Transcription

. . . he was sitting in their living-room reading, when he heard the front door bang open and looked up to see an unusually tall man come through the door, he was tall enough that he had to stoop to enter,. His eyes were very protuberant and rather wild-looking, his finger-nails were thick and long, he presented a rather unkempt appearance, and wore no clothing at all. He said not a word, but advanced toward Pres. Smith with his hands out-stretched as though to clutch at him. . . . On relating this experience to his brother, Elder Joseph Fielding Smith, a member of the Council of the Twelve, Elder Smith suggested to his brother, E. Wesley Smith, that it could have been Cain, Master Mahan, Father of all Sons of Predition, whose curse it is to roam the earth seeking whom he may destroy."
