the fact of Carters saying that covenant breakers should be
dammed. Joseph Kelly testifyed that on an early acquaintance
with Wm Carter & after he had obtained Cordelia Meakam

subject of sealing and stated that he had obtained favor in
in the eyes of the Lord & with his servants and that he had adopted
into his family a young and that he had been enved for it,
and how others had covenanted with him and had borken their
covenant, and they were curst and would be till he redeamed

stood from severil sources that you had been teaching
such principles, you denyed it and said that you never
had I then asked you the 2nd time and you still denyed it and
called upon God-- Angels-- and men to witness that you never had
taught any such principles and if you had you wished

Pres Hyde can turned and said when demon did the truth of
Man by the authority of the Preisthood and he told him
a lie it was not an easy thing to be forgiven, and said he
I tell you now what you have got shall be taken from you
nevertheless you may be forgiven, he then called upon Carter

owledgment he wanted him to make, Well well said Pres Hyde
I want you to acknowledge that you told me a hair faced lie,
and what those witnesses have testified to is true, Carter
said that he had no recollection to answering Pres Hyde as
he had stated it, that Pres Hyde must be mistaken,
and that it must be in some other matter.
