[David O. McKay] Considered evidence against Bro[ther] M[atthias]. F. Cowley, who, it is alleged, has recently encouraged clandestine plural marriages.
No definite action taken.
Excommunicated John W. Woolley for having performed such marriages. Poor man! he was deceived, and is now almost broken-hearted.
