Q. “Then it is a fact, Mrs. [Zina] Young, is it not, that you married Mr. Smith at the same time you were married to Mr. [Henry] Jacobs?”

A. “What right have you to ask such questions? I was sealed to Joseph Smith for eternity.”

Q. “Mrs. Young, you claim, I believe, that you were not married to him for time?”

A. “For eternity. I was married to Mr. Jacobs, but the marriage was unhappy and we parted.”…

Q. “I presume you are aware of the fact that it is claimed by your church that the marriage with Mr. Jacobs was not an agreeable one.”

A. “That is true.” . . .

Q. “It is a fact then, Mrs. Young, that Joseph was not married to you only in the sense of being sealed for eternity?”

A. “As his wife for time and eternity.”

Q. “Mrs. Young, you have answered that question in two ways; for time, and for time and eternity.”

A. “I meant for eternity.”
