HHE CHARGED TO HIS ACCOVM
INM'HE KNCYCLOPEDIA.
Witness Owen/at the Smoot Hear
ing, Gave the I’alm tor Plurality
of Wives anil Plenty of Progeny
to Apostle Merrill—Protestants’
Attorney Announced That He
Rested Tlielr Case—On Jan. lO
Smoot's Side Will Be Heard.
Washington. Dec. 20.—The Senator
p.eed Smoot investigation to-day
reached that period where counsel for
the protestants have concluded the ex
amination of all persons that could be
reached by the subpoenas issued by the
Senate committee. Attorney Tayler
announced that he was ready to rest
his case, except for the introduction of
documentary evidence and possibly to
gamine later some persons on wjtom it
has been impossible to get service. The
iase of the respondent will be opened
Jan. 10, to which date the hearings
have been adjourned.
Just before adjournment of the com
mittee opposing counsel engaged in a
controversy over the admissibility of
certain reference works as evidence of
the doctrines of the Mormon faith. No
agreement could be reached and after
heated arguments Mr. Tayler recalled
Apostle Penrose to identify certain ref
erence books. In a number of in
stances Mr. Penrose denied that the
works had been accepted by the
church as authoritative publications,
and that many of the matters con
tained in the documents were sub
ject to dispute. Chairman Burrows
ruled that the utterances of leaders
of the church may be offered as tend
ing to prove doctrines of the church
organization.
Had Gathered Evidence.
The principal witness on the stand
was Charles M. Owen, who has been
employed in gathering data to be used
against the Mormon church in the
Smoot inquiry. He testified in regard
to the bringing of actions against
prominent church officials and as to
the attitude of the courts and the
prosecuting attorneys in such cases.
He declared that such prosecutions
are unavailing, as when convictions
were obtained small fines were im
posed and in most cases these were
paid by popular subscription.
Apostle John Henry Smith said he
had no knowledge of any apostle who
has not taken the endowments, nor
had he any positive information to the
contrary.
B. B. Heyward, United States mar
shal for Utah, who received subpoenas
from the sergeant-at-arms of the Sen
ate for witnesses wanted by the com
mittee, was sworn and testified that
he had subpoenas for fourteen or more
persons that he had not been able to
find. Mr. Heywood testified that prac
tically no effort had been made to put
a stop to polygamous marriages.
Fines Only Nominal.
Five persons in Sevier county and
one in Box Elder stake were convict
ed through the instrumentality of Mr.
nveri and many other complaints
were filed by him, according to his
testimony. The fines in all cases were
merely nominal, said Mr. Owen, from
$25 to $l5O.
Mr. Owen said cases were instituted
against the late Lorenzo Snow, pres
ident of the Mormon Church; Joseph
F. Smith, now president of the
church, and Brigham H. Roberts, who
was elected a member of Congress,
hut denied his seat on aeocunt of his
having plural wives. A warrant was
denied in the first case and Roberts
secured an acquittal by appealing his
case after conviction.
Many instances of Mormon officials
refusing to recognize information
charging polygamy were reported to
the committee by the witness. The in
formation in the case against Presi
dent Smith was sworn out during the
past summer and was based on ad
missions of polygamous cohabitations
made before the Senate Committee
since the opening of the Smoot inves
tigation. A Gentile county attorney
declined to prosecute, said the witness.
Bornh Wouldn't Prnseente.
Mr. Owen said that this past summer
he learned of a challenge made by W.
E. Borah, at one time retained by
Senator Smoot as counsel, that if any
sworn informations were filed with
him charging Idaho Mormons with be
ing polygamists, he would prosecute to
conviction. The witness said he filed
sworn Informations in twenty cases,
including the names of Budge. Park
inson and other prominent Idaho Mor
mons. He said he informed Mr. Borah
that he could furnish the names of 100
more polygamists living in Idaho.
“Did Mr. Borah prosecute these per
sons?” asked Mr. Tayler.
"No, sir.”
Mr. Owen admitted on cross-exami
nation that in these cases he had been
informed by attorneys that the law
was ineffective and the persons could
not be reached.
■tested the Prosecution.
At the conclusion of the cross-ex
amination of Owen, Mr. Tayler. repre
senting the protestants, said he had
concluded his case, except to put In
documentary evidence. He asked the
right, however, to call other witnesses,
who thus far have not been found,
although search has been made for
them.
At the request of Attorney Worthing
ton for Mr. Smoot, the committee was
adjourned to Jan. 10. 1905, when the
respondent’s side of the case will be
gin.
Hiding Out in Canada.
Charles M. Owen said that Apostle
Taylor is reputed to have taken two
wives within three years. Taylor now
og* five wives, said the witness.
“Where are Apostles Cowley and
Taylor?" asked Mr. Burrows.
“I understand they arc in hiding In
Canada,” said the witness. He said
Apostle Merrill has nine wives, tv o
taken since the manifesto. Consulting
the church encyclopedia the witness
said Apostle Merrill has forty-five
children and 137 grand-children.
Atlorney Tayler then brought out
a great many names of persons reputed
to be living in polygamy, together with
dates of marriages and the number of
children born of these plural marriages
since the manifesto.
Witness Owen testified to swearing
mb ui information for A|>ostle Heber
Orant because of his holding out his
polygamous relations In an address
before a Utah seminary. Mr. Owen
"aid Orant left the country and has
iet since returned,
Action was also begun by Mr. Owen
against Angus M Cannon on account of
bis plural wives. Mr. Cannon was

