Recess.
Geo. a. Smiths deposition sets out
his sickness and inability to attend
the trial. He had no military COM
mand in 1857 and no position but that
of one of the Twelve Apostles. He
never attended any concerning the de.
struction of the emigrants; never
knew or heard of the emigrants till he
met them at Corn Creek, about August
2oth, 1857, as he was going back
North. In his preaching in South
ern Utah he counseled the people to
save their grain in case of actual
want. He advised the, people to
supply the emigrants with food for
themselves, but not to sell grain for
stock or use it themselves for that
purpose. He never heard of the mas
sacre until after his return to Salt
Lake. He heard of it first at Fort
Bridger. He denies that he was ac-
cessory to the massacre or aided or
abetted it. He knows nothing of
the distribution of the emigrant's
property.
Brigham Young swears that he is
~ years oiui anu COulu nOU WITHOUT
great risk now endure the fatigue of
the journey to Beaver. He was Gov
ernor in 1857, and President of the
Church. In June, 1857, the United
States Government stopped the mails
for Utah and sent an army ostensibly
to destroy the Latter Day Saints. No
Z. S. Judge was here in the latter part
of 1857. Heard a rumor that Arkan-
sas emigrants had passed through Salt
Lake. He never gave an order to
them to leave Salt Lake, and never
heard of their being ordered away.
His advice to the citizens was not to
sell grain to the emigrants for their
stock, but to supply food for the emil
grants. Crops had been short several
years and the prospect of trouble with
the United States army then at hand
was imminent. The citizens were
counseled not to feed grain to their
stock. No person was ever punished
for supplying food to emigrants so far
as he knows. He never knew of the
