    Minutes from the ME Church conference meeting which expelled Mace Clough from the conference report the following:

    "Saturday, May 26, 1855. Took up the case of Mace R. Clough which was the order of the day. Br. Copeland presented the case, as the representative of the church. Br. J. C. Aspenwal was assigned as the counsel for the accused, as he was not present. The charge and specifications were then read. The testimony of Mrs. Wright was then read to sustain the first specification. The testimony of Mrs. Wright was read to sustain the second specification. The affidavit of Mrs. Wright to sustain the third specification was then read. Br. D. B. Randall testified- At the first quarterly meeting for the present year in August last, Br. Clough was called out of the Quarterly Conference. He was absent about half an hour, when he came back, and we finished the business of the conference. At the close of the Qu. Conference, he took his traveling bag and went, as I supposed, to his lodgings. Not being at the Love Feast the next morning, inquiry was made, and we were informed, he had gone to East Strong, stating that he expected to hear from his family that they were sick, and if so, he should go home that night. As he was not present during the Sabbath, I stated the facts as I understood them. He lived at Fayette, some 30 miles from New Vineyard, where the Quarterly Meeting was held. On Monday, just at evening, I called at his house in Fayette, to sympathize with him in his supposed affliction. I learned from his wife that he came home on Saturday night, and had kept his house all day not permitting his horse to be lead to watering. On Monday, he went to Hallowell, sold his horse and wagon, and took the Steamboat for Boston. I have not seen him since, but I have no doubt he was at home after being gone two or three months. He came in the night, kept himself for a fortnight or more secreted, and went away in the night, after making arrangements for his family to follow him. He has since been heard of at Parkville, Missouri. Question by D. Copeland: What was the appearance of Mrs. Wright when she gave her testimony in the case? Answer: She had every appearance of a woman telling the truth, and deeply penitent for the crime she had committed. D. Copeland testified--- I conversed with Sr. Clough. She said she had urged her husband with tears to stay and meet the matter and he refused. I was fully convinced of the honesty of Mrs. Wright and the truth of her statements. The affidavit of Mrs. Wright was presented and read. Br. J. C. Aspenwal spoke for the accused. Br. D. Copeland made some remarks upon the evidence presented and the pleadings were closed. The 1st specification was read and it was sustained by a unanimous vote in the affirmative. The 2nd specification was read and sustained by a unanimous vote in the affirmative. The 3rd specification was read and sustained by a unanimous vote in the affirmative. The charge was then read and sustained by a unanimous vote in the affirmative. Voted that Mace R. Clough having been convicted of the crimes alleged against him, be and hereby is expelled from the Church."
