'''Highlights in the Prophet’s Life''' 20 Mar. 1826: Tried and acquitted on fanciful charge of being a “disorderly person,” South Bainbridge, Chenango County, New York. New York law defined a disorderly person as, among other things, a vagrant or a seeker of “lost goods.” The Prophet had been accused of both: the first charge was false and was made simply to cause trouble; Joseph’s use of a seer stone to see things that others could not see with the naked eye brought the second charge. Those who brought the charges were apparently concerned that Joseph might bilk his employer, Josiah Stowell, out of some money. Mr. Stowell’s testimony clearly said this was not so and that he trusted Joseph Smith. <ref>{{Ensign1|author=Anonymous|article=Highlights in the Prophet’s Life|date=Jun 1994|start=24}} {{Link|url=https://www.lds.org/ensign/1994/06/highlights-in-the-prophets-life?lang=eng&query=%22disorderly+person%22}}</ref>
