Excerpt from Report of the Governor of Utah to the Secretary of the Interior, 1885 The Mormon authorities unquestionably control the great body of the people, and by means of legislatures named by them have persist ently thwarted the purposes of Congress, by which means national con trol over its best Territory is perverted. Unbearable as this condition is regarded by all good people in every section, the further fact is shown in the present term Of the district court of this city where a number of leading Mormons, convicted of crime under the laws Of the United States, solemnly decline to acknowledge the binding effect of laws of the United States, and declare their purpose to continue in the practice of the dis obedience for which they stand arraigned or convicted, and as a reason for such action assert that to do otherwise would bring them under the ban of the organization to which they belong, and would leave them to be regarded with scorn and contempt by their associates and people.
