SECOND SECTION.--Question--Give me the history of this degree? A. Not
long after the execution, they were discovered cutting stone, in a
quarry. They were immediately seized and carried to Jerusalem, and
imprisoned in the tower of Achizer, and at ten o'clock on the ensuing
morning, they were brought forth for execution. They were bound neck
and middle, to posts, with their arms extended, and their bellies were
cut open by the executioner, lengthways and across, and thus they
remained until six in the evening, their entrails exposed to flies and
other insects; their tongues and entrails were afterwards taken out
for the beasts of the field and the birds of the air to prey upon, and
their heads were cut off and placed upon spikes, like that of Akirop,
on the west and south pinnacles of the temple. Thus we see that
although corruption, perjury and treason assisted our ancient Knights,
their quarters were discovered by the unerring eye of justice, and
they were doomed to suffer penalty tantamount to their crimes.
Q. What were the names of the two assassins? A. Jubela Kurmavel, and
Jubelo Gravolet.
Q. At what hour did the assassins expire? A. At six in the evening.

Warden rises. Signs reversed. Most Potent knocks three times five,
which is repeated by Wardens, and then by brothers with their hands,
etc.
