by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Jr. Joseph Smith

Footnotes:

[1]. Joseph Smith, the father of the prophet, died on September 14th, 1840, and hence at the time these warrants were issued against the prophet in June, 1843, he was no longer Joseph Smith, Junior, but Joseph Smith, Senior.

[2]. For explanation of how it was that the militia was under direction of the Judge, a civil officer, see testimony of Sidney Rigdon.

[3]. The above now celebrated "Exterminating order" is copied from the collection of Documents published by order of the "General Assembly" of Missouri (the state legislature), 1841.
