Miller."

The marshal was a deal nettled, and, turning, he said to Miller:

"I am much obliged to you."

"You are quite welcome. I hope you will pay my bill as you agreed
to do."

"Why did you deceive me?"

"I did not," replied Miller; "you deceived yourself. I said
nothing to deceive you."

"All right," replied the marshal, "I will settle your bill, and
you may return in the morning, if you choose."

This gave Brigham to understand that it was time for him to get
away; many such tricks would not be wholesome.

In the Temple I took three wives - Martha Berry, Polly Ann
Workman, and Delithea Morris, and had my family sealed to me over
the altar in the Temple, and six of them received their second
anointings - that is, the first six wives did, but the last three
there was not time to attend to.

On the 10th of February, 1846, Brigham and a small company
crossed the Mississippi River, on the ice, into Iowa, and formed
an encampment on a stream called Sugar Creek. I crossed, with two
wagons, with the first company. Brigham did this in order to

the wagons, with Louisa, her sister, as far as Rainsville. All of
Brigham's wives, except the first, were taken by the brethren, as
he did not at that time have the teams or the means to convey his
family across the plains, but was dependent on the brethren for
help, though he had used every means in his power to raise an
outfit.

Brigham called a council of the leading men. Among them was
Brother Joseph L. Heywood and myself. Heywood was a merchant at
Quincy, Illinois, doing a fair business before he joined the
Mormon Church, and was considered an honorable man. When the
Mormons were driven from Missouri many had occasion to bless him
for his kindness to them in their hour of trouble.

At the council, after some conversation upon our present move,
Brigham proposed to appoint a committee of men, against whom no
charges could be brought, to return to Nauvoo and attend to

people and starting them forward. He proposed that I, with
