CHICAGO, ILL., July 28 – A special to the Times from San Francisco , Cal. , says: “New has been received here that Bishop Philip Klingen Smith , at one time of high standing and influence in the Mormon Church, and the exposer of the Mountain Meadow massacre and a participant therein is dead. His body was found in a prospect hole in Sonora , Mexico , under circumstances indicating murder. Bishop Smi9th has died as he expected. After convicting John D. Lee of the Mountain Meadow massacre, he said: “I know the Church will kill me, sooner or later—it is only a question of time.” After returning from the trial, by order of the Church his wife left him. He then went south and lived in Arizona . In that Territory two attempts were made to kill him.”
