Question: What did C.R. Stafford claim about Joseph Smith in the Hurlbut affidavits?
C.R. Stafford claimed that Joseph Smith told his uncle that he wanted to sacrifice a sheep
(nephew of William Stafford)
- Claimed that "Jo Smith, the prophet, told my uncle, William Stafford, he wanted a fat, black sheep. He said he wanted to cut its throat and make it walk in a circle three times around and it would prevent a pot of money from leaving."
Response to these claims
- This is hearsay; it provides no additional evidence than the original claim made by Stafford's uncle.
