McKinnie Said to be Pushing the Charges Against Root in Order to Gratify a Personal Spite —Other Societies. The head camp of the Modern Woodmen of America met at Springfield, 111, last Tues- day in biennial session for the glection of offi- cers and the trarSaction of business. In view of this meeting the statement of Hon. R. M. Ireland, counsel for the defouse in cer- tain suits affecting the order which are now pending in the Illinois courts, will be of in- terest. Mr, Ircland's statemeutis as fol- lows: “The troubles in this order have attracted wide attention and this meeting will be watched with some interest. A suit is pend- ing against the order brought by the state au- thorities in which it would be competent, if the charges preferred should be established, to dissolve the order or remove its offi The prosecution have stated that the latt object is the only true one in view. If thi is true, the re-election of officers at the com- ing convention should make such decree of removal of no practical effect. “T'he prosecution in thelengthy state syit have recently completed the taking of testi- mony, and the defense have begun and de- voted several days to the taking of their evi- dence. A representative of the defense in- forms us that the articles recently published in Chicago papers of a damaging tone to Head Consul Root were altogether misleading, as well as highly sensational. They were founded on ceftain testimony, showing that Mr. Root had gone to Chicago and procure some papers supposed to implicate him 1 the so-called Bernum fraud, and also procared the notarial seal with which the proofs were stamped, “In the articles which it Inspired or dictated by P. L. McKiunie, who has been the instigator of the troubles and Wwho was present at the taking of this part of the testimony, it was made to appear that certain papers were in the hands of a Mrs. Owens, implicating Mr. Root, and among them one iustructing her husband how to m.lfim the death proofs and where to put the seal. *‘The defense has shown that Owens was at that time printing the Echo, the official organ of the order; that the supposed letters of in- struction were simply copies of the death proofs in the Bernum case, consisting of afti- davits, etc., which Root had dntendeded to print in full in the November Echo, but ‘Wwhich, on account of the length of the arti- cle it would make, were finally not used, but an articlo was printed in more condensed form. All papers obtained: of Mrs, Owens ‘were dph)ducc in evidence and nothing ap- peared to implicate Mr. Root. he papers and seal had been in posses- sion of Owens, who had forged Root's name to several notes, and, upon discovery, having fled to South Awmerica, left the papers and seal with his wife, in order to extort money from Root, and the latter thought in getting them he was getting a clew to the perpetrat- ors of the fraud. It was not shown in evi- dexe iu“mm the seal thus procured was made, and Mence it is not known whether ornot Owens caused the same to be made for the purpose of blackmail long after the death proo roofs were made, or whether it may have n the original seal and Owens been impli- cated in the fraud. “Much bhas been sald agalust Mr. Root in relation to the Bernum claim, but it has been conclusively established by the testimony of four reputable witnesses that he paid the money to the alleged beneficiary, “Phe statement chat Root defrauded the order ot of $40,000, is made of whole cloth, is claimed were It is malicious and wholly unwarranted by e at all, and explained. Marchand, also, the a xamined the head clerk’s office for the state auditor, vecently by request examined Mr. Root's books from 1852 until the Inm-m time, and found all morieys in his department properly accounted or, “The malignity with which Mr. been pursued by his enemy in_ this matter is rarely equaled. Of course if he had been guilty of a quarter of the charges laid to his door, he could have been |||(lulml and con- victed. Indeed it would have been better for nim if he could have been indicted. A speedy trial could have been had, at which he would have been acquitted, Three different at- tempts, however, have been made to indict him, but sufticient evidence could not be pro- duced even to show probable guilt, or upon which to found an indictment, and the bill was each time thrown out. Comsequently the only case in which he has had -an opportunity to defend himself s in lengthy chanc suit, in which the prosecution, intentionally or otherwise, have consumed all the summer, or four and a half months, in putting in their evidence,and his n])]mr!\lnll\ to defend himself, has nlll) just begun. Furthermore, technical viola- tions fll statute, which might be unwittingly made, and which would involve no moral turpitude, are charged also and pushed so of them should be established Root’s enemies would strive to make it appear that he was fouud guilty genepally. ‘“The board of directors of the order are charged with certain offenses, but as such es are not sensational they are seldom noticed. This board, as much as it has been abused, deserves unlimited credit, in that, in spite of foes within and foes without, they will turn the order over to their succ s sound and substantially out of debt. ) took it with a wembership of 24,000; they leave it with & membership of 47,000, ' They took it involved in debt; they leave it sub- stantially free from debt. Among them are such men as ex-Senator Erwin of Tomah, " se of Lihcoln, Neb.; Prof. Scudder of South Evanston, 111.; C. C. Far- mer of Mount Carroll, 111, and others of like character. Their standing in their respective communities simply. corroborates the fact of the integrity and care which they have shown in the managewment of the order in a trying time,” The head camp elected and installed the following ofMcers for the ensuing year: Head Williax Northeott, Greenville; head clerk, C.

