Show POWERS AS A CRIMINAL LAWYER judge rowers has had much expert enco jn in defending mom men and women charged with crime he has caught the tha trick of making thio the worse wora a appear pear the better causo luid and lie ho knows know just how bow to ply the th injunction upon a jury jurt that a rea reasonably reason ablo dought must be ba weighed not on sold erold scales but platform roi scales in favor of the accused the defense cherto that tie be put up tor for B IL roberts last in logan loga n judging from the synopsis ti that comes carries down to us that it Is 19 a desperate case and that it tho the judge la 19 working tor for a contIn gerat tee fee the tha part that he at present thinks will g go to his partners front roni the case Is powerful little tho the burden la Is that mr roberts roberta haa ban not been proven guilty th that at if 1 ha be Is 18 guilty rulley rull ty there on am others that there are men on tho the republican tick ticket et just juat as much involved as Is sir mr roberts and d that the reason of the arraignment of I 1 mr roberts Is that the motto this year Is anything to beat democrats the answer to all ajl those counts la Is sir mr roberts does not deny the he charras char 1 rather ho he confessed to them th 0 m before be f at any charges were made that if others aro are guilty though xe we have no proof to I 1 substantiate tile the charges charge we lie hope every one will bo be beaten and fl finally nilly tho the motto must bo be qualified for the anything to beat the democracy means anything that la is fair and honest and true tnie which mitigates against that aggregation ulon known as tha utah democracy tile the pathetic appeal of the judge when he asks it if polygamous poly ganious wives were ere to bo be cast ott off to struggle tor for their theft children to become not lal outcasts would be unworthy of judge rowers it if the tha bathos and this the transparent stillness silliness of the question did not disarm them of all sting sling who ever wanted any such culmination we ve do not pretend to read the hearts 0 of f men or to say nil hat it different men would esteem it foo 0 o ile bs a duty to do under the conditions referred to our thought would be that the utmost forbe li bearance aranco carance find and charity should be en entertained ter by all outsiders in cases of that hat kind that not only should mens sense of duty but their finati cial capabilities be considered but we are abaci absolutely c lear clear on ono point which Is that no man thus ln involved elved should be a candidate tor for an billee which ool lich includes it elected the registering of it a false oath or which would mould threaten the honor of tho the church to which he be belongs and the honor of the lead head of that church whom mr 13 H roberts has borne testimony a thousand times as being the very tolee gerent on earth of the god in heaven it will be remembered that the late president of the mormon church under elih oath gave his testimony that the manifesto meant the stoppage stop pago of polygamy in its entirety entirely that it applied as much to unlawful cohabitation as aa to tho the act of marriage that it was too loo an inspiration N w alch aich meant revelation from god ad himself hence when mr robarts or any other saint assumes aft humes to obey ono one part but to deride the other lie casts reproach upon tile the authority of tile the head or of hla his church and impeaches the truthfulness of tho the pledges that he and tile tho apostles made to the nation again neither mr roberts nor any ther other C man so involved has any right to bring the great majority of the people of 0 utah and tho the good flood namo name of the state itself into contempt before tho the world arid ile ho knew by the action of tho the Prosby presbytery tery that a storm was brewing ile he knew that those who nho have been standing by tho the mormon people and hoping that time would finally assuage all bitter neba and to do away amay with mith all wrong had bad hard enough work to perform but his Is a soul tic he Is determined to have his own way he does nut not care what he causes to others other und and his bearing reduced to words Is this 1 I have faced nothing I 1 do not intend to lice anything I 1 am without authority front from my church doing exactly ahat with milli that thai authority I 1 was waa doing when tho the government of the united states dis franchised me chave I 1 have never ceased in deriding the law but now it if I 1 can I 1 mean to be elected to congress and active and defiant fi polygamist that I 1 ani am compel tile house of represents taves to receive me as a peer jadao powers aska mho aho will ivill contest big seat possibly no one but does doea the judge jude or mr roberts himself imagine that the churches church ca of the united states mill w not ille he stormy protests against his being given A 1 beat in con gross but after till all the
