in & talked a while & I went into the office to see president Young &
I reported to him what we had done in relation to the Presidents of
the seventies & Judge Stiles in cutting him off for Adultery &
President Young approved of what we had done. I met a short
time with the committee on the Judiciary the 5 vol of the U. S.

were applicable to this Territory. President Young toldt me to
go through this city & remove all the stumbling block I could find

visited the 7th ward & removed Bishop Perkins & put in James
