On inquiry by lutt-renUtl parties, At-

an opinion holding thnt a bill allowing
a majority of a jury to find a verdict

terney Jensen, at Brigham City, who
wj counsellor for Brigham Young.
Jwson had moro than one wifo, but
Witness said sho had went through tho
endowment house several times, ns a
representative of dead women who wero
being married for eternity.
The witness told of tho oaths taken
during tho ceremonies in tho endow-
jnent house. She described tho robes,
which she said bore a heart on tho left
side, a squaro on tho right sldo, a rent
crer the abdomen, and nnother over tho
knee. These wero for the purposo of ro-
minding tho wearer of tho oath taken.
The witness withdrew from tho church
because she found that it was, not what
ihe thought it was.
The witness said tho robes were worn
afterwards, by both males and females,
as undergarments. "Do you suppose
that every Mormon in this room, in
good standing, is wearing those under
garments?" asked Senator Overman.
"Yes, I know they are," responded tho
witness.
She had never heard of any of tho
penalties prescribed being infiictod on
any one, nnd didn't fear bodily harm
when sho went back to Utah, but tho
loss of business.
Chas. II. Jackson, of Boise, Demo
cratic state chairman of Idaho, declared
that whatever tho Mormon church
wanted in Idnho they" carried out, and
that it would bo lmpossiblo for olthor
tho Republicans or Democrats to win
nny point if opposed by tho church.
Not a Mormon voted tho Democrntie
tlckot at tho last eloction. Tho inquiry
adjourned until tomorrow morning.
