[Apostle John Henry Smith]
At 10 a.m. I went to Court, Judge Anderson presiding.
A number of Witnesses was put on the stand to show that the Saints were murderous and disloyal and that in the [temple] endowments men obligated themselves to murder. Apostates ... were sworn and gave testimony filled with lies. The day was consumed by new witnesses.
