An inves- One page carries the signature Martin Harris' at the bottom, he said Walters said he mentioned the document in passing during a conversation last Monday with an investigator from Salt Lake City, who had called him about another aspect of the Hofmann case. Dean Jessee, who teaches history at Brigham Young University, told the Democrat and Chronicle, "There isn't very much Martin Harris handwriting, outside the 1830 letter that everybody's talking about." referring to the Salamander Letter Jessee said he was unfamiliar with the document seized in Palmyra. "It's just another piece of memorabilia that's been passed on. It's never been important." said John Baynes, president of the Kings Daughters Free Library Board of Trustees. "Nobody ever had a reason to look at it closely. We don't know where we got it, or who gave it to us." Police say Hofmann sold the Salamander Letter to Christensen, who presented it lo the church as a gift. The letter, apparently written by Harris to Canandaigua, N.Y., newspaper editor W.W. Phelps, says Smith encountered an 'old spirit' that transformed itself into a white salamander and prevented him from obtaining the golden plates that Mormons regard as the source for the Book of Mormon, which the church accepts as scripture. According to the church, an angel named Moroni gave the plates to Smith. Church critics have said the letter, if authentic, undermines Mormon beliefs because of its suggestion that Smith dabbled in folk magic. The Mormons have called it "an interesting document," and made no judgment on its genuineness, said Don spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints in Salt Lake City. e, y Sons of Norway Will Install President Asgeir G.

The investigator. Sgt. Michael George, served a subpoena Friday on officials of Kings Daughters Free Library in the western New York town of Palmyra. According to a researcher, the document George sought contains the signature of Marlin Harris, an associate of church founder Joseph Smith of Palmyra Some critics contend that the Salamander letter, which was sold by historic documents dealer Mark Hofmann for $40,000, is a forgery. Hofmann is a chief suspect in the Oct. 15 bombings that killed Steven F. Christensen, 31, and Kathleen Sheets, 50, in Salt Lake City. George declined to discuss the document or his department's reasons for seizing it. But Wesley Walters, a Presbyterian minister in southern Illinois, said a telephone interview with the Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat and Chronicle that he read the document while doing research on the Mormons in the Palmyra library last fall. Walters said the document recorded the business dealings of Thomas Lakey, a justice of the peace who bought Martin Harris' farm when Harris left Palmyra in 1831. ers Single only All Please send me copies of the 1986 World Almanac.
