New Albany (IN) Daily Ledger, September 18, 1893.
It is reported that Col. E. J. McBride, who has been treasurer of K. & L. of
H. for many years, has been deposed, and that a shortage of $10,000 in the
accounts of the order has existed since 1888 and, perhaps, longer. Col.
McBride is an old citizen of Corydon and resided in this city for some
years. He contends that he is not a defaulter and that the apparent
discrepancy is on account of incorrect bookkeeping on the part of his clerk.
The order is still in session in Indianapolis.
