Extracts from the London Committee
verbatim report, May 16th., 1906.

Keightley: I should like Mr. Leadbeater to tell
us whether in following this course he did so
with Mrs. Beasnt's knowledge and consent before
these charges were sent to India. He states in
his letter that he has no secrets from Mr.
Besant and he has been in intimate relations
with her. I should like him to tell us at
what date Mrs. Besant was made aware and
whether at that time she did not express disapproval.

(Miss Ward quoted Mrs. Besant's statement of
disapproval)

not tell all of his methods to Mrs. Besant.

Olcott: Since he did not want the boys to
tell their mothers he would I should think,
shrink from telling Mrs. Besant.

Why did Leadbeater "not want the boys to tell their mothers...."?
