en ee eee eee ace eee nee eee tween him and Barber, as to their joint interest im the jurchase ! minister, or officer, during the summer; Adams ached the coronation sermon July Bt, 1890, when ** James” was crowned king). Adams ad- ministered the covenant to me in May previous, and previous to that time { had heard his character was bad, but did not think it had thing to do with his office in the church; the po Tome ee remove its officers appointed by Strang, by having charges rogalarly conferred and acted upon in conference. Adams was not removed at the succeeding October conference; bave heard Erastus Miller and Mr. Mc Kinly doubt Adams’ character for truth and vera- city; the most sealous of the Saints are the most per- secuted, (by the Gentiles,) Strang the most because he is at the head of the church. Iam town clerk, and gave the certificate here that Asa B. Field was duly elected and qualified as constable, but { had no official knowledge that he was; it was before I was elected that he was acting as constable; the for- mer township clerk never kept any record, and I know by hearsay that he was constable. The former township clerk gave mo some papers, among which was a statement of the electien and the re- sult, ‘and I found Field’s name ameng those elected. Think John C. Hill told me 2 COPE DY d gone to Garden island to arrest Moore. I had before heard Graham mention the contemplated arres; of Meore. Moore and Adams left the island about the same time; think it wasin October. Tho ocea- sion on which Adams wpeke béghly of Strang’s hholiness was on the 8th of July, (coronation day ;) {knew Adams before he went there; I nevor had any difficulty with him exeept some money transac- tions; there’ was no one present when Adams told me he would ge off and return and break up the Mormon church. When Adams _ proposed or said he was going to destroy McKinley’s pro- perty by fire,I did not inform McK., or take any measures to prevent it, er have him arrested for the threat. At a meeting after Strang returned from Voree, Wis., ‘I heardfhim speak of the neces- sity of rendoring obedience to those in uihecltys it was with regard to some dissatisfaction about Adams’ administration of affairs as viceroy, in Strang’s absence; didnot hear Strang say at the meeting in the grove, that he approved of all Adams had done, as viceroy, in his absence, and what he (Adams) had done, he, himself, had done; did not hear him use these words, but spoke of the necessity of obedience to those in authority. The covenant enforces implicit obedience to James J. i cburch matters; think if Strang had to morning that be had receiv: vole God for me to swear to any psrticwlar (ing, I think I should not do it, if I knew nothing about it. [ro- cognize Strang as the true prophet of God. Our church is not exaetly a secret society; there is an obligation or covenant of sverecy with regard to ‘he covenant, but it is not very binding; the cove- vant meetings are all secret to thoso only who have taken the covenant; thery is a secret society within the church, not embraving all its members. The Privy Council did not exist before the coronation of Strang; [don’t know anything about passwords, signs, and grips, in the secret society of the eburch. I took the regular ont of office as Town Clerk; when Adams administrated the covenant, hé said thore was nothing in it to con‘lict with any obliga- ‘tion as a citizen; taking the covenant is considered an advancement in the chureh; every one is not al- lowed to become covenant members; Adams re- peated it to me by sentences, and I assented to it ard signed it; this book of the law (placed in the hands of the witness) defines the duty and calling of the king (Strang,) who defined the duties of his privy council; and the viceroy (Moore.) was created a “nobleman” or prince, in July, at which ceremony Strang and Adams officiated; (a * no- ble” is an exalted station in the kingdom.) Direct examination—Adams told me he took the covenant in Boston in 1849, from Strang. ‘*The book the law” which I examined here, is received aad considered as the law promulgated on Mount Sinai, and is tobe the law which shall prevail when God brings in everlasting righteousness upon the earth, at the millenium; it is not a law suited to the pre- sent time and condition of manj itis a part of our faith that we approach as near that law, as we are allowed to, consistent with the laws of the country. Samuel Graham sworn oa defence—Was at a meeting of Mormons and Indians on the steamer Lexington, in February, the day after the attempt to arrest Moore; the Indians said they wished to | explain their conduct, and said Moore had begged protection of them to see him safe back to Macki- naw, and they had given him their pledge for pro- tection, which was the reason they did so the day before; that they should see him back to Macki- uaw and then their duty would end. Strang in reply said a warrant had been issued for Moore, and reminded them of their duty under their treaty, and the wrong they committed in interfer- ing with the execution of the laws. They replied, said if they had known there had been a warrant for him, they would not have done as they did, and would not do