fore Federal Judge Martin j. Wade

made by the defendants in the case,
Matthew McBain Thomson, Thomas

that they claimed to derive their au-
thority from the highest Masonic
bodies and to provide the only legit-
innate Scottish Rite degrees in the

tor who investigated the case for the
government, completed his testimony
both on direct and cross examination

tostatic copies of certain documents
represented by the defendants to give
them authority to confer Masonic de-
grees. In completing the. direct ex-
