The issue of veracity developed when
the following telegram was received
by Senator Burrows. dated Salt Lake

Hiles further testified that Reed
Smoot could not have been elected to
the United States senate without hav-
ing first been chosen as an apostle Of
the Mormon church, and that after he
was so chosen he could not have been
defeated. Hiles told an interesting
story of the prosecutions Of MOrmons,
