Excerpt from The Rise, Progress and Travels of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: Being a Series of Answers to Questions, Including the Revelation on Celestial Marriage, and a Brief Account of the Settlement of Salt Lake Valley Governor Ford then disbanded all his troops except the "Carthage Greys," who were known to possess the most violent feelings of hatred against Joseph and Hyrum Smith, and after holding a private council on the subject, he left them to their fate. Massacre Of Joseph And Hyrum Smith. On the 27th of June, 1844, about 150 men, with their faces blackened, surrounded the prison and deliberately murdered Joseph and Hyrum Smith, leaving Elder John Taylor severely wounded with four balls, Elder Willard Richards, who was in the same room, escaped unhurt. At the fall term of court, bills of indictment for murder in the first degree, were found against the principal leaders in the massacre; but they were allowed to go at large on bail and to become each other´s security, the sum required being only one thousand dollars. In May, 1845, they had a sham trial and were acquitted, although the most of the members of the court, bar, jury and witnesses knew them to be guilty of the murder. The Twelve Apostles, being the first quorum remaining in the Church, immediately returned from their missions abroad, and by the unanimous voice of the Saints took their position at the head of affairs in Nauvoo, Brigham Young, President of the Twelve Apostles, presiding. A revelation had been given through Joseph Smith in 1841, commanding the Saints to build a Temple in which to administer the ordinances of the gospel; also to build a house to be called "The Nauvoo House," for the entertainment of strangers, and a sufficient time was granted for the completion of this work which would be acceptable only in the day of their poverty, in order that they might prove themselves faithful in all things that they were commanded; nevertheless the Lord said: "Verily, verily I say unto you, that when I give a commandment to any of the sons of men to do a work unto my name, and those sons of men go with all their might and with all they have to perform that work, and cease not their diligence, and their enemies come upon them and hinder them from performing that work, behold it behooveth me to require that work no more at the hands of those sons of men, but to accept of their offerings, and the iniquity and transgression of my holy laws and commandments I will visit upon the heads of those who hindered my work, unto the third and fourth generation, so long as they repent not, and hate me, saith the Lord God. Therefore, for this cause have I accepted the offerings of those whom I commanded to build up a city and a house unto my name, in Jackson County, Missouri, and were hindered by their enemies, saith the Lord your God; and I will answer judgment, wrath and indignation, wailing and anguish, and gnashing of teeth upon their heads unto the third and fourth generation, so long as they repent not and hate me, saith the Lord your God." "And this I make an example unto you, for your consolation, concerning all those who have been commanded to do a work and have been hindered by the hands of their enemies and by oppression, saith the Lord your God; for I am the Lord your God, and will save all those of your brethren who have been pure in heart and have been slain in the land of Missouri, saith the Lord." In view of fulfilling this Revelation, the Twelve pushed forward the building of the Temple, which at the time of the Prophet´s death was about one half story above the basement.
