He then gave a detailed statement of

Judge Tayler then announced that MS
cross-examination was concluded.
Chairman Burrows then inquired of the
witness:

Could Resign Apostleshlp.

Senator Burrows began the afternoon
session by asking Senator Smoot IL he
was at liberty to resign his apostleship
at any time, to which an affirmative an
/ swer was given. He also said he had not
seen nor participated in the endowment
ceremony since 1t was administered to
him when he was IS years old.
Pursuing his inquiry Chairman Burrows
asked If Senator Smoot taught and
preached his faith He did occasionally.
do you teach polygamy?"
81 do not"
do you preach against polygamy or I'M
lawful cohabitationT'
II never have. l do not know why 1
should. 1t is not tenet of the faith. 1t
has been suspended and l think it would
not be proper for me to bring 1t up"
The chairman inquired about the uncer-
, tainty about the manifesto as to whether
II referred to both plural marriages and
polygamous cohabitation. Senator Smoot
said the people were uncertain but that
President Woodruff had interpreted 1t as
| prohibiting polygamous cohabition. He
said he understood that the revelation
| commanding the PRONUNCIATION of the
manifesto against polygamy was the re-
| suit of pleadings by President Wood
ruff for the command of God concerning
his wishes on that subject.
On redirect examination Senator Smoot
F., said he believed the church rule requires
church officials to obtain leaves of abb
| sence to engage In business, politics, or
anything else which might take them
, from their church work, and is not con-
fined to politics.
This concluded the examination Of Sem
| ator Smoot and he resumed his seat back
| of his counsel which he has occupied
| throughout the investigation.

Other Witnesses Testify.

Maroni Gillespie, a patrolman In Salt
Lake, testified that Angus NJ. Cannon,
who testified in relation to the alleged
marriage of Abram Cannon and Lillian
Hamlin. could not be believed under oath.
He testified also that w. /. Wallace, who
told the committee of the endowment
house oath, had been arrested on the
charge of drunkenness. Gillespie said he
was present in court when Wallace
pleaded guilty. Wallace testified that he
never had been arrested. In reply to
Chairman Burrows the witness refused
to divulge the endowment oath.
John NJ. Whitaker gave unimportant
testimony and declined to answer about
endowment ceremonies.

Makes Further Explanation.

AS the chairman started to take up an
other line of inquiry, Senator Smoot said:
IF that is all you desire to ask me on
that subject / want to say that the man
ifesto as voted on by the people had no
reference to unlawful cohabitation. Two
years later President Woodruff inter-
preted it as prohibiting polygamous CO.
habitation and announced that he in
tended to obey that Interpretation and at
the same time he advised the people to
obey it, but the prohibition of unlawful
cohabitation has never been presented to
the people. 1t has never been sustained
at a conference. There may have been
some, therefore. who, for that reason have
not regarded 1t as binding. After the
manifesto was issued there was a dispo-
sition among all classes to tolerate the
old conditions as the easiest and quick
est way to put stop to the practice
of polygamy. 1 believe the question will
be solved by the people of Utah just as
death removes these polygamists"
Senator Smoot again said that he was
not sustaining Smith except as president
of the church, and that 1t was not his
duty as an officer of the law or as a citi-
zen of Provo to bring action against
Smith, a citizen of Salt Lake City.
Senator Smoot stated that some of the
democrats in the Utah legislature were
Mormons. but no democrat voted for him.
