Andrew Wood Cowley wasn't afraid of anything. However after two consecutive sentences at the Utah Federal Penitentiary for the same offense-cohabitation with his four wives, he was frightened.

He had to live worthily to see them in the resurrection. The former bishop had taken up drinking prior to his arrest by the federal marshall.
