[David O. McKay] At Salt Lake City. Special Council meeting of the Twelve, sitting on the case of Reuben G. Miller, accused of having taken a plural wife contrary to the discipline and order of the church. He has been misled, and is thoroughly repentant.
In the afternoon, we tried Matthias F. Cowley on the charge of encouraging others to enter into secret marriages, and inducing a man to perform such ceremonies, since he was last before the Council. He denied the charge, and maintained his innocence.
