A They could not find a prisoner uniform for his 285
pounds
From the life of Francis M. Lyman: Lyman refused to
compromise with the government on plural marriage. “How we are to be pitied
when we cannot face bonds and imprisonment, persecution or death for our holy
religion. Latter-day Saints must be made of better stuff. O that the Lord will
let me die before I cower like a whipped cur and yield to the infernal lash. I
would a hundred times rather hear of a good man’s death than to hear that he
has yielded any principle of the gospel.”
Following President George Q. Cannon’s example, he surrendered to
U.S. marshals and was fined $200 and sentenced to eight-five days in the
territorial “Pen.”
When a suit of stripes could not be found to accommodate his 280
pounds, Lyman had to settle for a mere “striped hat.”
