President of the Twelve, then affiant
Marsh left the church on 19 October 1838, the day after Gallatin burned, and five days later swore an affidavit describing the Danite organization, the burning of Gallatin, a "destroying company," and Smith's alleged ambition to "take the State." Orson Hyde attested it. The affidavit reached Boggs and was among the documents that produced the extermination order.
