to know I testify that neither Mr. Smith, nor any other Mormon has the least prospect for justice or to receive a fair & impartial trial in the State of . If tried at all they must be tried by authorities of who have trampled all law under their feet and who have assisted in committing murder, robbery treason, , rape, & felony— and who have made a law of banishment contrary to the laws of all nations; and executed this barbarous law with the utmost rigor & severity— therefore Mr. Smith & the Mormons generally have suffered the end of the law, of which they had no choice & therefore the State of has no further claim whatever upon any of them— I further more testify that the authorities of other States who would assist to wreak further vengeance upon any individuals of the persecuted Mormons are either ignorantly or wilfully aiding & abetting in all these crimes.
