for obtaining money under false pre-

if it were not corrobCrated by more

received with incredulity.
Fleming is a bogus Mason, yet SO
skillfully has he applied himself that
he has been complimented by past

Masonry. BY his own admissions, he
lived for years from money borrowed
under false preteIscs from Masons, in
amounts varying from $40 to several
hundred, or, as ne told ex-Sheriff Van
Devanter, according to their circum-
stances and times"
The total amount of money thus OBJ
tanned will probably reach $4,000, but
he has borrowed SO much that he does
not pretend to recite all the instances.
He has travelled all over the world and
never spent cent for railroad or other
transportation He has SO many
