Notwithstanding the letter of Judge Waxitvdra

ATROCIOUS OCTRI.OE-MURBER ,BY THE

who arc 'tinder the government, of the proph
et Strting,-errKing 'Strang—one of the great
est villains that the Onion contains:—
The miscreants who have gathered them
selves together upon Bower Island, under
the title of Mormons, are making rapid and
sure pokrgs, in the degrees of criine which
lead from adultery, theft,arsonand robbery,
to deliberate Mart
1 It will be recollect6d b.y our l rea4ers that
we piiblishefl during the 'past winter, several
comulnnteaticas froth 'the island, among
width Was one friviti'!4 'fhb particulars of 'the
[l:mining of the divelling-shouses of two 'Men
;by 'the natne'ef Pbtinett. These Bennets are
not Mormons, nor have they evsh- been ; they
happened to 'be residents of the islands, and
to be'owners of property thiire,:and were men
df good character and deport vent. Strang,
who 'has been in Detroit and is prefer
eat-itm indictments, has icing soeg,rlit, the thin
orthese Men, as well as that of othet " Gen

drive 'then] 'from the igiand, - ilead or alive,"
had 'been so often repented as to excite no
apprehension, until.the burning pc their hous

event the inhabitants of the island not Nlor
inons,bave kept a close and -constant watch
upon their houses and property.
The conditions upon which Strang oVed
immunity to these persons 'was, thatthey
should become Mormons, and yield them
selves up to be governed 'by Mm'iaon laws.
Not seeing fit to comply with thit revolting
alternative, these "Vvelitile.s" have been con

ways ; at times by mock .litigation, and -at

week, when they assembled together to the
number of fifty or more, and proceeded to
. - dwelling-1)04 , e of Thomas Bennett, arm
ed with rilles, pistols, knives. Sre., and bear
ing, as they said. a Mormon precept, author
izing them to seize his person and take his
property. Upon their -approach, Bennet
closediiis doors aninst them, telling them
not, to enter ; upon which they fired some 40*
shots into the house, the effect of which waa
to drive T. Bennett l'6rtit to see,k safety*
Slight ; but when he, had 6itied a few rods,
he fell dead, pierced by 5- rifle balls and forty
.buck-shot.
They nest pursued the 'other Bennet who
fled instinctively; but after pine a few rods;
remembered f the condition of his poor wife.
(who was alone in the house,) and returned
to receive their shot =just as he crossed- the
threshold. His hand was cut into by. the
shot, and the wound may not be mortal.—
The fiends then took the dead body of T.
Bennett, and dragging it by the hair of the
head to the boat, threw it in, and compelled-
Samuel Bennett, the wounded 'man to fol
loW and tit down by it.; they then drove the
Ai:graded Woman after them into tlo,,boat
and took them a distance of five miles46-the,
harbor, where they held a post morienz ilx
amination on the body of Thomas Bennet,
with a Jury composed of Mormons,Wilii the
txception of three persons, who Were " gen

nett tame to his death while resisting tW .

inons decided that liennett was deliberately
murdered. A fearful excitement :prevailed
towards the miscreant Mormons among the
Indians on the island, who hate and fear
them, as well as. among 'the white, popula
