the law of the land and not practice polygamy
From the life of Henry Reiser:
He was arrested under the Edmunds law, Aug. 24, 1886, on charge of
unlawful cohabitation and on Sept. 17, 1887; by advice of his attorney he then
withdrew his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty. When Judge Zane asked him
if he had anything to say before sentence was passed, he replied that he had
eighteen souls depending entirely on him for their support, and that about a
year ago he was robbed of about $800 worth of watches; hence he was pretty well
reduced in means. The judge asked if he would promise to obey the law in the
future. Elder Reiser replied that he could not give any such promise
conscientiously. He was then sentenced to six months imprisonment and to pay a
fine of $300 and cost of suit, the latter amounting to $43.
