About this time Martin Harris made his appearance upon the stage; .and Smith began to interpret the characters or hieroglyphics, which he said were eligraven upon the plates while Harris wrote down the interpretation. It was said that II:Il'l‘lS wrote down one hundred and sixteen panes and lost them. Soon after this happened, Martin llarrisriulbrui- ed me that he must have a grmter witness, and said that he had talked wuh Joseph about it ; Joseph informed him that he could not or durst not show him the plates, lint that he (Joseph) would go into the woods where the book ot'plates was, and that after he came back Harris should follow his track in the snow, and find the book, and examine it for: himself. Harris informed me afterwards that he followed Smith’s directions, and could not find the plates and was still dissatisfied. - ' ’ '

“ l'he next day after this happened, I went to the house where Joseph Smith,juu. lived, and where he and Harris were engaged in their translation of the book. Each of them had a written piece ol paper, which they were con» paring, and some ofthe words were, “ My servant seeketli a greater Witness, but no greater witness can be gii’en to him.” lhere was also something said about “three that were to see the thing ;” meaning, I supposed, the book of pluteS' and that “ if the three did not goexactlv accordingto orders: the thing would be taken from Illell‘li” l inquired whose words they were; and was informed by Joseph or Emma (l ratliel'think it was the former), that iliey were the words ol Jesus Christ. I told them then that lconsidered the whole ofita tlelusion,ai.d advised them to abandon it. The manner in which he pretended to read aiitl interpret was the same as when he looked for the money diggers, with the stone in his hat, and his hat over his face, while the book of
