William Smith (1883): "The manner in which this was done was by looking into the Urim and Thummim, which was placed in a hat"

William Smith:

He translated them by means of the Urim and Thummim, (which he obtained with the plates), and the power of God. The manner in which this was done was by looking into the Urim and Thummim, which was placed in a hat to exclude the light, (the plates lying near by covered up), and reading off the translation, which appeared in the stone by the power of God.[1]
