[Sidenote: Course of Wm. E. McLellin and Burr Riggs.]
During our trial William E. McLellin, accompanied by Burr Riggs and
others, at times were busy in plundering and robbing the houses of
Sidney Rigdon, George Morey, the widow Phebe Ann Patten, and others,
under pretense or color of law, on an order from General Clark, as
testified to by the members of the different families robbed. [6]

"Mormons" and a like committee on the part of the citizens of Daviess

following propositions by the "Mormon" committee were made and agreed
to by the Daviess county committee:
First--That the Mormon committee be allowed to employ, say twenty
teamsters for the purpose of hauling off their property.
Second--That the Mormon committee collect whatever stock they may
have in Daviess county at some point, and some two or three of the

examining said stock, and convey or attend the Mormon committee out
of the limits of the county; and it is further understood, that
the Mormon committee is not to drive or take from this county any
stock of any description, at any other time, nor under any other
