamlin,
since the manifesto Of 1890.
Smith said that had been a news
paper charge and he had paid no at
tention to it.
The officers Of the Mormon church
are sensitive in regard to the charge
that plural marriages have been per-
formed since 1890, are they not?" Tay-
Ter asked.
Smith said he thought they were very
sensitive on the subject.
He was asked then whether he had
taken steps to run down the stories
that the laws had been violated by
officers of the church. He answered
that the public charge did not concern
him, and that if he took time TO an
swer all the charges made against him
self and other officials OF the church
he would have no time to do other
