bedstead; and from this the bed had been
removed and thrown into the middle OF the

the floor were found four Napoleons, an
earring of topaz, three large silver spoons,
three smaller of metal d'Alger and two
bags, containing nearly four thousand
francs in gold. The drawers of bureau.

CAPT. WILLIAMS TEsTIFIEs.
Former Manager of Chicago Masonic
Temple on Tax Scandal.

A dispatch from Chicago yesterday says:
Capt. Edward Williams, the former mana
ger of the Masonic Temple, who returned
to the city Tuesday after having been three
weeks in hiding, following his conviction in
the Masonic Temple tax scandal, took the
stand this morning as a witness for the
state in the trial of President James H.
Gormley for conspiracy.
He testified that he had entered into ar
arrangement with Luke Wheeler and a man
named Storm, supposng them to represent
the county treasurers office, to secure a
receipt in full for the temple taxes,
amounting to S26,TI0.11, for $4,000, and
that he had done so with the full knowledge
and consent of President Gormley and of
Director Rush of the Masonic Fraternity
Temple Association, then its secretary and
treasurer.
Williams testified that he had nothing to
dc with the drawing of the money for the
$4,000 check. 1t was given to him a day
two after the conversation detailed
above, and he paid it over to Luke Wheeler
and received the tax receipt in exchange.
The payment, he said, was made in his Of
fee in the Masonic Temple
He was not satisfied, he testified with
Wheelers explanation of his ability to Sc
cure the receipt for that amount and
Wheeler agreed to bring one of the princi-
pal officers of the county treasurer's office
over He appeared later with a man whom
ne introduced as Mr.. storm, VINO said he
was authorized to make the arrangement,
and that it was done by .rearranging the
personal property taxes.
Peter Storm, who is presumed to be the
man in question, was an employee of the
county treasurer's Office at that time but
has since committed suicide. Williams de-
clared that neither he nor Wheeler got any
of the $4,000.
who was to get it?' he was asked.
Mr.. Raymond, the county treasurer

Gormey gave him notes for 5000 when
he (Wiliams) was arrested.

GAITHERSBURG NEWS.
Jefferson Club and Library in Dispute
Personal Notes.

Speclal CORRESPONDENCE OF The Evening Star.
GAITHERSBURG, Nd, Nov. 10, 1902.
A vigorous contention has arisen over the
possession of the jefferson Club and Lii
brary of Gaithersburg, and recourse to the
courts is possible. The club was declared
dissolved by the president, Rev. DR.. James
L. Lodge based upon action alleged 20
have been taken at the last regular meeting
two weeks ago. Dr.. Lodge, Mr.. S. A Len
man and Mr. VIM. H. Vessels, who were
at that time appointed a special COM
mittee to appraise and apportion the prop
Crty among the donors, have been attend
ing to that duty and were to have met at
Pythias Hall. 1t was the evening on which
another regular meeting of the club would
have occurred, however, and the opponents
of the action purported to have been taken
in deciding to dissolve at the previous scs-
sion took advantage of this fact, and man
aged to have the committee denied the
right to meet in the hau, but instead met
themselves in the name of the club.
There was a large attendance of those
who have been active members and many
spectators, and in the absence of President
Lodge, DIR. E. H. Etchison was made presi-
dent pro tenn, while the secretary, Miss R.
Crown, and the financial secretary, Mr.
Carson Ward of the club, were pressed into
service. Among those present who made
addresses and took issue with the advocates
OF dissolution in. their action at the former
meeting were DR.. H l.. Davis, Prof E. l..
Amiss, Mr.. Victor P. Huxley Mr.. Carson
War dand Mr.. James E. Garrett. A resolu-
ton was passed declaring the club active,

individuals have been examined in relation

transpired to throw light upon it. We give
below all the material testimony elected

any person enter the door except the old

times.
MANY other persons. neighbors, gave evil
