Excerpt from History of the Mountain Meadows Massacre: Or the Butchery in Cold Blood of 134 Men, Women and Children by Mormons and Indians, September, 1857, Also a Full and Complete Account of the Trial, Confession and Execution of John D. Lee The trial came on. At immense trouble and expense the prosecution had obtained evidence sufficient to convict. Every impediment which Mormon ingenuity could devise was thrown in the way to obstruct, mislead, and even intimidate the officers of the law. When our children write history no men will receive greater credit than the pioneer Gen tile Judges, lawyers, and United States Marshals of Utah.

Of course Lee accepted as many of the designated jurymen as possible. Half the re cult of that first trial is known; it is, the jury disagreed. The vital half, however, is, that the Marshals and witnesses, the able attorneys for the prosecution, and most of all, the press of America, fastened the crime so conclusively upon Lee, Haight, Higbee, Dame, White, Stewart and those far greater than these - that the Mormon leaders concluded some one must be sacrificed to save the church.
