In mid-October 1838, Orson Hyde voluntarily withdrew from active participation in the Church. He and Thomas B. Marsh were disturbed at the excesses of the Danites and placed blame on Church leaders for that group's actions. The affidavit they wrote to that effect was used to charge Joseph Smith and other leaders with treason and to place them in jail. There is no evidence that Hyde was ever excommunicated. The text of a letter that Hyde wrote to Brigham Young on 30 March 1839 requesting permission to return to the Church is printed.
