73 Now immediately when the judge had been murdered; he being stabbed by his brother by a garb of secrecy; and he fled, and the servants ran and told the people, raising the cry of murder among them.
74 And behold the people did gather themselves together unto the place of the judgment seat: and behold, to their astonishment, they saw those five men who had fallen to the earth.
75 And now behold, the people knew nothing concerning the multitude which had gathered together at the garden of Nephi; therefore they said among themselves, These men are thy who have murdered the judge, and God has smitten them that they could not flee from us.
76 And it came to pass that they laid hold on them, and bound them, and cast them into prison.
77 And there was a proclamation sent abroad that the judge was slain, and that the murderers had been taken, and were cast into prison.
78 And it came to pass that on the morrow, the people did assemble themselves together to mourn and to fast, at the burial of the great chief judge, who had been slain.
79 And thus were also those judges who were at the garden of Nephi, and heard his words, were also gathered together at the burial.
80 And it came to pass that they inquired among the people, saying, Where are the five who were sent to inquire concerning the chief judge whether he was dead?
81 And they answered and said, Concerning this five whom ye say ye have sent, we know not; but there are five, who are the murderers, whom we have cast into prison.
82 And it came to pass that the judges desired that they should be brought; and they were brought, and behold they were the five who were sent;
83 And behold the judges inquired of them to know concerning the matter, and they told them all that they had done, saying, We ran and came to the place of the judgment seat, and when we saw all things, even as Nephi had testified, we were astonished, insomuch that we fell to the earth; and when we were recovered from our astonishment, behold they cast us into prison.
