CASE CONVICTED

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 6.-RA
Thirty one 'fundamentalist'' cult

preach and practice polygamy.
The eight male jurors returned
the verdict afteS an hour and 81
minutes deliberation.
District Judge M. j. Bronson set
Oct. 10 at 10 am, Mountain war
time, for sentencing.
Maximum penalty is one year
Imprisonment or a fine OF $1,000.
Defense attorneys said h e y
would appeal to the state supreme
court and if necessary would carry
the case to the United States SUI
preme court.
Only a few defendants, all men,
were in the courtroom when the
verdict was announced.
The state charged the defendants
carried on the alleged conspiracy
through publication and circulation
of a monthly magazine, Truth, :"
and purchased a large suburban
residence for a meeting place.
Defense attorneys contended the
cult was engaged only in religious
worship, following the original doc

(Mormon) church.
However, the church, which out
lawed polygamy as part of its doc
trine in 1890, has aided federal and

his ideas on funerals in a letter
sent to friends here and opened
after his death.
Cobb's ashes will be sprinkled
around the roots of a newly-plant-
ed dogwood tree in the center of
a nalf-acre lot in the cemetery
which figured in several Of his

are buried nearby.
A Negro choir, assembled by
