[David O. McKay] Considered evidence against Bro[ther] M[atthias]. F. Cowley, who, it is alleged, has recently encouraged clandestine plural marriages.
No definite action taken.
Excommunicated John W. Woolley for having performed such marriages. Poor man! he was deceived, and is now almost broken-hearted.

"But behold this my joy was vain, for their sorrowing was not unto repentance, because of the goodness of God; but it was rather the sorrowing of the damned, because the Lord would not always suffer them to take happiness in sin." (Mormon 2:13).
