Fraternal case overrules demurrer and returns to trial
The Fraternity won on appeal after a lengthy carnage of hearings in 1916 1917 over a demurrer to a Bill of Complaint. The Court of Appeals sustained the lower court and remanded for trial on the merits. Judge Duffy then presided in January 1917 as seven days of witnesses and proceedings drew national attention. The decree reinstated Lee in the Masonic Order and the Fraternity appeals again. The case ended with the Court of Appeals disposing of the matter at Annapolis and upholding the Order’s internal tribunal authority. The piece notes the case as a major fraternal dispute in the state and praises the Order’s governance.
