WAsinxnTON, A pi II 'JS One of llie most
roiiimkable uigumenli whlcli has been niaile
In the supreme court et the t'liileil Klnles
since Judge Black discussed the famous Mil
lignii case, was delivered le-ilny by fleetgn
Tlckuer Curtis. The c.xtit was that of Loreiirn
Snow, nil npped from llie siiprnuie court or
I'tali. Huew Is oue el the twelve uHstps of
the. Mermen church. Hels 71! 3 ears of age
nud Is n man el leumrknhln scholarly ultnlu ultnlu
mellis. He was one of (he caily converts
made by Jeseph Smith, Jr., tlie founder or the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day -SalntH.
1 remember hearing him preach .1 sermon in
tlie great lubeiiuicle In Salt Like city several
years age, In an audience or mere than six
thousand people. Ofcemmimdlug presence,
and with n highly lulellistunl luce, tills man
would liave exciled the admiration of the
must cultivated assembly In the wetld. Ills
manner of delivery and Ids r-lneutlrm were
theso of the trained nialer. Ills diction was
lelly, his discourse surprisingly eloquent.
I subsequently met AkisIIe Snow nt the
house of n 11111t11.1l friend mid was charmed
by his easy dojiertuicut nml Ids conversa
tional powers.
This man Is new in tlie Utah penitentiary,
having been convicted of unlawful cohabita
tion in three separate cases before Judge
Pewers, ntOgdee, Ulnh. He Is sentenced In
six months Imprisonment In cricli of the three
rami, ami te uy the costs or prosecution,
nml three lines or J.'UHI each the full
penally of the Inw. He win olio of
llie first te accept the truth of the
revelation concerning plurnl marriages re
ceived by Jeseph Smith in KIJ. ITpeu the
passage of the Ddmiinds law lu KV- he had
live wives living, who, with their families,
worn maintained by him In Brigham City.
.Separale establishments were provided ler
each el the families. The law against unlaw
ful cohabitation laiing enacted Mr. Snow nt
oncenimouuccd his dotermimitieu te obey It.
The terms el that law were general, nml the
recognized meaning el the word cohabitation
in crlm.nal status was that hexual Inter Inter Inter
ceurse which the relations between man and
wlle Imply. Thonutherof the Inw nml these
who favored Its mssage by Congress dis'lured
Hint its purpose was te preenl the luture
pracllce of iKilygmneus marriages. It wm
miueuiiced Hint llsebjist was net te break up
family relaliens which had been leriucd
when Iheie was no enaclment making
isilygniny acriuie. The issues of such mar
riages were legitimatized. The common un
derstnmllug was that while the male polyga pelyga
mlstscniild maintain their plurnl families,
siipirt mid care for their dillereiit wives
they must live and have Iiitnrrnu-e ns man
mid wlle with one woman only.
This was w hat Mr. Snewdld. He net only
separated Irem four of his vies nud innln-
tallied domestic relations Willi only one, but
announced that this was te be his course of
life. IIe did net ncknowledge that by his
previous ceurse of Hie he had been guilty of
disolwillcnce te any dlvine commandment,
but maintained that his manner of living was
in accordance with a ill me revelation which
(ed had given te Jeseph Smith. Still ns the
siiiireme iniwer of his country had lorblddeu
such relations, and even the appearance of
the same, he would respect by outward
npw)arimccs that law.
111: MAivrvivr.n ins vvMit.irs.
The government, en the trial of tlie cases
against Suew , w as net uble te prove that he bail
lived with mero that 0110 of his wives niter
the enactment of the Kilmuuds law. In
deed the record shows that the w Itnesses
for the pre-H ullen testltied that he had rarely
ever seen lour or his former wives, nml en
such occasions as he did see them he or they
weionlwnvsnccemiutilod by ether persons.
The defense udmllled the nudlileiiance of the
families, and the defendant and the wives
admitted also that us their religion taught
that inarrlage was for time and eternity, they
held that lu a spiritual sense they weie
united te each ether by indissoluble ties.
Judge I'owers held in tlie Het case that this
was holding out the wives and pruetlcully
directed 11 verdict or guilty. Ill the second
case he held that there was a presumption of
sexual intercourse and under this ruling
the Jury convicted. In tlie third cue there
was stiil another ruling by the Judge, mndn
te Ht the facts, and u conviction of ceurse
te lowed, lu 1 1 tali the iiiry are juuges eniy
et the facts uml must take the Inw trem the
court.
On theuppe.il te the supioine court el the
territory. Pewers sat In review upon hlmsell,
uml by Ins casting vote utlirined his own
rulings.
I' pen the appeal te the supreme court el
the Culled States.lIou.Oeorgo Tlckuer Curtis
was retained for Mr. Snow, nud Ids argu
ment te-day was devoted net only te 11 scath
ing review et the proceedings lu the three
eases nppoaled, tint te a discussion el the en
tire Mermen problem. Mr. Curtis Is 0110 el'
the low great constitutional lawyers et the
old school remaining. His literary fund Is
quite equal te his reputation ns lawyer and
udvocite Hels the author of a history of
the constitution, 01100I the most admirable

passage of the ICdinunds act was spiritual,
religious, due te the tact that inarrlage by

world, though the geed doctor never had. It
patented.
Prerently lie entered upon Investigations
into animal magnetism, spiritualism, clair
voyance and dually developed his theory of
statuvolence, upon ivliicli he wrote an inter
esting work. Ills theory was that the treat
ment of disease should be mental ; and that
the mind of a tiatlent could be put Inte such
a condition with relation te the member or
part of the body alllicted as te entirely with

In his many exKrlmenU and with the

he tested his theories he doveleiwd most
remarkable and startling results ; and his
reports attracted great attention among the
scientific men and Institutes of the Old World.
In this vicinity were a number of persons

Of late years, however, and since he lias
