An account from the chapter on Nauvoo township. The inset identifies its exact source book and publication year.
Our readers will remember this individual as having been tried, found guilt}-, and executed a few j-ears ago in Utah, for his participation in the Mountain Meadow Massacre. In looking over the Church organ, we find his name as having been a resident at K^auvoo in ISiS, and a ti-aveling elder, preaching and healing the sick, as reported.
The chapter on Nauvoo Township in History of Hancock County, Illinois, Together with an Outline History of the State, and a Digest of State Laws, published 1880 names Nauvoo. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
Before me, John C. Bennett, Mayor of the City of Nauvoo, personally came Joseph ' Smith, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (commonly called Mormons), who. being duly sworn accorcUng to law, deposeth and saith, that he has never directly or indirectly encom-aged the purloining of property, or taught the doctrine of stealing, or any other evil practice, and that all such vile and unlaw- ful acts will ever receive his unqualified and unreserved disapproval, and the most vigorous opposition of the Church over which he presides, aud fm-ther this deponent saith not.
