Dr. Wilson never intended to create further lodges of the Knights of Honor and was devoting his time to the organizing more lodges of the AOUW when his commission from the latter was revoked on October 24, 1873. That night Grand Master Workman Handy went to Louisville Lodge #6 and had charges drawn up against him for creating a new fraternal order and copying the AOUWs constitution. A committee was set up to investigate the charges. According to Wilson, the members of this committee were, like him, also Freemasons and Oddfellows, and could see that the constitution of the AOUW was a copy of the constitution of the Oddfellows Grand Lodge of Ohio, itself a copy of the constitution of a Masonic Grand Lodge.
