This is a typed transcription of a report of the attempt at a hearing from Beta Beta chapter before the Grand Council on August 25, 1898, at the National Convention in Lincoln, Nebraska. "BB" refers to the Beta Beta exchanges, "GS" refers to Grand Secretary Carla Sargent, "GC" to Grand Council, and "GP" to Grand President Bertha Richmond. The exchanges are Beta Beta lodging a protest against the charter withdrawal charges by the fraternity, and whether the meeting suffices in a judicial sense, as a defense court. There is a note on the back, Defendants' Exhibit E, that this is Catherine Stallman's copy from the stenographer's minutes. Presumably this transcript served as evidence in the Beta Beta chapter lawsuit against the fraternity. A handwritten version is also available.
