All taken by myself from the Store of on Mulholland Street, on 23rd.

Have no Wife nor any person to keep house but my little Girls. live in a part of the house that the prosecutor lives in. Only a partition Wall between us. got flannel made into Shirts by Mrs. Roberts. the reason I took the Goods was because I was out of Clothing. did not intend to sell them, had not made up my mind. intended to use them for myself. no teachings were ever received by me from the Church of Latterday Saints, to induce or influence me to steal these goods.