when it was over, a reaction came and
she trembled violently.
Boweil to .Indue and the Karl.
Arising from the chair she bowed to
Judge Davis and the Earl of Suffolk,
who sat beside him, and to the ju
tors. Then gathering up her skirts,
she ran down to her aged father, who
sat by her counsels’ table and buried
her face on his shoulder. He kissed
her affectionately and said softly:
"You did splendidly, little girl.”
This scene closed the evidence for
the defense.
Mr. Rand a little later called Mrs.
Young, the widow of Caesar Young, in
rebuttal. In her testimony she said he
had purchased the tickets for the trip
abroad for herself and husband and
that she had done so at the instiga
tion of Mr. Young and not of her own
volition, as intimated by Nan Patter
son.
Ge to the Jnry To-day.
When both sides rested Judge Davis
said he wished the case to go to the
jury to-morrow, and after a confer
ence between opposing counsel it was
agreed that the closing speeches
should be limited to three hours each.
Mr. Levy will speak in the morning
and Mr. Rand in the afternoon.
At 5 o’clock in the afternoon Judge
Davis will deliver his charge and
then the fate of the former show girl
will rest in the hands of the jury.
Cross-Examination of Nan.
Mr. Rand began the cross-examina
tion with the question: “Are you an
actress by occupation?”
"I am.” replied the defendant.
“Are you a wife?”
"Yes."
“Are you a mother?”
“I am not.’
Then the story of her meeting with
Caesar Young in July, 1903, while on
a train bound for California with a
theatrical company was retold.
“Did Mr. Young give you money
when you came back East?’
“Yes.”
“How much did he give you?”
“I think $2,800.”
“Just for two weeks?”
“Yes.”
Talked Plans for Future.
By a long series of questions, Mr.
Rand led up to the time when she ehme
to New York last May. Young con
tinued to call upon her, and they fre
quently talked of plans for the fu
ture.
“Young told you that you were only
going to pretend to go away?”
“Y"es.”
“And you had no intention of going
away?”
“No.”
“You were only to pretend to do so,
so as to deceive Young’s wife?”
“Yes.”
“You knew all this time th*at Young
was a married man?”
“Yes.”
"How much money did Young give
you altogether?”
“1 don’t know.”
“Could you tell if it was about $15,-
000.”
“I couldn’t tell. He always gave
me money when I wanted it.”
"Did he give you as much as $40,-
000 or $50,000?”
“1 cannot stay how much.”
"He was a most generous man,
wasn't he?”
"Yes.”
Said Tliey Had Trapped Him.
"Now. at the race track Young told
you that they had trapped him?”
“Yes.”
“What did he mean by trapped?”
"That his folks had bought tickets
for him to go away and he could not
get out of it.”
"Did he speak of his wife’s happi
ness as a reason why he had to go
abroad?”
"Well, he had been very unhappy
before.”
"And Young seemed glad to go?”
"He spoke of his wife being happy
to go.”
"Did Young every say his wife
might be a murderess?”
“Yes.”
“What did he say?”
“He said he was afraid Mrs. Young
would kill him or kill me.”
"This was the day before he died?”
“Yes. He said she was armed.”
Revoked the Statement.
"Did he say she would slay him,
put him out of the way?”
"No.”
“Why did you tell the jury then that
the day before he died he was afraid
his wife would be a murderess?"
“Well, the reason was that he re
called something that had happened
in San Francisco.”
“And that is the reason you told the
jury that Young said he was afraid
his wife would kill him or you?”
“I didn’t mean to say that.”
“Asa matter of fact, he had no fear
his wife would kill him?”
“I don't know whether he did or
not.”
“And he never told you so?”
“No.”
Afraid of an Ocean Trip.
Nan Patterson said that when she
told Young she would follow him to
Europe she had no idea of doing so.
She was afraid of the ocean trip. She
would have gone with Young had he

