Abstract

The openness and congeniality of twenty-first century Masons cannot be a new thing, as Freemasonry has been a key part of the American social network since the eighteenth century. What then, can we make of the allegations surrounding the abduction and murder of William Morgan, who, as Bruce Van Orden has shown in his article, was bent on revealing the deepest held secrets of Freemasonry? Of course, I can supply no answer to this great historical question. I can, however, offer a new piece of evidence: the key to the jail cell where Morgan was held in Canandaigua, New York.
