How the Blood of the Martyrs Was to be Avenged. FANATICISWS VICTORY OVER FEROCITY. AE Sey CASE ES Horrible Stories of Open and Secret Assassination. Sarr Lake Crvy, May 4, 1877. Joun D. Lee, who has been paraded as the heavy villa of the Mountain Meadows massacre, and who was undoubtedly chiet_of the Mormon cutthroais on that occasion, has been lampooned since bis execution for not having implicated Brigham ‘Young, bis Mormon chiel, His published coniessions bave been ransacked in vain for a direct accusation of the Prophet. Al- thongh the terms of those confessions frequently sig- bify Lis resentwent toward Brigham Young, avd even £0 80 far as to accuge him of betraying and sacrificing bis life-long servant, they failer on the verge of a dis- sinct arraignment of the Prophet as the author of the Massacre, That there wus a strong reason tor Lee's hesitativn to pronounce judgment upon his chief respecting the Mouatain Mcadows affuir is apparent to all who understand the ties between Mormons, Lee, condemned by the law, but still having hope trom the Church, forebore, except in secret, to testify against bis master. Superatitious to the last he expected from ‘that master his release, 1 am told by the United Stutes Marshal who conducted him from his prison to his softin and by several of the special marsbals who ac- companicd him along the way that Lee constangly teed upon Brigham Young fora rescue, Trusting thus in the friendship of his ancient chiet he kept out pt bis written communications to bis lawyer and the Unitea States Disirict Attorney anything d.rectly ac- susatory of the heads of the Mormon Church. It was mly at the last, when all hope had deserted him, that ae penned some manuscripts, not yet published, which aaye fallea into my bands, Tho first paper—in Lec’s handwriting like the rest which I shall quote trom— deals with that period of Mormon history which yp teded the adventof the Saintsin Utah, Brigham Young has denied the existence of Danites, or Destroy- ing Angels or any organization similar to them 1m con- acction with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Let us observe Li specific testimony against dhat denial: — LER’S TESTIMONY. “Before reciting these facts,” Lee writes, “allow me to say that I have sulfered isnprisonment for two years, 4 portion of the time fettered with chains before I could get the consent of my conscience to come out und tell what i know. Even then I could not have done so if ouF leaders had proven true to the sacred trust committed to them and me, An old adage bas it that what is sauce for the goose 1s sauce for the gan- der, It my superiors can betray their trust and sucri- stice my iite through tulsehood then there cannot be much harm in my telling all I know. 1 am fully con- vinced now that corruption is at the bottom of the Mormon religion; that it is only a wicked scheme to lull people to sleep im carnal security, the betier to en- slave them, and alter robbing them to sacrifice and sond them ‘cross lots to hell,’ to use Brigham Young's OWN expressive lunguage, Under his direction the Mormon people have cut asunder every sacred chord of Jove and tie of friendship and humanily. He has broken every bond by which a people can be bound sogetber, and | now feel {rec to speak and tell what L know. Ip fact, 1 feel it my imperative duty to aid ia bringing to 'ight the damnable secrots and acts of cor- ruption which’have come to wy knowledge, and to en- douvor to correct the abuses entailed upon the peuple by spiritual wickedness fn high places, “1 begin my barrauive with the year 1844 In that year, nt Nauvov, a police force of lorty men wus organized to guard the cliy, but more especially to guard the Prophet and leading men in the Church, I belonged tu that guard, und was the geventh man chosen, My first post was at the Prophet Josepu’s mansion; alter bis death I was assigned to guard Brigham Young, This guard to which 1 belonged was sworn to secrecy, aud to put out of the way every sus. picious person whomsoever. Avy one who dared to throuten the life of Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, or avy leading mau of the Church, was marked for jaughter, When a certain job was arranged to bo dove by one or more of the guard the mon designuted to do the job were prohibited trom asking any ques- tions as to ils justice or legality. 11 it was to kill a man, to rov w house, or to do anything else, no ques- tions were to be asked why or wherefore; the only assurance given to Us wax that the Chiel of Youce would order wo man killed uuiess he ought to be ed, We were ied with maxims such as those:— That the lett band should not kaow what the rghe band aid, We were told (bat whatever we suoula do, the, blame would Hot rest on us, since we bad only (oO ouey our leaders, Jf waytuing’ Wrong Was done onr Jeaders would bear the Whole responsibility, and we Would be celied on tu make Hu atovement Whatever, “Now, suys Lee, mierjocting au judignant outcry {u tue midst of Mis Hareative, see what 1 Lave come to by obeying sued counsel!

Lee proceeds ‘Soon alter the death of Joseph Smith two young men vamed Hodges were brought to trial at Nauvoo for murdering an old man and his wife and then rob bing them, The circumstsnces were such as to impli+ cate Brigham Young. In fact, two cider brothers of the murderers, named Amos and Urvine, were very free spoken ubout the affair indeed, Thoy said Brigham Youvog wa the man who caused their brothers to get imto that trouble, and threatened that if he deserted them, by the Eternal bis blood should atone fcr it, This was a fatal threat, Seon alter dark that same evening Urvine Hodges was met on his way home by two ol the police, by whom he was kuocked down and stabbed four times in the lett breast. He rose bleeding and ran to and fell withinn few feet of Brigharo Young’s gate, There, lyimg prostrate, he cried to Brigham Young, entreating him to conv out and lay hands on bim, But Brigham Young was not near; ho was at my house when tho deed was done, as ho bad often been before when simiiar murders were tobe co mitted, 1 went home with him tht night, as I was oo duty as guard, We came upon the dead mau, Ido not recollect the precise remark of Brigham Young us we passed along, bat it was in substance this:-—‘It is no worse for Holiges to die than it would be for me.’”” AVASGING THE PROPULETS. 8 to Si “Four of the police—Ed.

LEE A BANATIC. Lee's behavior on the scene of the massacre and his subsequent temeanor While lying under sentence of death vividly ailustrate two phases in the life of an inveterate Mormon. Everything goes \o show that Lee, who led the drst assauit of the Indians upon the igrants, acted under @ profound belie! thut he was serving the Church and pleasing its Prophet. Nothin im history is more impressive thun the desperate di termination of Jee, alter he hud once imbrued hi hands in the blood of the emigrants, to finish them up so thoroughly that no trace of their fate should» ever out into the world, His determination to kill, kill, Kili, outran the terocity of bis superiors and 1n- feriors ulike. One ghastly tucident of the massacre will illustrate the cruel pertinacity of the man.
