Clark Kelley Price (1945 - ) CA. Silence, Ye Fiends of the Infernal Pit. 48" x 93" oil on canvas. Signed lower center: CLARK PRICE '70. During the time Joseph Smith was incarcerated in Richmond, the prisoners were chained together under miserable conditions and constant harassment. One incident during the imprisonment has become a legend. Joseph Smith, chagrined at the verbal abuse, boasting, and obscenity by the guards, stood up in chains and commanded, “Silence, ye fiends of the infernal pit. In the name of Jesus Christ I rebuke you, and command you to be still; I will not live another minute and hear such language. Cease such talk, or you or I die this instant!” (p. 221). The tormenters reportedly begged his pardon and fell silent.”  Another report quotes a witness as stating (speaking of Smith): “Dignity and majesty have I seen but once, as it stood in chains at midnight in a dungeon in an obscure village of Missouri.”
