Excerpt from ‘William Clayton An Intimate Chronicle: The Journals of William Clayton’, Pg. 223: ¹

“Elder John Taylor confirmed the saying that Joseph and Hyrum and himself were without their robes [garments] in the jail at Carthage, while Doctor Richards had his on, but corrected the idea that some had, that they had taken them off through fear. W. W. Phelps said Joseph told him one day about that time, that he had laid aside his garment on account of the hot weather.”