asked her, but would not go alone.
It seemed best, however, to have
Young believe that her promise was
made in good faith, and beyond tell
ing him that she did not fancy an
ocean trip alone, she said nothing to
the contrary. They talked the plans
all over again while sitting in a Har
lem restaurant early in the morning of
June 3. Y r oung drank great quanti
ties of whisky. He guve her sloo—flee
S2O bills. Her purse was full of bills,
so she put the money in her stock
ing.
She said Young was very angry when
she insisted upon going home, but that
his anger was short lived, and that
within three seconds everything was
all right. She denied that Young struck
her when she was getting into the
cab. saying that he only stroked her
face with his hand.
“And you supposed that was to have
been a final parting with Caesar
Young?”
”1 did.”
“You had then no intention of fol
lowing him across the ocean?”
“I had not.”
“But he supposed you were going to
follow?”
“He did.’
In Good Spirits, Yet Sorry.
“You were feeling in good spirits
that night?”
“Yes, I was.”
“You said yesterday that you would
lay down your life for Young?”
“I did.”
"You loved him?”
“I did.”
“Passionately, devotedly: he was the
one man in the world for you?”
"Yes.”
“An he was going away on the mor
row with his wife?”
“Yes.”
“And still you were happy that
night knowing that he was going
away?”
“I knew he was going away.”
“Did you know he was going away
for some time?"
“I knew he was going away.”
“For some time?”
"I didn’t think so.”
“And you did not feel bad about it?"
"Somewhat; but I did not show
signs of grief by crying.”
Cried When Thought of the Wife.
“Did it not occur to you that Caesar
Young was going away with his wife?”
“Yes, and now I remember, I cried.”
The witness said she did not know
how long Young intended to be absent
in Europe. She did not think it would
be for long, however.
“You didn't eare how long he was to
be gone, did you?”
"Why, of course, I cared,” the wit
ness flashed back at Mr. Rand.
She recalled distinctly having told
Young during the drive that she had
abandoned her Idea of following him to
Europe. “Then he reached over and
seizing my wrists drew me toward him.
I did not want him to see that he had
hurt me. and turned my face away.
Then came the report of the shot.”
Called in Relmttal.
The first witness called In rebuttal
by the prosecution was J. R. Marean, a
newspaper reporter, who said Miss
Patterson told him that she and Young
were sitting face to face when the shot
was fired.
Mrs. Margaret Young, the bookmak
er's widow, after a series of objections
had been overruled, was allowed to tes
tify that it was upon her husband’s
suggestion that the tickets for Europe
were purchased. She was not allowed,
however, to tell the jury how much
property her husband left at his death.

CLAIMS REPORT

ACGCSTA MAN SPRINGS ANOTHER
COTTON SENSATION.
Department of Commerce and Labor
Sent Mr. Million a Report Claimed
to Have Been from HU Month Car
olina Ginnery Which lIU Super
intendent Maya U a Forgery—Gln
nera in Augusta Territory Say
They Have Made no ReporU to the
Census Bureau.
Augusta, Dec. 20.—R. M. Mlxson,
whose letter claiming the govern
ment’s cotton estimate to have been
one week’s ginning or over 600,000
bales too much, has what he considers
to be another sensational feature in
connection with the case. It will be
remembered that Mr. Mixson owns and
operates a gin at Williston, S. C. Mix
son claims that while the government's
last estimate of the cotton crop, mak
ing the production over 12,000,000 bales,
was given out to be the ginning fig
ures up to Nov. 14, they were really
the figures up to Nov. 20. In order
to substantiate his claim he produced
as evidence a blank similar to the one
he had filled out at his gin and sent
to the Department of Agriculture.
Caused a Sensation.
The letter raised quite a sensation
when it reached New* York, and cotton
immediately advanced about 20 points.
The government explained that Mr.
Mixson had confused the dif
ferent departments of the government
and that the estimate made public was
that of the census bureau and not of
the Agricultural Department.
To this Mr. Mixson replied that the
government either used the Agricul
tural Department gin report or guessed
at the figures, as no other report had
been made by the glnners.
Hundreds of glnners from all over
this section of the country have given
evidence in favor of Mr. Mixson's con
tention, and they say positively that
the government has only adopted one
means of securing reports on ginning
and that has been through the medium
of the Agricultural Department report.
Taken I'p by Census Burma.
The whole argument had reached
such proportions that the Department
of Commerce and Labor, under which
the Census Bureau operates, took the
matter up with Mr. Mtxson personally.
He clung to his contention so strongly
that the government finally sent him
a blank, which reached him to-day,
with a report of his gin made to the
census department and signed by the
superintendent of his gin at Wllliston.
Mr. Mlxson immediately submitted
the report to his superintendent, who
denied all knowledge of It, and says
the signature is not his and that he
never ntade the report to any one,
either in writing or In person.
Mystery of the Report.
Now the question arises as to how
the alleged report of the Munson gin
nery reached the government Census
Bureau.
The glnners of this section are en
tirely unanimous that they have made
no report to the census department,
and that the only representative of this
branch of the government they ever
saw was in the summer, and he was
merely an agent, going through the
country locating the gins for future
reference.

