It was on this day in 1844 Joseph Smith Jr. and his brother were murdered while in a county jail in western Illinois. The Mormons had founded the town of Nauvoo about five years previously, after being driven out of Missouri. Smith, who was mayor at the time, had ordered the destruction of a local newspaper’s printing press after their debut edition was highly critical of his leadership of both the church and the city. This resulted in outrages through out the state, and arrest warrants were issued for Smith and members of his city council. Joseph at first reacted by declaring martial law and calling out the 5,000 man city militia, but decided to surrender after being given personal assurances about his safety from the Governor. The men all traveled to the county seat of Carthage to turn themselves in on the charges of inciting riot. Most of them made bail that same afternoon, but Joseph and his brother Hyrum were also charged with treason and were ordered held until trial. It was the very next day that a mob of about 200 men attacked the jail and shot the prisoners to death.
