' District Judge Ray Van Cott, Jr., who presided without a Jury, announced the verdict. This is the first time any defendants In the complicated polygamous m a r riage case have been either con victed or acquitted. The 15 men among 46 per sons arrested March 7 in four western states in a federal-state investigation of plural marriage practices were accused of living with 55 women not their legal wives. The maximum penalty is five years in prison. " Defense counsel announced that a motion for a new trial would be filed before sentences are pronounced. Defense was based on asser tions that plural marriage con stitutes a religious belief of the "fundamentalist" cull to which all defendants belong and as such Is protected under religious freedom guarantees of the Unit ed States constitution. Cult members contend they are following original teachings of the Later-Day Saints (Mormon) church which in its early years authorized plural marriages but outlawed them in 1890.

Co ora- do and Arizona are pending, in cluding a state charge of conspir ing to advocate, promote and practice polygamy, naming 34 men and women.
