Esq. contisced allowing eighteen according to milit Just imagine, gentlemen, the nr rule eommander standing in me uuuuie ci are, making that in wn to fire the hearts that speech c'linn and raising Lis voice to of the all tbe"eo!dters" llut so the highest pi;ch Don t vou mint ne pot iiim Thi., gentlemen, is no fancy hoarse? The prosecution have mi ne of picture 'ooveyed the idea tliat there were bo that it became necesmany men preseut D. Lee to put them Johu for sary and through these military evolution in ftieiu hollow order a into square, form that they might hear what was said. nt unfortunately this theory has one defect, and that is, it is not true. Joel White says that no hollow squure was forraed.and he is corroborated by Young, Pierce and Pollock; "Who are all'wltness-cAnd thus again far the prosecution. and Hickman of Klingensmith (he plot failed to get witnesses to corroborate the chief perjurer Id this raee. .) Now, gentlemen, no hollow square having been formed, you may safely contlude that na speech was made. 'The' whole is a fabrication to support the etateuientmade n by Klingensmith that (he plan of decoy-iof their out the emigrants stronghold had been laid at Celar City, and that Lee as eommander was to lay this plan before the "troops," which according to Klingensmith' 8 testimony he did iu the Now, gentlemen, in hollow square " reference to this statement, I am convinced that you have come to the same conclusion as I have, that Klingensmith has added another stain, I bat f perjury, to his already blackened soul. Klingensmith sticks with great tenacity to the d statement that Johu D. Lee was in of the "troops"' at the Meadows. I'.ut, if he was in command, what order ' What command did he did he issue? When gWe? Klingensmith was asked on what order was or what command given by Lee, ke answered, "I never heard or; knew of Lee, upon the field at Mountain Meadows, or at any other place, issuing an order or giving a command." Now that being so, could Lee have been in command, as Mated by Klingensmith in his direct examination? The whole, gentlemen, is a baseless fabrication and conspiracy, as before stated, gotten up for the purpose f convicting the defendant at the bar and to save the worthless neck of thai villain, Klingensmith. Klingensmith next goes on to state that, while l be "troops" were Handing in the "hollow square," the command was given to march, and they then marched in double file from the cimp to the vicinity of the corral atthe Meadows, under the command of Higbee. Joel V'hiteeayg, that they jnarebed in tingle file. But 1'olloct, oung and, Pie,ree all agree in their testimony that no orders were given to inarch, no order was given to fall into line, and that all' those who did go, went of tbelr.own, accord and without any regard to order. , These discrepancies, geutlemen. may seem unimportant, but when a witness comes upon ' the stand who confesses himself to be an accomplice in one of the most damnable crimes ever recorded ia the annals of a civilized community, and who has a theory wbiclt be attempts to carry out in his testimony, it ig of the greatest importance that he should be erroborated by credible 'witnesses before his evidence is entitled to consider aiioa, and not contradicted, especially by the witnesses for the prosecution, as this man has been. Next, Klingensmith. states, in his . that one Cateman as sent to the emigrants camp with a tUg of truce for the avowed purpose of cvrying out the "treaty." He does not ate what treaty he had reference to, out leaves it, so far as the evidence is concerned, to conjecture. But we "at the treaty referred to was this say it iu a treaty previously betupon agreed ween the eititens and the Indians, the conditions of which were, that if the aHrnts would agree' to deliver their Juries and cattle to the Indians, then 7 agreed to cease their hostilities and let the emigrants pass !thout further molestatioa. After the 'eturn of Bateman, Lee was scat lo the Migrant's corralto carry into effect, ia JM faith, this treaty. The Indians, as f supposed, had previously withdrawn, took two wagons ,wUh hhniot ike r.wpose of carryiag the children,' the ck nj tnose who jja(j beeo wounjej '1 the several attacks made by ' the a- ' ' w, to Cedar City! Klingensmith states that Lee with the wagons went immediately la'fronl or the emigrants as thtsj come out t)f the the woraen n,xl t0 the wagons, i! k Df the men in the rear. On he stated that the followed exaotly