it again; must now keep their pro- mise with Moore, as he had informed taem it was for a very different purpose. At a conver: a at Dousman’s dock in April last, Adams said he would have revenge on Strang, cost what it might; said be had nothing against any ove else on the island; but Strang’s course with his wife had been such that he would have revenge. Tobias MeNutt, sworn—Says he knows Adams, Moore, and Diowne; impeaches them all as to vera- city; knew Adams before he came here; never heard any Gentile here speak of his reputation; nover heard any Mormon, before the 8th of July Inst; his bad reputation has grown up since then; Moore’s reputation for truth has never heard questioned by Gentiles here; is bad among the Mormons; Mica- Drowne has never heard questioned amongst Gentiles; believe he a Mormon before he lvft the island; my impression of all of them is derived 10m what the church members bave eaid; there has deen trouble between Adams and Moore, with the cbwch. I am a member; believe Strang is a prophet; took a covenant in Ohio; it was in anasso- ciation with which Strang was connected; believe trang’s autho ~ is derived directly from God; have no doubt of it; believe he is under the inspiration of Almighty God, and gifted with unkoown toagues. If God, in this intercourse, should reveal to the prophet that certain thinzs should be done, and Strang should state them to ime, I would believe it, | and think they ought to be done, because (iod commanded it, (under some cireumstances;) if God were to reveal certain commands to Strang, and he promulgated them, | would obey them. cei. the Bible as a revelatio i {eT find in # command to do a part I would do if it was a command to violate the law of the land, 1 would not obey it; feel bound to keep the civil laws of the country in which I live.

The State against Miles A. Bradley, on the Complaint of Robert Barber, for Obtain- ing money under False Pretences. Before Justice Mountfort. Thomas P. St. John being duly sworn on the part of the defendant, says:—I am a Brokers I the city of Brooklyn, and transact business at No, 35 Wall street, in the city of New York; I Know Miles A. Bradley, the defendant here present; I also know Robert Barber, of St. Louis; Bradley first spoke to me about the yarchews of the Oxford Bank about the begins of Oc- ber last, in this city; Barber was wot then with him; he inquired if it was for sale, and who was the proper man to ne; ith; I stated te him, in general terms, that [had had some conversation on the subject with Geo, Hobart (who then lived at Oxford) some time pre- viously, but I knew but {little about the condition of the bank; he then goggetnd the idea of his going to Oxford himeelf to tee Hobart, to which I replied, per- haps be bed, at the same time stating that I had no doubt Hobart would treat him fairly and honorably io the negotiation; at his request I gave bim a brief letter of introduction to Geo. Hobart, whom I ‘nown since 1843; he went immediately to Oxford, as I believe; I had not seen Mr. Barber before Mr. Bradley left, to my best recollection, Bradley having left the next morning; but I saw Barber a day or two aiter at my office, to which he came for the purpose of a friendly call and of identifica- tion in connection with « draft on the American Ex- change Bank; I had known Barber since 1843, when [ first became acquainted with him in Philadelphia, where I then lived; I no conversation with Barber about the Oxford Bank until after Bradley's return from Ox- ford, which was about a week after; after Bradley's re- turn, I made some general inquiries as to his success; our house had been Bradley's correspondent, and had kept his accounts for more than a year previous; after Brad- ley’s return, Hobart called at our office and made inqui- Ties of us about him, as to who and what he was; this ‘must have been from the 7th to the 12th of October; I ‘answered that I susposed Mr. Bradley was a fair business man, that he kept an active though not a @ account at our office, and that what we kn ‘him, we con- sidered bim a good business man, and was a pri- that vate banker #t Cincinnati, or that he principally owned the Phornix Bank at Cincinnati, which was a private bank ; Mr. Bradley made our office his stopping-place, on our invitation, we being his correspondents, and the invita- tion being usual in such cases ; Hobart, t, Brad- ley, and Capt. Converse were frequently in the office; sometimes together and at other times singly, apparantly negotiating on the subject of the purchase of the Oxford Bank, but I took no active part in the matter. except to chat with them generally on the subject; I do not re- member anything of importance until a meeting at, the Frapklin House; Mr. Bradley called a: our residence, then in Tenth street, New York, between four and five o'clock, one afternoon, about the middle of October—I think the 13th or 14th—and requested me to call upon him that evening ut the Franklin House, to meet Mr Hobart; he gave as his reason that he wished me to use my influence with Hobart, to soften him down in his price, as he asked a large one, and said if I chose I might take an interest in the purchase; I told him I did not want an