Freedom Is Not Abridged.

Senator Bailey asked whether there was anything in the ceremony that abridged a mans freedom in any political or religious way The witness said he thought not.
 MT. Vancott started to question the wit ness in regard to the obligations. His questions indicated purpose to show that the obligation taken could interfere in no manner with rights of citizens when Senator Pettus interrupted:
 "1f the witness cannot tell what this obligation Is. 1 do not think he had tho right to construe for the committee and thus create confusion in regard to it."
 After considerable discussion 1t was decided that the line of questioning pur- sued by the defense was not in order in view of the refusal to state the nature on the part of the witness.
 Edward E. Barthell of Nashville iden- t,fied certain books and documents which had been sent to him by the Mormon propaganda at Chattanooga He had re- quested these documents for the purpose of preparing a paper on Mormonism, which he was to read peTore a Nashville club. Before he left the stand he related conversations with George F. Fox of the Mormon church. who called on him when the papers had been received. This meet ing resulted in Fox being invited to at tend the session oi the club. and of his making an address. Chairman Burrows evinced considerable interest in the nature of this address and MT. Barthell said:
 Well, he told us miracles were easy. that it was no trouble at all to perform them. If a man had one arm and wanted another he could get it.''
 Attorney Worthington for the defense. who is compelled to use a cane, observed: :
 I would like to meet that man."
 Continuing his story. MT. Barthel said Ir Fox also told about the order of the church concerning roygamy, saving that polygamy Is all right, but that 1t had been discontinued. though "cohabs' are still following their custom. "We did no. know what he meant by cohabs and he explained that he referred to those who continued to live with plural wives"
 The committee adjourned until tomor. TOW.

WILL NOT TELL
 CHURCH SECRE Is
(con.lrued from First Page,

(ContIrued rom First Page. ---~~~-~--------~-->~~ asked concerning MT Roberts convic- tion in 1889 of the crime of polygamy.
 Senator Bailey objected to the line of inquiry in regard to MT Roberts con- victIon and MT. Roberts service in the penitentiary. He said he thought the ad- mission of the witness that he had vio- lated the laws was sufficient. MT. Fay Tor said this was to determine whether the authorities of the Mormon church had taken any action in respect to the witness living with more than one wife. MT. Roberts said no action had ever been taken by the church.
 Questions were asked respecting MT. Roberts views regarding the manifesto of 1890 against plural wives and living in polygamous cohabitaton, and the witness said he regarded the manifesto as an ad- mission of the church and of binding force upon all members. He admitted that to disobey any of those laws would sub ject the member to liability to church discipline. The witness was asked then in regard to polygamous cohabitation, and said that he and many others were living in polygamy at the time the rule was made against such cohabitation, and that they considered themselves under moral obligations to live with the wives they had married.
 Do you think you are morally bound to cohabit with all of your wives?" Chair man Burrows asked.
 q do."
 How many children have you?"
 "Thirteen living"
 How many not living?'
 Two"
 When was the last one born?'
 About two or two and a half years ago."
 Turned Over to Defense.
 The witness was then turned over to the defense and MT. Vancott opened the ere ss examination. MT. Vancott asked n regard to the rule which permits of this church to enter politics. The witness said he regarded 1t as merely a leave of absence from chuch officiad duties dur ing incumbency of political office He said he did not regard 1t as an endorse dorsement of the Mormon church.
 It was brought out that in his first can vass for office when he had the consent O leave of absence, he was defeated. In his sccond canvass he obtained the leave 0; abserce and was elected.
 Senator Bailey asked the witnesses views of his obligations as a citizens and whether religious obligations justified him in denying services to his state
 MT. Roberts said the emergency might arise whereby an official should resign his political office if the will of his con stitutents would not permit him to per form his duties in harmony with the church mandates.
 Senator Bailey called attention to the church rule which forbids an official to accept an office without the consent of the church unless he resigns his office in the church or is reduced to the ranks"
 "In the events of such a crss' said the witness, "I think one would have to rely on the individuals patriotism"
 But patriotism and religion in such a case would be in conflict" said Senator Bailey. At one time you defied the church. did you not?'
 "I did"
 And you were defeated?"

Political Support Souoht,

U that the political support of the Mormon church in Utah was sought by political parties, the same as the Irish German or Italian vote was sought in other com munities
 And the negro vote" interrupted MT. Worthington.
 tI believe not" said Mir Roberts. There may be individuals who trim their sails that way, but not the church"
 Resumng cross-examination and quot ing from the record of the testimony of E. B. Critchlow, MT. Vancott asked MT. Roberts if he had ever stated to MT. Critehlow that he had | vision of his dead ancestors which induced him to | change his attitude toward the rule per taining to permission to run for office. Mir Roberts said he never had made such statement. He also said he never had stated that he had seen his ances- tors in perdition and that they could not go through the temple and be baptised unless he conformed to the wishes of the church.
 The witness said he had been through the endowment house, that the endow- | ment house oath. or ceremony was now performed in the temple.
 "Can you not tell us in regard to tEis ceremony" asked Chairman Burrows T cannot. l do not feel at liberty to do so. l consider myself in trust and not at liberty to disclose what takes place. |" MT Roberts said the obligations were i secret and he thought them not unlike the oaths of the Masonic order or other secret sects.
 What would happen if you did reveal what took place in the temple?" asked the chairman.
 T would lose caste and be regarded as betraying trust If I keep faith, l can not disclose what takes place"
 Then pursued Chairman Burrows, any person who takes the endowment house obligation is under oath not to re- veal It's nature?"
 "I think so.'
 And Senator Shoot could not reveal his oath of that character"
 The witness nodded his head.
