In ,o-day's paper We publish the rcsou.
tons Of the Chester 0lll Masoric Lodge,
expelling one DR.. Wn. 4. Gordon, for gross,
immoral, urmasonic, unproiessonal and un.
gentlemanly conduct. The history of the
case presents one of the most diabolcal acts
OF riIIainy ever perpetra'ed in civilized
community. The following particulars are
derived from gentleman who has long been
intimate with the parties.
This Gordon graduated in one Of the medi.
cal schools Of this city, and removed to
Chester, some years ago, and there went
into practice with DIR. Ferris lie has an
amiable wife and several children. From
some cause, the son Of DR.. Ferris 'sliked
Gordon, and they remained enemies until the
death Of DR.. Ferris. Gordon then made
friends with young Ferris, and became init
mate with beautiful young lady to whom
he was engaged to be married Ferris re-
moved to Cincinnati, and during his absence
Gordon used every art in his power to Sc.
duce the young girl; but failing in his hell
ish designs, he administered certain drugs,
and thus triumphcd over her virtue. BY
threats Of exposure, he forced her to con-
tinue the criminal connection, and received
from her, letters acknowledging her guilt
short tlmd ago, Ferris returned to Chester,
and thinking his betrothed still innocent,
married her. Gordon (who had really never
forgiven Ferris the injuries of the past placed
a package of his wife's letters in his way,
which told the whole story OF her crime
His first thought was to take the life Of the
destroyer Of his peace, but not meeting him,
and rcilecing that his wife might be equally
guilty, he left the village and has never re.
turned. The excitement growing out of the
affair was intense, and the Masons promptly
expelled Gordon from their Lodge The
case is one in which the sevcrest penalties
Of Lynch law would he justiNablc, and we
sincerely hope that the brutal tend will get
his deserts. There is no other law to reach
him, and he should be hung, without Judge
or jury, to the highest limb on Chester bluff.
The ruined wife and her destroyer remain in
the same town-shc an object CT pity and
commiseration, he hated and condemned by
all who knew him. lie is known in this
city, but we advise him to keep away-he
may not lare so wcll mere. 1ncre Is no pun.
ishment too severe for such black. hearted
