on the other side of the vail. But the brethren
do not know it, for none see them but you."
At this moment the soldiers came and began
to th take the brethren and lead them on the
sidewalk in front of the stores and before the
instruments above attended to. I soon began to
hear the cries and groans of agony of the brethren
and thought I would take a walk eastward
towards the theatre to see what was going on in
another part of the city. As I turned the corner of
the theatre I found the streets filled with gropups of
gentiles. Fences were broken down and people were
standing in the lots the same as in the streets.
When I arrived at the Gardeau house I saw
a large prison standing in place thereof. The
corner facing the street corner was of octagon
shape with a large door some 8 or 10 feet above ground
without steps leading thereto. I was [saw] an iron door
with visible one inch square headed both from
top to bottom fastened in diamond shape. Whilst
looking at this door, a stout heavy built man
opened it from within and stood on the threshhold
and said these words: They are just doing right, to
kill these damn Mormons, damn them, they ought
to be killed every last one of them. Some of my
family have been silly enough to join them and if
they kill them, damn them, serves them right.
They preach of a resurrection and a hereafter.
I believe when a man is dead, he is done with,
and to hell with him." At the same time
turning about and slamming the door behind him.
