SMITH, DEAT, WILL OT NSH Mormon President Prints to Scripture to Prove Plural Marriage Right and Holds His Bishops Responsible for People |NOT HIS ‘BUSINESS TO QEAL WITH THE POLYGAMSTS. Explains Matrimonial Conditions in Utah and Says Some Nar- tiages Are Good Only Afer Death. WASHINGTON, March 9.—Presidet Smith, of the Mormon Church, was re) called to-day at the Smoot Senatorial inquiry and questioned in regard to an interview he gave to a representative of the Associated Press in 1902, giving | statistics in regard to the Church and the number of polygamists in Utah. Mr. Smith had said the entire inter- view consisted of statistics and that in that statement he had said nothing for the purpose of supporting the candidacy of Reed Smoot for the United States Senate, Upon hearing the interview read Mr. Smith admitted he had been quoted correctly in regard to Mr. Smoot and| had urged his election. Mr. Smith sald he was acquainted with Benjamin Clough, jr, President of the Board of Faculty of the Brig-| ham Young Academy, and that he Is re- puted to be a polygamist. He also was asked about Abraham Cannon and if! the general charge had not been made that he took a plural wife, Lillian Hamlin, since the manifesto of 1: Mr, Smith said that had been a nev Vee charge and he had paid no atten- jon. Charges Not Followed. “The officers of the Mormon Church are sensitive in regard to charges that plyral marriages have been performed since 189, are they not?” Lawyer ‘Tay- ler asked. Mr, Smith said he thought they were very/ sensitive on that subject. He was asked then whether he had taken any steps to run down the stories that the laws, had been violated by officers of the ‘church. He answered that the public charge did not concern him and that if he took time to answer all the charges made against ‘himself and other officials of the church he would not have time to do other work. Reference was made specifically to the charges against George Teasdale, an apostle, and Mr. Smith was asked if he did not feel called upon in that particular case to make somo inquiry the in justice to the reputation of church, “It was not my business to do si he sald. | "Do you mean to say that notwith- standing the sensitiveness you “profess } you do not take steps to lave cor- | rected what you term false charges?” “It Is not my business to do so," the witness repeated with emphasis, “The .quesgion is, do yout!’ said} Chairman Burrows. Mr. Smith then explained that it ts the duty of the Bishops’ Court to pass upon the morals of those who live in thelr wards or districts, “Does that include officials of church?" was asked. “It Includes all members.” When asked if the rule applies to officials who are above the bishops in authority, Mr. Smith said {t did not, “Then In the interest of ‘the church you would feel inclined to investigate such cases, would you not?” “Not such yclous charges as have been nade against ui Not a Supposable Case. the “Well, now suppose that it was charg. ed that Francia M, Lyman. President of the Apostles, had performed a plural marriage ceremony since 1890, would you not investigate that?’ “It {8 not a supposable case, and if it was 1 cculd not anewer it." he said. Chairman Burrows insisted on know- ing from the witness whether he would have investigated such charges against one of the Apostles and the witness answered again: “It is not my business to do it.” ‘Then he said: “All of the charges made were of cases which are said to have occurred before I became President and I know nothing about them." “But now that vou are President, what would you do if such charges Were made?” asked the Chairman. Mr. Smith said he would not invest!- gate the cases because that was the duty of lesser oMfipials, Chairman Burrows asked in regard to the marriage ceremonies performed in the church, He spoke of the marriages for time, the marriages for time and eternity and the marriages for eternity only, and asked if the latter ts not ied “sealing,” Mormon Bible Forbi ‘They are all called sealing.” resnonse, “Ia this sealing for eternity ever per- forred for living persons?” . “I believe I have heard of one or two such cases,” said the witness. “Are any polygamists ever sealed for eternity?’ “No, sir.” “Does this service of sealing for eter- nity carry the right of earthly cohab- ftation?”" was the “Not “Is the practice ever exercised as a right r, “Not that I know of.” Chairman Burrows asked the witness to identify the book of Mormon, and then turning to the revelation of the Prophet Joseph Smith, he asked spe- clfically, in regard to the manner it was revealed and waa informed that is.was revealed to him by God, Chairman Burrows asked if polygamy K und Mr. ith answered that it was emphati- iy iden. “ | plural marriages, and Ilon’t believe," it a co of God in refreme to Dav . and Solo- mon and his lispeasurg because of the fact that thej\kejt more than one wife and many cowulines, Polymny Justified The Chairma® iked if that did not prohibit polyguny nnd if that were the case when wai tle law of the Lord changed in orde t¢ permit the practice.

Mrs. Bochow, he says, wielded the whip; her father gave her active support with a revolver, while’ her mother was there with pas- salve support, exercised vocally. Bochow is the New York manager of the Albany ‘Trust Company and has offices in the building at No. 74 Broad- way. His wife, Emma, lives with her mother and father at No, 8 Perry street. She has not lived with her husband for the past two years, and Bochow says that he had not had any communica- tion with her in that tlme'until she ap- peared at his office on Monday. ‘There was a warm conversation in the New York oMces of the Albany Trust Company when Bochow's wife, mothe: in-law and father-in-law arrived. Ten- ants of oflices In the vicinity heard the conversation and flocked to conventent windows and halis. It appears that the wife and the Parents-in-law joined in accusing Bochow of desertion. He admitted he was guilty from technical stand- point, but pleaded extenuating circum- stances. ‘These circumstances he (x- plained so frankly that his relatives by marriage became incensed.

The noise ot the whip as it struck his clothes and the flesh of his face and hands, the shouts of his father-in-law, the screams of his wife and the commendatory re- marks of. his mother-in-law aroused everybody on the floor and finally filled the office with business men and clerks. ‘These persons, Hochow eays, finally disarmed his father-in-law and his wife, tured with her exertions, ceased to wield the whip.

PLAYS A STAR COMEDY PART ON THE STAND. Lawyer Le Barbier Is So Sur- prised that He Asks that an Inquiry Be Made Into the Prisoner’s Sanity. When Recorder Goff undertook to de- fend Siev Rief, a burglar, as well as try him, he got a fool for a client. At any rate he sent Rief to the Tombs to be examined for his sanity to-day after Slev had played a star comedy part 18 the Recorder's court. G The accusation against Slev was that he threw a brick through the window of Carl Pfining'’s jewelry store at No. 1062 ‘Third avenue, inserted his arm into the aperture, thus obtained and ab- stracted a. number of clocks. The pros- ecution, through Assistant District-At- torney Clarke, presented several wit- nesses yesterday. They were skilfully cross-examined by the Recorder, and when tho State closed it was not at all clear that Siev had thrown the brick. Mr. Clarke announced that the State had no more witnesses when the Re- corder called the case to-day. It was expected that Recorder Goff would con- tinue to act as counsel for the defense. but Instead he appointed Charl: Barbier. pe New Attorney Takes Hold. Mr. Le Barbier protested that Slev's case had been excellently handled, but the Recorder insisted that he should look after the interests of the prisoner. Accordingly Mr. Le Barbier, who had never heard of Siev before, made a mo- tion that the case be dismissed on the sround that the prosecution had not brought suffictent evidence to establish @ crime, Recorder Goff overruled the motion, and Mr Barbler made a speech to the jury. There were tears in his voice a: he told how Slev was a stranger in a strange land, unable to speak the En- glish language and a victim of an un- fortunate train of ctroumstances. “I will put this forlorn alien on the stand,” announced Mr. Le Barbier, “and let him convince you of his in- nocene Biev, who had listened to Mr. Le Bar- bier’s speech with a grin of joy, went to the stand with alacrity.
