"The next day Elder Baer went to Weiningen and I spent the day with Elder Mayer and the Saints at the meetings. In the evening Elder Baer returned and told us that Bro. Henry Hug, while baptizing on the previous evening, was interrupted by a portion of the mob that had annoyed us. He was smitten on the face and taken before the authorities, first at Weiningen and then at Zurich; and was kept in prison all night. Also that, after I had left Weiningen, the brethren and some of the crowd did some fighting, but there was no one hurt much. Thus the Lord once more delivered us out of the hands of our enemies." Only a few days elapsed after these events before I was summoned to appear before the _Stadthalter_ (mayor) who, by the aid of an interpreter, examined me at considerable length, the substance of which I insert here as complete as possible: QUESTION.--How old are you? ANSWER.--Twenty-six years old. Q.--Where were you born? A.--In Lanark, Scotland. Q.--Did you ever follow any business, if so, what was it? A.--I was engaged at an inn, and afterwards in the boot and shoe business. Q.--Where did you come from to this country? A.--From Cambridge, England. Q.--Were you long in England? A.--About three years and a half. Q.--In what part? A.--In many parts. Q.--Had you property left you? A.--No. Q.--Then you made some money by your business? A.--Yes, while engaged in it.

A.--I came into Switzerland on the last day of September. Q.--Into what part? A.--Geneva. Q.--Are you a believer in the doctrine of the people called Mormons? A.--Yes, sir. Q.--As it is taught in this country? A.--I do not yet understand the language of this country. Q.--But you believe the doctrines? A.--Yes, those that I understand. Q.--Have you taken any active part in Mormonism in this country? A.--Of course not; I have just said I was ignorant of the language. Q.--Do you believe in the plurality of wives as being true? A.--Yes, sir. Q.--Have you taught it to the people here? A.--I cannot convey my thoughts or belief to the people, as I have not mastered the language sufficiently. Q.--Have you any desire that the people here should believe the doctrine of plurality of wives? A.--I would rejoice in knowing that all people believed in the Bible. Q.--Do you believe that the Bible teaches that doctrine?