L. Mentch, Carey, A huln‘d of directors was also elected, are all satisf Root has il The Scottish Rite in Iowa, The Masonic grand lodge of lowa at its ses- sion last June adopted by a small majority a law requiring membersof the Scottish rite of the United States jurisdiction, to withdraw from that order or to withdraw from the blue lodge, under penalty of being disciplined. The new law provided that the right of trial in such cases should be- taken away from the blue lodges and should be placed in the hands of the grand lodge. Since the adjourn- ment of the grand lodge the pulullm'llh's of the new law and the evident injustice which Is liable to result from its at- tempted enforcement have begun to appear plain to many Masons, who at first did not realize what the law really meant. The prediction is made that the next grand lodge will rescind this law. and that this will end the controversy. The time fixed by the law for members to withdraw was August 1, those remaining after that date to be liable to discipline, There are in Iowa 700 or 500 of these Scottish rite Masous, many of them prominent as Masons and as citizens, They have refused to withdraw from the Scottish rite, and also retain their membership®in blue lodges. Thelr claim is that the grand loege has 1o right to dictate as to what other societies they may belong, if they observe their obligations to the biue lodge. In the latter part of August the grand fos ited sent formal answers, giving their objections to this proceedure Nothing has -been heard about the matter since then until last week, when one of the accused received a not that a committee, appointetd by the grand master, would be in Cedar Rapids Novembor 11 to tike testimony and veport findings. The committee consis { L. C. Blanchard, T. R. Erkenb o W. Ball. The accused declined to ¢ before the committee, and the result not known. These test cases will be watched with much interest, not only by the Masons of lowa but by those of otheér juris- dictions, One of the chief obj sed by the defendants is that the g unl lodge has no jurisdiction over the matter, a Mason having the right to. join any socloty or church 56 long as he doeés not disregard his obligations, and in joining the Scottish rite there certain- 1y is no such violation; that the law 1s void because it is contrary to the ancient land marks, and against the constitution, which provides that any one charged with a Masonic offense shall have a fair and im- partial trisl in the subordinate lodge; that it is unjust because it provides fora trial by a committee selected by the prosecu- tion and in the choice of which the defendant has no choice; that it is unfair to cite a de- fendant to avpear at a distance _from his own home and without the jurisdiction of the lodge to which he belongs; that the la post facto, many having joined the rite before any law was passed making offense.

He was past grand master of the grand lodge of Kentucky, past grand bigh priest of the rand chapter, past grand commander of Knights Templar of that jurisdiction, and at the time of ll{ death was grand master of the third veil in the general grand chapter of the United States.

