Elder George J. Adams was the main witness against Augusta Cobb and Brigham Young. His written deposition, dated May 3, 1847, was then corroborated by Â"a widow lady, who had been to Nauvoo, and while thereÂ" been endowed in the Temple. Judge Samuel Sumner Wilde Â"decreed a full divorce from the bonds of matrimony.Â"
