Knights Of Honor-Decision Against
Breokinridge.

The following will be read with in
terest by the members of the Knights of
Honor in Mississippi:
The celebrated case of Henry Tovey
VS.. Col. Breckinridge, Supreme Treas
urer of the Knights of Honor, was de-
cided by Judge Baxter, in the United
States Court yesterday, and was COM
plete victory for Tovey and the Supreme
Lodge.
1t will be remembered that Breckin-
ridge was charged with having in hi 5
possession Sl53,000 which he held as
Supreme Treasurer, and which consisted
of death benefits belonging to widows
and orphans of deceased members. The
Supreme Lodge removed its headquar-
tiers from Louisville, KY, to the State
of Missouri, and Breckenridge claimed
that no officers could be elected outside
of the State of Kentucky He, there
fore, refused to pay any death benefits
on the order of the Supreme Dictator,
who was elected in Missouri.
Tie case was tried before a Kentucky
Chancellor and decided in favor of
Breckinridge. Tovey took the case to
| the United States Court and the
Judgment of the Chancellor was re-
| versed.
Besides Breckinridge the Peoples
Bank of Kentucky and the lodge were
defendants. Breckenridge is a director
of the bank, and it was charged had
been using the funds in the concern.
Judge Baxter, in deciding the case,
said he regretted exceedingly that he
was unable to appoint receiver for the
entire fund in Mr.. Breckinridge's pos
session. Mr. Tovey's claim is but $4,000,
and he has no right to ask for greater
security than that fund. He then ap-
pointed the Fidelity Trust and Safety
Vault Company of Louisville, Ky, as
receiver and directed that the Peoples
Bank and Breckinridge pay to that con
Germ within five days $2500 to secure Mr..
Tovey's interest, and to be held pending
the litigation.
| Judge Baxter, also held that Breckin-
ridge had no right to refuse to pay or
ders, and that under The charter of Ken
tucky the lodge had an unquestioned
right to meet in any place aud State in
the Union selected by majority of its
members; that the officers elected at
Chicago were legally and properly
chosen, and that an obligation of the
order if paid by Breckinridge would be
a full protection to him. The Judge
further said that if he could see any
way at all he would order the defen
dants to pay all the m 'ney to the re
ceiver, but that it was beyond his con
troll.
The attorneys were Major Gratz, OF
Knoxville, Tenn, for the lodge; Col. J
Mason Brown for Tovey; Judges Toby
and Minor and Mr.. kinkead for defen
dants.
1t is claimed by Breckinridge that he
only has sl14,576 20 belonging to the or
der This is $4,000 less than the lodge
claims he holds.-Cincinnati Enquirer
