In 1894 Gardner was already acquainted with Dr W. W. Westcott, a co-founder of the G.D., and with Percy Bullock, one of its most active members. Together with Gardner and John M. Watkins, who had recently established himself as a bookseller, they founded the Theosophical Society s Ananda Lodge in November 1893. It was disbanded in November 1895, probably because they all disliked Annie Besant. Hence it was Westcott and Bullock rather than Ayton who brought Gardner into the G.D.

Another trivial, yet peculiar episode, involved an English doctor who used aconitine to murder his crippled 18-year-old nephew for his inheritance. Percy Malcolm John was a resident at Blenheim School in Wimbledon and owned a small property that would go to his uncle on his death. Lamson visited the boy, bringing a cake and a capsule that he said was medicine. A few hours later he died in agony from aconitine poisoning [71]. Reportedly, aconitine toxin has been adopted by some states for assassination purposes. 

With an eye on the national funding debates, annelid specialist John Percy Moore strongly supported what Schmitt and Wharton were attempting. Taxonomy certainly needs to be vivified and justified in the eyes of the scientific world and of the sponsoring foundations, to whom it has been misrepresented. He suggested weighty arguments in favor of the plan.
