Martin was in the office when I finished setting up the testimony of the three witnesses,- ( Harris- Cowdery and Whitmer- ) I said to him,- " Martin,did you see those plates with your naked eyes ?" Martin looked down for an instant, raised his eyes up, and said, " No, I saw them with a spiritual eye."
