ADMITS VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL LAWS.

Washington, March 4.-Attorneys
for the protestants in the Smoot in
vestigation Thursday said they intend
ed to prove that the defendant was as
sociated with a hierarchy which prac-
tices polygamy and connives at viola
tions of the law and that his very
vote as a senator of the United States
was subject to the wish and command
of the Mormon church. -
President Joseph F. Smith confessed
that he himself had continued to live
with his plural wives since the mani
that he was violating state laws. Pres
ident Smith also testified that Reed
S;noot had to get the consent of his
associate apostles in the church be-
fore he could become a candidate for
senator. 1. ~ ...-,
Mr.. Smith said that the manifesto
of 1890 had left him and others with
plural families in the unfortunate sit
uation of being compelled to defy the
law or to desert their families. For
himself he had preferred to "take
chances with the law rather than to
disgrace himself and degrade his
family by aband doning his wives and
the children they had borne him: He
admitted that he had had children by
all of his five wives since the mani
festo and said he had acknowledged
them openly without interference or
from the people Of Utah.
whom he characterized as liberal and
broad minded.
