Tho Court room was crowded to suffocation. Much anxiety was evinced on the part of ths Mormons, but not the least show of disorder or disrespect to the Court. The Hon. C. H. Hempstead and Thomas Fitch were counsel for prisoner, and United States Attorney Bates for the prosecution.
Hempstead moved that the prisoner be admitted to bail, on the ground that he was an old man of seventy-one years of age and in feeble health.. He had come four hundred miles to meet this and all other charges, and his physicians certified that imprisonment would imperil his life. Bates offered no opposition to bail, but suggested that if bail be taken, it should be fixed at 500,000 dols.
