A.--'D. R. Austin came to my house and asked me some questions, took some minutes on paper, and from these minutes wrote that letter.' Q.--'Have you read the Book of Mormon?' A.--'I have read some in it.' Q.--'Does Mr. Spaulding's manuscript and the Book of Mormon agree?' A.--'I think some few of the names are alike.' Q.--'Does the manuscript describe an idolatrous or a religious people?' Q.--'An idolatrous people.' A.--'Where is the manuscript?' A.--'D. P. Hurlburt came here and took it, said he would get it printed and let me have one half of the profits.' Q.--'Has D. P. Hurlburt got the manuscript printed?' A.--'I received a letter stating that it did not read as he expected, and he should not print it.' Q.--'How large is Mr. Spaulding's manuscript?' A.--'About one-third as large as the Book of Mormon.' Q.--To Mrs. McKinstry: 'How old were you when your father wrote the manuscript?' A.--'About five years of age.' Q.--'Did you ever read the manuscript?' A.--'When I was about twelve years old I used to read it for diversion.' Q.--'Did the manuscript describe an idolatrous or a religious people?' A.--'An idolatrous people.' Q.--'Does the manuscript and the Book of Mormon agree?' A.--'I think some of the names agree.' Q.--'Are you certain that some of the names agree?' A.--'I am not.' Q.--'Have you read any in the Book of Mormon?' A.--'I have not.' Q.--'Was your name attached to that letter, which was sent to Mr. John Storrs, by your order?' A.--'No, I never meant that my name should be there.' 'You see by the above questions and answers, that Mr. Austin, in his great zeal to destroy the Latter-day Saints, has asked Mrs. Davison a few questions, then wrote a letter to Mr. Storrs in his own language. I do not say that the above questions and answers were given in the form that I have written them, but these questions were asked, and these answers given. Mrs. Davison is about seventy years of age, and somewhat broke.' "This may certify that I am personally acquainted with Mr. Haven, his son and daughter, and am satisfied they are persons of truth. I have also read Mr. Haven's letter to his daughter, which has induced me to copy it for publication, and I further say, the above is a correct copy of Mr. Haven's letter. A. BADLAM." Notwithstanding the above refutation and _expose_ the opponents of "Mormonism" have continually from the time of its publication, copied, re-published and harped upon this forged affidavit of Mrs. Davison. Their ears have been ever deaf and their eyes blind when the refutation of the slander has been presented to them. They did not then, and do not now want it; they prefer the lie which one of their number has concocted and spread broad-cast through the world.
