there has been no abuse of confidence mr jacks where bouts are now known at pasadena california he will be communicate elvith 1 with ho has never been served w with ith ceRi mr williams we think he has mr young A we did all we agreed to do and if you would wait a reasonable time you would woud lose nothing by it I 1 will advise mr jack to come mr williams he is the man that does the business clr the church and is bound as its representative by the iho courts order if he was sent far by vou he would come I 1 i mr young we have done as we vre agreed to and your statement that confidence has

oV illiams well he knew that such an order was coming mr McKen he did not as aa I 1 klow kaow from remarks made by him he had bad been contemplating the trip for it ii i i dot au to dod dodge M e anything he received no notice before ha be left mr dyer wh 3 is the next in antho authority tho rity higher to mr jack mr mckenzie the president of the church mr young I 1 feel certain the receiver would not be justified by the court in taking the books under protest I 1 woul i give up all books stocks or property as soon as it can be done but not tho the records nor the th books in the presidents edits office since march mr williams mr jack could be got here by men who be are now on the underground there is nobody here it seems to take any responsibility ibi lity the apostles of the church are parties to the suit they should ither either hand over these thiers or refuse to do so mr young abey say they have not got them M r jack cant give you the books since 1852 ile he dasent got them mr williams Willi ants they are arc some where or have been a destroyed ant ana we want them I 1 mr young you will genall get all you are arc entitled to at as far as I 1 pirn concerned we will n not bt resist the court mr williams ob I 1 dont doubt that sofa so far r as you aro are concerned but I 1 think these people jwill will not it looks to me that the marshal will vill have to come and take this property J mr young that safe wilL hot I 1 be moved till Mr jack codis comes if it is the church safe you can take it you will have to take the books under protest we will not surrender them volun ai mr williams well why dont you refuse mr young because not resist tho courts order A mr williams well surrender them mr young no I 1 will wili not noi yon h have aye no right to them ti under that order you understand exactly how the situation is and it is nat necessary to argue matters any nt jur further Mr Williams mcwilliams well there seems to be nobody here who has bas any thing to do with this property yi or who will answer one way or the other I 1 suppose the marshal must buet come and take possession of it the others seemed to be bb of the same mind and they left soon afterwards berwar ter wards ds however t the he marshal returned and assumed entire control of the office and all papers papers discharging all the clerks sive save mr mckenzie and mr rossitor ros Rossi tir who
