Apostle, and U.S. Senator, Reed Smoot's 25-year-old personal secretary, Carl A. Badger writes: "I believe, that we all feel that the case is much more serious than it was ever thought it would be. . . . " The Senate investigation on seating Smoot has just begun and lasts for three more years. Concerning Church President Joseph F. Smith's recent testimony before the committee Badger writes: "The admissions made by President Smith have aroused great newspaper indignation, . . ." President Smith had admitted to continuing to live with his plural wives after the manifesto in violation of both the laws of the land and of the church.

Andrew Jensen writes in his diary about Apostle Lyman's testimony, "He seemed to get confused and his answers, especially his answers or endeavors to explain revelation."
