The minutes of the meeting of the Board held on July 26, 1883, were read by the Secretary pro tem., C. E. Gunn, corrected in certain particulars, and approved as so corrected. On motion of Trustee Edgerton, S. Solon Holl was permitted to appear as counsel in the prosecution of the charges, he having requested the Board to permit him to appear in that capacity, as counsel for Miss M. A. Patton. The Secretary read the charges, when Mr. Johnson, of counsel for the defendant, asked leave to file a paper on behalf of the defendant, and permission being given, the paper was read to the Board and placed on file. On motion of Mr. Edgerton, Judge Holl was given leave to prepare and serve upon Mr. Wallis, or his counsel, amended charges, within five days from this date, and Mr. Wallis was given leave to answer the same within five days after such service, and the further hearing of these charges was continued until Tuesday, September 4, 1883, at one o'clock P.M.

Clarken, E. K. Dunlap, and Mr. Metcalf, and of such other persons as may be invited by counsel in this matter five days before said fourth day of September, 1883. On motion of Mr. Edgerton, Winfield J. Davis was requested to act as Official Reporter of the Board in all of the proceedings in connection with the charges against Mr. Wallis. On motion, the Secretary was directed to furnish counsel on both sides with a certified copy of the charges preferred by Trustee Owen, and now on file.
