daniel H wells being duly sworn says ju in respect to the charge of contempt now pending against me for refusing to answer the two questions relating to the apron and slippers of persons gottig through the tha ceremony of the eig elg endowment house honse of the mormon church I 1 meant no disrespect to this court I 1 declined wholly upon conscientious grounds I 1 was willing to testify to any material fact not covered by any previous obligation and had I 1 been interrogated while on the witness stand to elicit these facts I 1 should have stated and the truth is that persons going through such ceremonies wear cial clai igar Egar garments ments and these are tire precisely the same whether the wearer in the course of those ceremonies is united in marriage plural or otherwise or not and those married are not distinguished by any difference of dress dresa from those who do not enter into the marriage relation DANIEL JEL EL WELLS i sworn to and subscribed before me this ad day

not of equal gravity the ques eions put to mr wells wella as shown in the fhe th affidavit wore were wholly emmate rial to the prosecution cution and were therefore unimportant they re ze quiren k him
