The Trustees of Mount Auburn Cemetery met according to adjournment, on Monday May 13^th 1861, at 10 o'clock, a.m.

There were present the President, and Messrs Andrews, Cheever, Crocker, Curtis, Nazro, Rand and Tobey.

Alleged charge by E. L. Lunt not sustained _

The record of the last meeting was read. _ Mr Curtis moved that the Trustees proceed to examine the witness called in reference to the communication made to the Trustees, at the last meeting, by Dr. J. V. C. Smith, and as Mr Mann's counsel had requested it, that the witnesses be sworn, which motion was adopted.

Mr Lunt was sworn, and Dr Smith, upon request was affirmed.

Mr Lunt stated that the alleged conversation took place between his man named W^m. M. Kinsman, and the Superintendent, as his man informed him _ that he himself never had any conversation with the superintendent on the subject _ that he did wrong in so stating it as to give Dr Smith the impression that he had the conversation.

Dr Smith explained that he had no acquaintance with the superintendent, that he made his communication to the Board because he believed that so grave a charge should be brought
