MASONRY WAS PROFITABLE
George Fleming Makes Remarkable Con-
fSssion ct Tacoma.
Says He systematically Secured Money
by q False Pretense All Over
the World.

TACOMA, Wash, January 25.-Georse
Fleming, who has been convicted ard sent
to the penitentiary at walla Walla to
serve two and one-half years for obtaining
money under false pretenses. has made
confession, which, IL II were not cor
roborated by more than one hundred let
tiers from different Masonic lodges in the
United States and other countries, would
be received with incredulity.
Fleming is bogus Mason, yet so skill
1uily has he applied himself that he has
been complimented by past grand masters
on his knowledge of Masonry. BY his own
admissions, he lived for years from money
borrowed under false pretenses from Ma
sons, in amounts varying from SO to sew
erai hundred, or. as he told ex-Sheriff
van Devanter. according to their circum-
stances and times"
The total amount of money thus obtained
VIII probably reach $4,000. but he has
borrowed SO much that he does not pre-
Ieno to recite all the instances. He has
spent a cent for railroad or other trans
portation. He has so many aliases that he
cannot name them. He was known in Mis-
slssi ppi as Professor Wiley in Kentucky
as alexander Craig, in PENNSYLVANIA as
william Ball. in Cincinnati and Chicago
as CharieS Wilson, in st. Louis as Will
liam Mays.
In Paris he claims to have met and dined
with the Prince of Wales and Sir Dudley
ward For dessert he borrowed $50 from
the prince on the strength of Masonry In
MADRID he worked Hanns Taylor for free
transportation to the Rock of Gibraltar by
the way of Csdiz.
