"Prest. Young told Br. [Jacob] Hamblin that as soon as a court to Justice could be held, so that men could be heard without the influence of the military he should advise men accused to come forward and demand trial on the charges preferred against them for the Mountain Meadows massacre." Hamblin (who did not participate in massacre) refers to his conversation when he testifies at trial of John D. Lee in 1876.
