'' Those who could listen between the words began to suspect that the souls of such apostates had been duly saved . Yet one apostate the very next day was rash enough to controvert the Bishop 's views . To a group of men in the public street at high noon and in a loud voice he declared his intention of leaving for California , and he spoke evil of the Church . `` I tell you , '' he said , in tones of some excitement , `` men are murdered here . Their murder is planned by Bishops , Priests , Elders , and Apostles , by the President and his Counsellors , and then it is done by men they send to do it . Their laying it on to the Indians do n't fool me a minute .
