HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY 471 so complete that none ever detected the hoax till the blindfold was removed. In order to drown the laughter of the members, chains were dragged and various sound stifling devices used. The head of the lodge was supposed to lie a man of deep and impressive voice'for the purpose oi' the ritual. Early in the initiation the candidate was asked if he could write his name-in the dark and on his doing so he would discover three or four days later when a bill was presented to him that he had signed an order for various solid and liquid refreshments. The routine of the initiation proceeded as follows, for example, the commander would inquire of the candidate if he would be willing in order to procure information from the enemy, to lie on his stomach and steal into his camp by night. The candidate would of course answer, "yes." The lodge would repeat, in unison, "The candidate Avill lie and steal." The commander in his'ponderous voice would say, "Let it be recorded that the candidate will lie and steal." At another place in the initiation a gigantic sponge was provided and as Hie blindfolded candidate stood before the commander and the rest of the lodge, at intervals during the ritual, the commander would ask in his majestic way, '"'How many feet of water in the grand tank," the member having the sponge in charge would lift it from the tub and allow the water to run out of the sponge and reply, "One foot," then "Two feet," and so on until ten feet was announced. Later the command would be given, "Let the candidate be emersed in the grand tank," and the blindfolded candidate would be taken up to the top of a platform and guided down the incline plane until he .landed in a sitting position on top of the sponge, where he would strike out to swim. much to the delight of the assembled members. At another place in the ritual-the candidate was asked if he had any precious stones concealed about his person, the candidate would answer "No," the lodge would repeat in unison, "The candidate has no stones." The commander would announce, "Let it be recorded that the candidate has no stones." A strong endeavor was made to impress on the candidate's mind the presence of one or more clergymen or prominent citizens for whom the candidate was supposed to have great respect. Whenever a man of unusual physical strength was initiated a stool pigeon was initiated at the same time. On one such occasion the stool pigeon stood at the head of a file of candidates next to a man of great reputation for courage. All were blindfolded. After being conducted to the hall the candidates were told to count ten. The stool pigeon in a loud voice called "One," he was gently reprimanded by the commander and again asked to count. Again in" a louder tone he cried" "One," more severely be was reprimanded again by the commander and again asked to count, and again in a loud voice he cried "One." He was now solemnly warned that another repetition of the offense would cause him to be brought before the grand council of ten. He again cried in a loud tone "One," and immediately with great force be was torn away from the side of the courageous candidate crying at the top
472 HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY of his voice "Mercy." A clanking of chains succeeded and at a little distance a fainter cry for mercy. A little further and the cry almost died away and then ceased after which the candidate was hazed to the content of the lodge. With this sketch of A man wjio served his generation well according to his light, let this record end.
