Tined sss Each--A Unique Case.
WALTHAM, Mass, Aug. 2O.-The most
unique case ever tried In the district court
came up before Judge Luce, when an al
legged expose" was made under oath Of
the rites and ordeals through which can
didate must pass to become full fledged
Orangeman.
Frank A. Preble was one Of the oandi-
dates for admission. He thought the ini-
tiatory ceremony was cruel. and he sought
legal satisfaction for his experience
1t was on the evening of July 25. he
said on the witness stand, that he received
his initatory degree in the Orange lodge
OF Waltham He swore that he was com
PEELED TO discard all raiment except his
underwear He was then blindfolded and
led into the larger lodgeroom by Brothers
Daniel Tracey and William Mabie, who
acted as conductors
There he was struck severely with whips
and finally posed upon what seemed to
him step ladder An obligation WAS I'M
posed, after which the ladder was sudden
ly pulled from. under him. and be was
pitched into a canvas blanket, In which
he was bounced around for awhile.
Finally Mabie told him to raise his hand
and try to find the serpent" Brother
Graham then cried, 'You did not find 1t,
but it has found you, and then, Preble
said, a. branding iron was applied twice to
\ his breast. After that he was seated, and
the rest was easy.
Breast Badly Burned.
a The witness breast was badly burned,
S he said, and the wounds were raw for ten
q days. His legs were discolored by the blows
he received from the whips.
q Edward Arch was another sufferer. He

"Brothers Tracey and Mabie guarded the
81 candidate" be said; Brother O'Neil
Il heated the branding iron, and Brother
ri Graham applied it, Brother Niokerson
NJ had objected that the iron was toe hot,
# but O'Neil heated it further and said they
would give the candidate good roast -
Arch had not interfered to protect Pre-
BILE. he said, because he knew It wos..d dc
no good. His own legs had been whipped
harder than had Preble's, but his own
breast had escaped more lightly. He only
had one brand applied, and that was about

crime had been committed, and counsel
asked that the members of the lodge bt

Judge Luce however, fined six officers

have come to the conclusion that my ex-

is a rather common one. 1 found very
respectable appearing family up there who
told me that they were in reduced circum-

about twice as high as those of the average
country hotel, but their house was con-

board with them.