In Killing Negroes.
New Orleans. Dec. 20.—A special lo
the Picayune from Brookhaven, Miss.,
says:
In the Circuit Court to-day Dave
Posey was convicted of manslaughter
for the killing of Ben Buyless, a negro.
The defendant claimed that the killing
was justifiable, as he found the negro
stealing corn. The jury was out less
than an hour. After the usual motion
lor anew trial, which was overruled,
Judge Wilkinson sentenced Posey to
twenty-five years in the penitentiary.
Judge Wilkinson passed sentence on
other men to-day as follows: Oscar
Franklin, life imprisonment for the
murder of Eli Hilson, a negro; Will
Franklin. D. W. Smith, Elias Smith,
R. L. Smith and Elhert Oil!, each fifty
years in the penitentiary for man
slaughter for the killing of Henry List,
a negro.
These two killings were the white
cap eases which aroused the indigna
tion of the citizens and caused the for
mation of the law and order league.
Sam Posey, who pleaded guilty to
two charges of white capping and was
convicted of highway robbery, was
sentenced to ten years on the robbery
charge and five years on each of the
white capping charges, a total of twen
ty years.

London. Dec. 20.—The political cam
paign of education on fiscal affairs,
which is now being vigorously carried
on throughout the United Kingdom by
both parties, while affording little that

cutting the hair short, and not allow
ing air and sunlight to get to it, he
says, civilized inan has become a
victim of lung trouble. For lungs, he
says, are directly dependent upon hair.
"Take the negroes of the South be
fore the war," said he to-day. "They
lived largely out of doors, seldom or
never cut their hair, and seldom wore
hats. They never had consumption.
"Take savages as examples. They
do not know what consumption is.
Tuberculosis is a disease of civiliza
tion. And I believe and have proved
by countless experiments that it is all
due to rutting the hair.
“My theory is that the brain and
the r<st of the nervous system Is fed
from the air. I believe that either In
infinitesimal quantities are drawn In
to the system through the hair. This
nutriment first goes to feeding the
brain. Then it progresses downward
through the cerebellum, into the ob
longata, the spinal cord, the sympa
thetic system, the motor system and
finally reaches the heart, stomach and
lungs. The farther It gets from the
grain the greater It gets in physical
density, and finally is deposited as an
absolute substance in the lungs.
"If the quantity of this gas Is small
because of lack or cutting of hair, the
amount of nutriment deposited In the
stomach, heart, and, finally the lungs
Is small—too small to be effective In
eliminating parasites. And the min
ute the supply of this absolute wa*r
substance is too small the lowest form
of parasitic life—microbes—get In their
work.”
"At one time J was confined with ty
phoid fever In the Pennsylvania Hos
pital. Philadelphia. Near me was a
pale, emaciated youth, who was suf
fering with consumption, f noticed as
the days went by his hair did not grow
and gradually grew gray at the tips.
His appetite wes very poor,
“Meant*'ldle. I was convalescent,
"My hair was growing rapidly, and
my appetite was tremendous. He died,
while I lived, Before going to the hos
pital, I had contracted a pronounced
case of tuberculosis and had conduct
ed s great many experiments with
light, with tl- Idea of ascert dining

"A friend of mine who had consump-
tlon. and had gone West, had returned
to his home In apparent good health.
"His hair and beard had been al
lowed to grow long. Soon after his
return he had his hair cut short and
his beatd removed. His old disease
returned and he died suddenly.
'When I left the Philadelphia hos
pital my lung trouble had apparently
disappeared. My hair and beard had
not been cut during my sickness.
“Soon afterward, however. I visited
a barber, and a week or two later be
gan feeling weak. Tuberculosis came
back, and I soon became so 111 that
my friends gave me up for dead.
"I recommenced my old experiments
on hair and light. My hair grew long. I
slept near an open window—oftentimes
In the open air. I became strong again.
Now I am well. My lungs are strong
and healthy, but for that portion of my '
left lung which was lost while my hair
was short.”

Inches high and weighs 260 pounds.
"His hair Is not so long now, but
his beard is luxuriant. He says he
keeps both within bounds, lest he be
considered a freak.
"Beard,” says he, "nourish the lungs
directly. That's the reason why a
man with a beard Is strong and
healthy. Women, It Is true, often
times have consumption, but It Is be
cause they cover the hair, keep the
light away from It, and remain so
much In doors.”