The Fiction of the Careful Engineer and the Kindly Appearing Old Gentleman Who Had Been a Witness, Some intensely interesting criminal law cases have been related to a representative of Tur Ber during the past week, Judge Baldwin, with a career of more than fol years at the bar, proved to be one of the most valuable contributors. “One of the most remarkable cases that has ever came to my mnotice,” said Judge Baldwin, “‘was that of the two Boorns, who were convicted years ago in the supreme court of Vermont, in Bennington county, of the murder of Russell Colvin. It appears that Calvin, who was a brother-in-law of the prisoners, was a person of weak mind, and was considered burdensome to the family of the prisoners, who were obliged to support him; that at the time of his disaspearance, he was in a distant field where the prisoners were at work: that a violent auagrel had broken:out botweon them, and that one of them had struck him a severe blow on thé back of the head with a club, which felled him to the ground. Some suspi- cious arose at the time that he s murdered and these suspicions were increased by the finding of his hat in the same fleld a fow monthis afterwards. These suspicions in_pro- cess of time subsided, but later, one of the neighbors having repeatedly dreamed of the murder with great minuteness of circum- stance, both in regard to the missing man’ death and the concealment of his rema the Boorns » velhemently accused generally believed guilty ter a close search, the pocket knife of ( and a button of his clothes were found in an old open cellar in the same field in which he had last been seen, and in a hollow stump not many rods from it, were discovered two nails and a number of bones believed to be those of a man, “Just prior to their trial friends of the Boorns far about them said that the evidence against them was too unmistakably plain for them to longer hold out and urged them to make a clean breast of the entire matter, holding that it they did so they would un- doubtedly get their sentence of death—which was sure to be the result of their trial—com- muted to imprisonment fox life, “The men were tried and sentenced to be hung. Their friends renewed their request that they make a full confession. One of them finally complied with the request, de- tailing a long story as to just low the murder had been commiited. The other confessed, but with great reluctance and doggedness, and would not go into details. “The one who had made the full confession had the sentence of death commuted, whiie the sentence of the penalty of the law was ordered carried out in the case of the other WAs the day of exceution approached the doomed man made a declaration that he and his brother had lied—lied outrageously—and that for his part he would not risk lmfug his Maker with so awful a lie upon his soul. The declaration was received sImply as an act of supreme cowardice in the face of death, and caused all but two or three of the most intimate friends of the maker of it to turn against him, so plain—to their minds and to the mind of the entire community was it that both men were guilty beyond all possible doubt. “The last suunrise but one, for the doomed man, was just flooding his Vermont home when who siiould appear at the door but Rus- sell Calvin—the man for the murder of whom Boorn was upon the morrow to be exccuted “The explanation of the whoie matte aaded Judge Baldwin, “is suaple i its chur- acter. “I'he two Boorns had jumped upon Colvin in the fleld and beaten him. He had escaped from them, leaving his hat bebind, and so Colvin immediately hastened back to save the unlucky fellow's neck. As for sions iwhich the Boorns made—particularly the full and very explicit one—they made simply for one purpose—that of t to save their necks. “While addressing the jury in case a few years ago,” continued fho Jude, T lound 1 with which to illustrate the great and & preme need existing for calm judgment and a complete investigation, particularly when human life is at stake, and so I manufactured this one: A passenger train was pulling into the station of a little New Englind town. The engineer had seen many utinuous service on that particular run and was kuown and honored as a reliable man, and it was known o an ineh where he would stop his engine upon reaching the town. “IA great celebration was hela in the town, one day, and when the train came in the track for fifty feet ahead of the point where the old-timé engineer had always stopped his train was crowded with men, women and children, so great a confidence did all have in the power and rule of the oid engineer to al- ways stop his engine at the one particular spot. “But on this festal day, whei came_in—horrors of all horro stopping at the usual spot, it through the dense mass of humanity, grinding the life from out a scoro of human beings, and stopping only when its wheels tad found no more of human blood to the train Instead of plowed on deep and black as ever were ut- ined down upon the engincer. s of ‘Lynch him?

But he was ugrh,? hissed the crowd. *His crime has stricken him dumb! Put the rope about his neck—the bloody monster!" N For God's sake, never! shouted reman, whose trained had been anning the more important mech- anism of the locomotive. “iHere! he continued, holding aloft a little bolt not an inch and a half in length, e ise of the accident—a broken bolt at the throttle! “And 50 it proved to be, when those who had counseled discretion in the wreaking of vengeance upon the engineer, had made an examination, “Ibelieve,” concluded the judge,” that I won one of the greatest cases of my life bu that little bit of fiction, and what do you think! After court had adjourned, a fine- avpearing, gray-haired old gentlemén came forward and grasping my hana exclaimed : *4¥ou told the story well, judge,you told it well!
