heirs.
In the meantime another con-
troversy Of somewhat like nature
arisen where $4,000 is due upon the
certificate Of our late Brother George
A. Martin, Jr., of Orono Lodge.
THE question here is whether the
same shall go TO his daughter or his
brother. The certificate was In her
name, but the day before his death he
signed a properly filled out request ana
direction hat his brothers name be
substituted for that of his daughter.
il was not done. however, in the pres
ence of the recorder of our local lodge,
as our laws direct.
CAS- in the other case, the money has
been paid into court, by its ORDER and
the Grand Lodge has been discharged
from all legal liability.
1.-TWO other cases have been called to
nv attention. One was where our late
brother, Albion z. Cram of Mount Yer
non had designated his second wife as
his beneficiary. She having died be-
fore him, he neglected TO name any
other. The amount, therefore, went to
all his children. But as some or them
we're by a former marriage, the chill
dren of the last wife, n OF them a

an idea that the fund would pass to
them as heirs Of their deceased mother,
instead of children of the dead father.

any portion of the fund.

very gentlcmanly way, expressing his
thanks and satisfaction with the ex-
p~lanation given. There has. therefore,
been no delay in making this distribu-
ton.
The other case was where a member
and his wife were divorced. He,
thereupon, told her that If she would
nav his dues and assessments h

them realizing that only as wife or de-
pendent could she remain his bene-

inability to do so. even if a lawfully
designated beneficiary, she attempted

Is Held in $1,000 Bonds
For April Term Of Superior Court on
Charge of Living With His Daughter,
Annie A., as Man and Wife.

y case which was possessed OF de-
tails showing a degree of degradation
which have seldom been heard before
the Augusta municipal court, was that
which on Thursday morning claimed
the attention of that tribunal when one
Charles II. Leighton, alias Catlin, was
al raigned on the charge of having for
the past four months been living with
his daughter, Annie A., aged about Il
years, the two occupying the same
apartment as nan and wife. The COM
plant was made by Mrs. Ada +. Hunt
State agent for the prevention of cruel
ty to children, and in working up the
case she had the cooperation ,of Miss
Gertrude l.. Macdonald, superintendent
Of the State School for Girls at Halo
well.
When arraigned before Judge Lam
caster the respondent, Leighton. plead
ed not guilty. whereupon his daushter.
Annie A. took the stand and told the
story Of her life with her father since
| early last November. up to which time
she claimed that she had not known
that she had a father. For four years
prior to that time she had been a mem
Der of the State School for Girls at
Hallowell, and Went by the name Of
Corey.
In regard to her life for the past four
months she admitted that she had lived
with her father in the manne Of when
she was accused: that she had lived
with him ut Britt's Gully for two weeks
after She first joined him. after which
they had moved to a lumber camp out
back Of Hallowen. Here they lived for
four or five weeks, after which they
came back to Britt's Gully for a week.
After that they went to Wilton. But
wherever they lived the life was the
same-she did the cooking (such as
there was to do. though h said that
they did not LAY a great deal to eat,
while she and her father occupied the
same apartment. 1t also came out DUR
ing the hearing that Leighton himself
had been afflicted with a ioathsome dis
ease and still bore scars n sores as a
result Of it.
Regarding the appearance of the girl
Annie on the scene, she was located by
Miss Macdonald two days G at Lew
iston. and the matter was at once taken
up by Mrs. Hunt, with the result that
Leighton was produced in curt.
At the conclusion of the hearing yes
terday forenoon Judge Lancaster held
Leighton in the sum of $1,000 for APP
pearance az the April term OF the SUI
perior court for Kennebec county. and
