Innuendo about death of Wakara from pneumonia "but perhaps from poison."
Blood atonement is presented as an active teaching, as prelude to the Massacre.
Summary: It is claimed that during the administration of Brigham Young apostates were secretly put to death, and that the teachings of LDS leaders at the time were that apostasy was the unforgivable sin, and that the only thing an apostate could do to redeem himself was to give his own life, willingly or unwillingly.

Blood atonement to be implemented for those guilty of "the unpardonable sin."
