Indicted for polygamy under the Edmunds Act...

The bottom of page 3 has: "Indicted for Polygamy" which includes: "Henderson, three times tried at Malad, Idaho, for polygamy under the Edmunds law, has just been convicted of cohabiting with more than one woman in the marriage relation..." and a bit more.
The Edmunds Act is a federal statute, signed into law in 1882 declaring polygamy a felony in federal territories.
Twenty pages, very nice condition.
