Courtroom Comedy! Joseph Noble’s Temple Lot Testimony, Part 1

In the late 1800s, the LDS Church tried to prove in court that Joseph Smith was a polygamist. It didn’t go very well. Here I present the highlights of the first day of the testimony of Joseph Noble, the only source for Joseph Smith’s alleged marriage to Louisa Beeman. It’s so bad that it’s funny—at least I found it so. I hope you agree. Stay tuned for part 2!

NOTICE: I saw several complaints about the original version being too quiet. So I deleted that, bumped up the volume, and reuploaded. I hope this one can be more easily enjoyed.
