Excerpt from Plea for Religious Liberty and the Rights of Conscience: An Argument Delivered in the Supreme Court of the United States, April 28, 1886, in Three Cases of Lorenzo Snow, Plaintiff in Error V. The United States, on Writs of Error to the Supreme Court of Utah Territory
I am firmly convinced, after a very thorough study of these cases, that both of these inquiries arise on these ree ords. I am to submit to you a constitutional question which involves the religious liberties of these people called Mor mons; and it arises in this way: This man was con victed three several times on evidence which was precisely this and no more, that on a certain day he casually introduced an acquaintance of his to two women, who were present in the marshal's office when he was under arrest, as his wives, and that is all there is of his language which is in evidence in these cases. The whole of his other conduct, if you grasp all its incidents in one bundle, resulted from moral and religious duties, as he estimated and believed his religious duties to be, and this I shall demonstrate to you, I think, is the precise question here. Without a doubt, it presents a constitutional ques tion, and a very grave one.
The first proposition to which I have to ask your atten tion is stated on the 22d page of my brief.

Once, may it please your Honors, and once only, in the course of my professional career, I have been counsel in a case in which the life of a human being was at stake. This was in the days of my youth - 46 years ago - when the energies were full, when ambition was high, when applause was sweet, and the desire for success was keen. And now, when I have passed my three score and ten, have arrived at an age when we look backward and not forward, when fame no longer allures and little is left but duty to be discharged because it is duty, I find myself here engaged in a cause which is directly to affect the peace, the welfare, the safety, the religious constitutional rights of thousands of my fellow creatures, and may possibly draw into its consequences the lives of some of them. Bear with me this great responsibility, at least so far as to understand and appreciate the ground? of my apprehension. Bear with me while I separate those considerations and elements which are fit to be entertained by this Court, from those which belong exclusively to the statesman and the legislator.
