4. The children and the property of the emigrants found in possession of the Mormons, and that possession traced back to the very day after the massacre. 5. The failure of Brigham Young to embody any account of it in his Report as Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Also his failure to make any allusion to it whatever from the pulpit, until several years after the occurrence. 6. The failure of the "Deseret News," the Church organ, and the only paper then published in the Territory, to notice the massacre, until several months afterward, and then only to deny that Mormons were engaged in it. 7. The flight to the mountains of men high in authority in the Mormon Church and State, when this affair was brought to the ordeal of a judicial investigation. 8. The testimony of R. P. Campbell, Capt. 2d Dragoons, who was sent in the spring of 1859 to Santa Clara, to protect travellers on the road to California, and to inquire into Indian depredations. In his report to Major E. J. Potter, Assistant Adjutant-General U. S. Army, dated July 6, 1859, he says:-- "These emigrants were here met by the Mormons (assisted by such of the wretched Indians of the neighborhood as they could force or persuade to join), and massacred, with the exception of such infant children as the Mormons thought too young to remember, or tell of the affair. "The Mormons were led on by John D. Lee, then a high dignitary in the self-styled Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and Isaac Haight, now a dignitary in the same." Again, after relating briefly the massacre, he says:-- "These facts were derived from children who did remember, and could tell of the matter; from Indians, and from the Mormons themselves." 9. The testimony of Hon. J. Forney, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. In his letter to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs at Washington, dated Provo City, U. T., March, 1859, he says:-- "Facts in my possession warrant me in estimating that there was distributed, a few days after the massacre, among the leading church dignitaries, $30,000 worth of property." Again, in another letter to the Commissioner, written from Great Salt Lake City, in August of the same year, he says:-- "From the evidence in my possession, I am justified in the declaration that this massacre was concocted by white men, and consummated by whites and Indians. The names of many of the whites engaged in this terrible affair have already been given to the proper legal authorities. . . . The children were sold out to different persons in Cedar City, Harmony, and Painter Creek. Bills are now in my possession from different individuals, asking payment from the Government. I cannot condescend to become the medium of even transmitting such claims to the Department." The following is from the Annual Report of Superintendent Forney, made in September, 1859:--
