TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 2002 A document which tied a massacre historically attributed to Indians to Mormon Church leader Brigham Young is being considered a fake. A forensics expert said the document was not signed by John D. Lee, who was executed for the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre. The inscription, which was found in January, claimed Young supported the killing of 120 settlers from Arkansas. A different crime specialist from Utah said he was still examining the document.
