A HIOnsITOus Crime Unatoncd
For,

The San Francisco Bulletin thus
alludes to the massacre some time ago
of an emigrant party from Arkansas
comprising about one hundred and
thirty .fve men, women and children
by Indians, as it was at first charged
and the plunder of their entire train of
wagons, horses, mules, and.a variety
of goods. At tho time this terrible
slaughter was attributed solely to Indi-
ans; but subsequent development led to
the suspicion that the attack was stimu-
lated and aided by members Of tho
Mormon communities settled in the
vicinity ofthe scene Of blood. From
time to time, since these dark suspi-
cions have been confirmed by admis-
sions of Mormons themselves, or OF
men who have abandoned the church.
A few months ago, about the time the
army under General johnson entered
the valley Of Salt Lake, a gentleman
from California, visiting the Mormon
southern settlements, embraced the
opportunity to push inquiries in regard
to The massacre, and learned that the
struggle in which the emigrants lost
theirlives was prOtractcd during Pc
riod of nearly three weeks, and yet it
was not claimed that the Mormons ten
