Evаluаte а histоrical sоurce: One mоnth after the martyrdom of Joseph Smith, Willard Richards published in the Church’s Nauvoo newspaper, Times and Seasons, an account of the event titled “Two Minutes in Jail.” Below is an excerpt from that article. After recounting when Hyrum Smith was shot in the face, Elder Richards wrote: Joseph looked towards him, and responded, “O dear! Brother Hyrum!” and opening the door two or three inches with his left hand, discharged one barrel of a six shooter (pistol) at random in the entry. . . . Joseph continued snapping his revolver, round the casing of the door into the space as before, three barrels of which missed fire, while Mr. Taylor with a walking stick stood by his side and knocked down the bayonets and muskets, which were constantly discharging through the doorway. . . . When the revolver failed, we had no more fire arms, and expecting an immediate rush of the mob, and the door way full of muskets—half way in the room, and no hope but instant death from within: Mr. Taylor rushed into the window [and was shot]. . . . the force of which ball threw him back on the floor, and he rolled under the bed. . . . Joseph attempted as the last resort, to leap the same window from whence Mr. Taylor fell, when two balls pierced him from the door, and one entered his right breast from without, and he fell outward exclaiming, “O Lord my God!” (Willard Richards, “Two Minutes in Jail,” Times and Seasons 5, no. 14 [August 1, 1844]: 598–99.)
