been a mormon j ayi d the church in brooklyn in went through the endowment house in the fall of 1874 I 1 have not been severed from the church but am not in standing was through the st george temple in my endowments I 1 was take an oah was anointed and w as supposed to avenge anything that was contrary to the will of the chura I 1 took BO obligation to avenge the blood of the prophets it was anything not for the church is against it I 1 bad a a conver alien with mr dickson last night and tod him that I 1 understood to avenge the blood of the prophets on the nation in the overthrow of the government cf the united states and of the kingdom of god I 1 also took an oath to obey the priesthood the penalty of disobedience was death A roan nas to his throat cut my arm to be strong to wield the ew rd to strike anybody aba was an enemy to the kingdom the cliness in reply the court eaid when the government was overthrown I 1 the indians were to ba the battle axe to overthrow it when the kingdom of gd was established the mormon church was to take control rol the church was to up the kingdom on the ruins of tle tl e government I 1 understand the purpose of the church was to overthrow the govern i ent and beet itself up in lieu of it I 1 was to lake pirt if it came in my day mr baskin paid he had boine documentary proof and read from a sermon of resident brigham young delivered march ad ed in the journal of urises vol 1 page 83 mr moyle to the reading of the extract because it had no bearing on the endowments or the oaths alleged and did not pertain to the question before the court mr moore knows nothing of it court are kotlier cases than that of mr moore coma of them being p rons who have not been through the endowment house I 1 have iwer read this or any other mon of the elders of the curth and will hear it alie objection made is to members ot the mormon church and if the teachings tea things are to the church it is frorer to bear them mr moyle will you exclude a man because some other member of the church mide a statement that might be contrary to the law will the court place the whole church on trial for sui b expressions coart no that is not liht if young wa an authorized teacher still all the members of the church might not be but alie inference is that they agree with him fua way and his teachings would be evidence in this case brigham WAS the enot prominent leader tha church bai had and his teachings should be heard it W suppose any teachings should be treasonable and they were accepted by some would that debar another man would that not affect freedom of speech of courte ch should not ie interfered with but if there is an effort to overthrow the government all teachings of that nature are evidence mr baskin we claim that adv man who joins the mormon church or anili aies with it is not a man of good moral character court Is there any claim that that book is not an authorized public at on mr baskin it is published by a mormon elder baskin then read from vadearn which president young had related basic in then offered to read from a verinon by jedediah M grant published in the deseret neut july 27 1855 mr moyle we object to this because t is immaterial to this issue mr young all of the utterances of the darel bews yews are not regarded ai authority is the utterances of any roan because they are published by alie neus ara not binding on lie charch court 1 suppose every member of the chichis not bound by the utterances of the paper but it publishes what leading men have eaid mr young said there were many things published there which were not printed as doctrine aad were not accepted as such here a man comes and offers to a goud citizen and cf the utterances of someone before be came to the country be b to be kept out such a procedure is a farce mr dickan slid the sermon was by one of alie twelve apos les cobit it tt can be chown that the course of the procedure of the church was to destroy the government then every man who becomes a member of that organization en dorces tha doctrine mr young if they will show any open opposition to the government except that of 1857 which has been fully explained and has been settled by Cung tharo might be some truth in their claim but aliey cannot do this court to baaken you may proceed read f om the sermon regarding covenant breakers and the penalty that the apostle

have talked with my bretler in law about it and what he told me was in substance what I 1 witnessed in the endowment house mr dickason read a sermon by president youn in 1863 and read from the journal of the earmon refers to the unwarranted persecution se of joseph amich and the cormons mormons Mor mons in this the government was referred to as the best of all earthly governments mr D ackson eaid that the tenor of it was to teach the cormons mormons Mor mons that the government was their worst enemies brief extracts were also taken from the bieber 0 Kim hallon june 7 august 2 august SO ber 27

revelation on celestial marriage and to religious lian arty chajkin offered to read from the revelation on celestial marriage mr movie objected as there was no isue upon ahat revelation but the objection made to mr moore was that he had taken an oath in the endowment house against alie government the united states supreme court lias said that belief in plural marriage waa not unlawful mr dickson paid that lie thought no one who believed polygamy was right should be admitted to citizenship it w 11 be our contention in this CABO that no man ahn believes in plural marriage should be admitted bakin ba kin 0 o man who believes in that revelation dickson to admit such a one is a farce basken this polygamy is one of the doctrines of the church it it was a mere matter of belief an abstract idea then it could not ha reached but this revelation calls for action and requires obedience obe diecce under the penalties of damnation thousands leave ben in alie penitentiary tent iary and are serving today right r ight or ten thousand citizens liova practiced polygamy to control a man in all things and one who unites himself with such an organization is not a man of good moral character can it be ead that a man voluntarily connected with an 0 realization realisation ike this church is well disposed to alie american government court I 1 dont think it necessary to arue that further there are several cases depending on whether an oah waa or was not taken in the endowment house they were alco ob ft because thy th y were members of atie M rawn church that la is membership
