The
Grand
Jury
yesterday
at
the

court
sitting
brought
in
"no

in
the
case
of
Robert
England,
former
secretary-treasurer
of
the
Aqun-rian
Foundation,
who
had
been
charged
with
embezzlement
of
$28,000
on
information
laid
by
E.
A.
Wilson,
president
of
the
Foundation.
The
theft
charge
against
Wilson
was
traversed
to
the
next
assizes
because
England
could
not
be
located.
The
charges
grew
out
of
a
difference
of
opinion
between
members
of
a
mystic

that
located
