[In 1859,] Young, Lyman, and Smith elaborated on doctrine emphasizing peace and brotherly love, and decried the shedding of blood...[Young] again sent Smith and Lyman south, this time to urge the accused to prepare for trial and to try and suppress Mormon-authored crimes. The two apostles spoke in various cities, denouncing murder, blood atonement, and the stealing of gentile property. They preached against blood atonement, and, based on the fact that George Smith was very close to Young, they may have reflected Young's changing views on blood atonement, even though the church leadership did not officially repudiate the doctrine until 1889.
