An Independence, MO citizens committee meeting voted to destroy the press of The Evening and Morning Star (A. S. Gilbert (store owner), Edward Partridge, Isaac Morley, John Corrill, William W. Phelps, and John Whitmer were present). The press was destroyed by the mob and Edward Partridge and Charles Allen were tarred and feathered and ordered to leave Independence (were living in house rented from Lilburn W. Boggs).
