BURRIIL's DEFALCATION.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
Springfield. Ill, Oct. John L. Bur-
rill, ex-grand secretary of the masonic
lodge of Illinois, was brought to this city
last evening from Minneapolis, Mimi, on
a requisition. He is charged with an en-
bezzlement amounting to $1,000 from the
funds of the grand lodge of Illinois during
the year 1881. Mr.. Burrill, at that time
secretary, was obliged to leave the city on
account of the scandal which resulted from
his treatment of his wife, and his too great
intimacy with his housekeeper, whom he
after wards married, a divorce having le-
gally separated the uncongenial bonds of
the first marriage. Mr.. Burrill was allowed
to resign his position as grand secretary
and left for parts unknown with his para
mour. Since that time he has been lost
sight of by the public and no one here
knew Of his whereabouts uutil he arrived
to-day. in custody of officer and was COM
mitted to Jail. He waived examination and
being unable to furnish $4,000 bonds he
will probably remain there until the time
for his trial. Mr.. L. L. Mum of Freeport
was appointed to the Office of grand secre-
tary upon the departure of Burrile and he
was obliged to open set of books in
which to keep the accounts of his Office
when he took possession. In the course of
time errors were found which led to an in
vcstigation being ordered by the most
worthy grand master. This investigation
conducted by experts revealed shortage of
accounts of $1,000 during 1879 and 1880.
From information at command of the
Investigating committee, it appeared that
SUNS aggregating this amount had been
received from various sources by Burrill
as grand secretary, which had never been
accounted for to the grand lodge. The
evidence of the guilt of the ex-grand Sec
rotary is considered plain and conclusive.
It creates no great degree Of surprise, but
makes decided sensation.
