Higbee v. Smith: The case was based again on a complaint for slander arising out of Joseph Smith's statements to the Nauvoo City Council on January 5. Joseph Smith allegedly claimed Higbee was guilty of theft, fornication, adultery, and perjury, was a whoremaster, and possessed venereal disease. He "forbid" women from associating with Higbee. Much like the case filed on May 1 and dismissed May 8, 1844, on habeas corpus. The case was transferred on August 14, 1844, to McDonough County and later dismissed there at the plaintiff's cost.
