HENRY LAWRENCE
ON THE STAND.
Oath Administered to Him Did Not
Stipulate Vengeance on
This Nation"
so TELLS THE COMMITTEE,
Important Testimony OF Former Nor
mon" at smoot Inquiry In Wash.
Ing This Afternoon.

Washington, u. c., February ST.
Henry w. Lawrence OF Salt Lake
city was the first witness at the after
noon session. He was born OF Nor
mon" parents and left the Church in
1863 because he became doubtful OF the
Church system
He said he was associated with others
in the publication OF the Utah Magazine
which advocated the opening OF mines
against the teachings OF the holy priest
hood. His associates were excommuni-
Gated because OF this policy early in
1869, but action against him failed for
the reason. he thought, that he was
man of affairs.
Concerning the Endowment house
ceremony which he said he took early
IN his life. he said an oath was admin
istered obigating him to covenant and
agree before God, his agents, and the
witnesses assembled 10 avenge the
blood OF the Prophets Joseph Smith,
Iiyrum Smith, David Patten and Par
ley =. Pratt. His testimony Is the
i'rst that has been given by any wit
nesses using the names OF David Pat
ten and Farley Z. Pratt, In the
obligation. He said that rs ad-
minIstered TO him the oath did not
stipulate that the vengeance must
be taken upon this nation and In
that respect the oath was ambiguous.
He said he had participated later in
administering the ceremonies TO Others
and that no person could go through
the Endowment house without taking
the oatbs. These were administered
orally, he said, and as different parties
oficiated, 1t was likely that the word
ing or the obligation might vary at
the different ceremonies.

Gen. Geoghegan to secure the use OF
the armory by the banquet committee,
The permission was refused. and SUBJ
