In court...

Open Item Title: 
Carthage, Illinois
Open Item Text: 

In court, Joseph Smith moved for a change of venue on the charge of treason brought against him. The motion was denied, and the case was continued until noon the next day, allowing time to bring witnesses to Carthage. Joseph and Hyrum were then taken back to jail, where they had an extensive interview with Illinois Governor Thomas Ford, who promised protection to him and the other prisoners. The hearing was changed to June 29, apparently without consulting the defendants.
