sexual relations with the two wives he was accused of cohabiting with after polygamy was criminalized. The Court rejected Cannon's argument, holding that "[c]ompacts for sexual non-intercourse, easily made and easily broken, when the prior marriage relations continue to exist, with the occupation of the same house and table and the keeping up of the same family unity, is not a lawful substitute for the monogamous family which alone the statute tolerates." Cannon was pardoned in 1894 by U.S. President Grover Cleveland. Death Cannon died of "apoplexy" in Salt Lake City, Utah. See also Clara C. M. Cannon References External links Angus M.
