subject date: 2004-03-11

caption: MORMONS On June 27, 1844, an angry mob attacked the Carthage Jail in Illinois, where Joseph Smith (December 23, 1805 – June 27, 1844), founder and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was being held awaiting trial on charges of destroying a rival newspaper, inciting an armed rebellion, and high treason against the state of Illinois. He was being held in a room on the first floor with an open door and windows, with no defense against the assailants; in an attempt to save himself by jumping out of the window, he was shot by his opponents who were waiting for him in the street, and fell to his death. Engraving, United States of America, 19th century.