interest in the purchase at any such rate.as Hobart claimed, which, I think, Bradley said was $10,000; I declined go- ing down, but after some persuasion, told him I would think of it, and probably come down in the evening; 1 did go down, and met Bradley and Hobart there; the subject of the purchase was talked over, but who intro- duced it L do not remember; something was said either by Bradley or myself about’ Hobart’s charge; L think it likely Tasked him what he was going to charge, and I stated that I might take an interest in the purchase, if the bank could be obtained om a good footing and every- thing was done right; there was considerable bantering, and I finally asked Hobart if $2,000 would not pay him pretty well to go through with the purchase; he said no, that he should have to divide bis commission with Barton; he then gave rome general conversation which he had bud with Barber or Converse, or both, and perhaps with Bradley, in which a lower price had been offered him. Ue then said he had considered the subject, and had put his proposition on paper in the form of an agreement, which be exhibited and read, which ‘was, that “be would complete the negotiation for $7.00. I don’t remember the names inserted in this agreement as contracting with Hobart. They were, I think, Bradley, Barber, and Con- verse, Bradicy and iTobart then had some conversation about the price named in the proposition, Hobart in- fisted on that price ; and T told them it was altogether out cf my reach, and that at that or any such rate I should decline huving anything to do with the matter. Either then, or just before, I suid that $2,000 was enough, Dut that if Bradley chore to pay $1,000 or $2,000 mor. on his own responsibility, he might do as he pleased in that Teepect.. Ithen got up, and, started to go. but Hobart said, “ Wait a moment,” and L think be added that if [ was to have an interest in it, be might reduce his price, on the ¢core of old friendship. I finally said he shouid make his arrangements with Beadley, as I should proba- bly decline taking an interest in it, of something of that kind, Then. Mr, Hobart, in an off-hand manner, said to me that if Mr. Tiradiey and I had got through with our business, I could go, and I immediately left. I don’t re- collect that before we separated, an appointment was made tomect at my office the next day.” My. impression is that none was made while | was there. ‘There was no meeting of Hoburt and Bradley at my office the next morning, that I recollect. Hobart was in my office the next day or the day after, and there was some gene- ral conversation between him and ane about the bank, in which he said if there was anything further to be done, he must refer the parties to Colonel Wey- mouth, 1 replied to him that I) should probably Lave nothing to do with it myself, and of course should have nothing to do with Colonel Weymouth. Mr. Bradley was in the office that day or the next, and asked if Leovld yo with him to Oxford, giving as a reason that he wanted somebody to examine the eondition of the bu ak, and examine the bank lawe, &e., as I was con- proposed to my expenses, and whatever I might ask besides, and he did pay them; we went next dy to Oxford to see Barton, and Bradley stated to him that his object was to buy the majority of the stock of the Oxford Bank, having introduced himself as Mr. Bradley, and stated ‘that he had bad some negotiation with Mr. Hobart on the sub- ject; we agreed to mect at Webster, and did meet there, and Barton, at Bradley's request, went and borrowed the laws of Massachusetts, and, I think. the annual re- rt of the bank; I looked over the hanking laws for an our or two, I’ think and gave Bradley its general pints, which. I think, he minuled down; Bradley and he iad an interview by themselves together for souve time; Bradley called me into the room, and said they had made an arrangement or agreement about the bank, and asked if I would not put it down in writing; he had of it drawn ff, I think, on half a sheet of paper, put it in form, and wrote it out, each signing and & copy; Bradley and { then came to New York; we ar- rived on the 17th October; Barton had sald he was aole to do all he had offered to do do, ard was worth $23,000 or $45,000 above his debts, and that he could furnish at any time from $2,000 to $5,000, to aid in carrying through the purchase, and that he had $2000 on hand, which be wenld apply in that way; at North Oxford, and befere we went to Webster, Bradley Im:roduced himself to Barton as from Cincinnati, and stated that he was one of the propri » proprie whieh—el th ix Bank of Cioeinnati, » donk. bills, and that his Doy!ng a bank wee te procure bills for circulation through r—1 cannot reaollest rivate his bank in Ci afier my return to New York, Mr Varber was several thes, and met Me.

A.—Atter the fracas in Worcester, last fall time before, Mr. Barber started for the W. the cflice complaining somewhat about Bradley in his | operations ; he complained that he had got» lenge smount of money from him. connected with this Oxford matter ; I arked him how much—was it $10,000 ' he re- ied, ~ Yea, more than that ;" I ex surprice, and e enid he had let him have $17,600 in all.

