Roberts Refused Seat in Congress After Three Hour Debate

The House voted 302 to 49 to appoint a special committee to investigate charges against Heigham J. Roberts, Utah’s Mormon representative.

Roberts defended himself, arguing legal acts and “higher law” policy justify his standing, while opponents cited polygamy records and precedent.
