A. Our Grand Master, Hiram Abiff, having
finished his usual exercises, attempted to retire at
the south gate, where he was accosted by Jubela,
who thrice demanded of him the secrets of a
Master Mason, or the Master's word; and, on
being refused, gave him a blow with the twentyfour-inch
gauge across the throat, upon which he
fled, and attempted to pass out at the west gate,
where he was accosted by Jubelo, who, in like
manner, thrice demanded of him the secrets of a
Master Mason, or the Master's word; and, on his
being refused, gave him a blow with a square
across his breast, upon which he fled, and
attempted to make his escape out at the east gate,
where he was accosted by Jubelum, who, in like
manner, thrice demanded of him the secrets of a
Master .Mason, or the Master's word: and, on his
being refused, gave him a violent blow with a
setting-maul, on his forehead, which felled him
dead on the spot. 2

Q. What did they do with the body?
A. They buried it in the rubbish of the Temple
until low twelve, or twelve at night, when they
met by agreement and carried it a westerly course
from the Temple, to the brow of a hill west of
Mount Moriah, where they buried it in a grave
dug due east and west, six feet perpendicular, at
the head of which they planted an acacia, in order
to conceal it, and that the place might be known,
should occasion ever require; and then made their
escape.
Q. When was our Grand Master, Hiram Abiff,
found to be missing?
A. On the following day.
