Crothers, Jason Manley, Joseph Emerson, and Thomas King found the defendant indebted to the plaintiff for $1,000. The plaintiff was to recover against the defendant $1,000 plus costs. A bill of exceptions was signed by Van R. Humphrey, Daniel Kerr, Storm Rosa, and John Hubbard, stating that Joseph Smith was a director in the "society," and assisted in issuing paper or bills, thus making "him an ‘officer' within the meaning of the statute."