in .the, track of d shows fcJftg0MB- - But White 'J diagram also, tha,t the emigrants " nt follow in their track, but. came Ul on the road a considerable distance trrom where the wagonj first struck klingensmith says also that th,eol-lilr,?n- d eiu5Eran, marched iu parallel .r Uo hundred yards; and t the yrd ohal.r which had been previeu,ly jreea upon as the command to ."fire!; thai. T,0p9'" carrJ'n8 their guns acrosr. twelve fret square, s com-man- ed i a single shot, "except the one fired by White, denies KUngenstnith , himself. and says himself, having fired a shot that he did not see any other white man fire. Klingensmith not only acknowledges having fired his gun, but states that he was particular to take aim, and was Bure he brought down his man. this confession, and Notwithstanding the fact that.be stands notwithstanding before you a elearl proven perjurer, he wants to make' you telieve that be was an exemplary man, and that his bosom was all but overflowing with the "milk of human kindness." Klingensmith states that he marched atthe head of the column, which was marching parallel with the emigrants. White says, be himself was at the rear end of the column, and that the column did not inarch parallel with, but in the rear of the emigrants; and that the Indians came rushingdown in overwhelming numbers, upon the emigrants, slaughtering men,' women and children. Now, therefore, ia it not a reasonable inference and in fact the only rational conclusion at which we can arrive, that the Indians were the only ones that fired, with the exception of Klingensmith? Another theory of the prosecution is, that Lee incited the Indians to massacre the emigrants. There is not one word or syllable of testimony to substantiate this, except what Klingensmith says; which is, that Ilaight or some one else told him such was the case. While at the Mountain Meadows Smith says that the Indians were under the control of Carl Shirts, and that Higbee bad com mand of the 'troops. Lay aside the of testimony Klingensmith, which I think I have conclusively shown is un worthy of your serious consideration, and what testimony have we left that reflects upon John 1) Lee? None what ever. 'When his statement is stripped of all the inconsistencies and contradiction with which it it is clothed, there is nothing left but a deformed, limbless and hideous skeleton. Gentlemen of the jury, look at this man Klingensmith, and say if villain, coward, murderer and assassin are not written upon every line and lineament of his features? Not even old age, and the soothing influences of time, with its gentle tread, can stamp out or efface the damning marks of crime upon his vilHe stands before lainous countenance. you proven to. be a perjurer, a confessed He stands before you, gentle assassin. men, a confessed mcral coward, and Gad hates a coward.' Klingensmith confessed himself a coward and hated of GoJ whon he said he did not have the moral courage and manhood to raise his voice to stay the hand of the slayer, but, as stated by himself, voluntarily imbrued his hands in the blood of over one hundred innocent victims, men, women, and children. I ask you, gentlemen, hew much credit is due the statement of uch a man? Do you, for a moment believe , any of his evidence? Don't you feel morally certain in your own minds that .he has lied? Villain vand perjurer are tco prominently stamped upon his every feature, for you to believe him, I am sure. Did he impress a man of you that ho, was telling the truth? Ne, gentlemen. When you come to look over his testimony and weigh it coolly "and dispassionately in your minds, can, you say it is true? I can't think it possible that you can. Can you say from the evidence that John I). Dee is guilty of the offence witb which he is charged? Don't it raise a doubt in yeur minds of His guilt? Test this evidence in the crucible of reason and I am sure you will arrive at the same conclusion that I have about Klingensmith, who, on the witness stand, acknowledged himself to be a cold blooded murderer and assassin, that he is unworthy of belief. from the circumstances already enumerated and which tend to show that Klingensmith is unworthy of belief, there is another circumstance of a more con vincing nature and which I only need to call your attention to in order to impress on your minds that he is utterly unworthy of belief, exoept he is corroborated I bow allude to by credible witnesses. the price at which he is brought here to ' ;, .
