The polygamy problem in Utah...
Item # 693124
October 30, 1884
ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT, Oct. 30, 1884 Page 6 has a report: "Polygamy Problem in Utah" noting: "In the John Connelly polygamy case...the regular panel was exhausted and only four jurors obtained...Yesterday they heard argument as to the propriety of excluding polygamists from voting at school elections...".
This was likely the result of the recent Edmunds Act, a federal statute signed into law in 1882 declaring polygamy a felony in federal territories.
Twenty pages, very nice condition.