A —No, sir. .—Do know thing of Bradley's dra palvalteeds weresnee? sate fully, oy di A.—Iknow he drew on him for $3,700; the draft came in a letter from Bradley to A. 8t.

Q.—Did Bradley in October and November last, conceal from you the fuct that Barber had advanced money for, and was to have an interest in the purchase of the Ox- ford Bank? A.—No; it was talked over among them time and again; I mcan among Bradley, Barber, Weymouth, ‘Hobart, Converse, Ansel St. John, and myself, Q.—Did Mr. Barber ever call upon Jousnd tell you that if there was any idea of getting out all the money of the bank that could be got out, and then letting it go down, that he would withdraw, and have nothing more to do with it, or anything to that effect? —No sir. The direct examination of the witness here closed. Cross-examination of Mr. T. P. St. John.—Q.—When was your attention first directed to the purchase of the Oxford Bank? ‘A.—I should think in the summer, or early in the fall of 1850 ; I cannot say that there had been any partiou- lar negotiation on my part, with a view to the purchase of the bank, before Mr. Bradley came here, which was, [ think, in the beginning of October ; there had been conversations between Ans] St. John. myself and Mr. Weymouth before that time respecting the condition of the bank. and the probability of its being purchased, or, in other words, whether it could be bought ; Mr. Woy- mouth introduced the subject, and referred to his friend Mr. Hobart, who resided at Oxford, as knowing the facts, and volunteered to write to Hobart on the subject, and did write accordingly ; to which Hobart replied, trans. mitting @ synopsis of the published statement of the bank for 1848 ; this was in the summer, I think, of 1850 ; Mr. ‘Weymouth wrote on his own responsibility, as 1 suppose, and did not mention our names that I know of ; Mr. Hobart, some time after this, was in town, and called to see me, I think in company with Mr. Weymouth ; the subject was talked over by Hobart, Weymouth and my- self indefinitely,an3 I have no distinct recollection of what was said; the subject of the possibility of the pur. chare eithe Ansel St. John, or myself, or both, was then talked over ; I don’t recollect whether the pro- bable outlay necessary was mentioned, though I presume it was; the subject dropped with that conversation; I don’t recollect our saying anything more to Hobart about it ; but I may bave talked with Weymouth about it; the last conversation on this subject might have been two or three months before Mr. Bradley's arrival. Q.—When you and Bradley first poke of the purchase of the Oxford Bunk, after his arrival here, by which of you was the subject introduced, and what was said ? A.—I don’t know who introduced the subject ; I don’t recollect whether he had conversed with Ansel St, John before on the subject; I have no recollection of what was said in the first conversation between Bradley and my- elf on the subject. Q.—How many conversations had you or Ansel St. John with Bradley, about the bank. before you gave him the letter of introduction to Hobart ? State the substance of them. ‘A.—-Perhaps two or three short conversations; but I don’t recollect the substance of them; they might have hai reference to the condition of the bank, and the statement received from Hobart might have been shown to Bradley either by A. St. John or myself, amd J think very likely it was, —Is that all that you recollect of any of those con- verrations? A —-I should think it was Q—Did you and Ansel St. John, or either of you in apy conversation with Bradley, Hobart, and Weymouth, or either of them, before the letter of introduction above referred to, speak of taking an interest in the ?

A.--I do not recollect Particularly what was said. Q.—If you do not recollect particularly what was raid, how do you know that the subject of your and Ansel St. John’s intended .or probable interest in the purchase was referred to? A.--The subject talked of was the sale of the stock of the bank, and the possibility of the purchase by Ausel St. Jobn or me, or Loth of us; what was said particularly, Idon t remember, Q.--Do you not remember the substance of what was said about the possibility of the purchase by Ansel 8t. Jobn or you, or both of you? If you do state it. A.—Atone of the conversations with Mr. Hobart. possi: wy. and I think probably. the <irst one, the subject of the purchase was talked of generally, and of our taking ‘an interest in it; whem I say our, I mean one or both, or | either of us, What was aid about it? A-—Thave given you al! that was seid about it thus far as I recollect. ‘The conditian of the benk and the value of the stock was probably talked about; I presume we (f mean Ansel St. John or anyself, ove or both) said might take an interest inthe purchas of the bank, if, upon examination, a satisfastory arramgement could’ be made; that is all; "that wasthe substance of the conver- tioned ?
