Author: Mike NevilleTitle: Crafty CharactersBinding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 176Release Date: 2024-03-31Details: A deep dive into the conspiracy theories surrounding the Freemaso ns.Are masons involved in conspiracies to control the world or are they just ordinary members of society? These tales of wonderful and wicked masons will help you decide.Many Freemasons have made the world a better place, while some have been villainous criminals. Members of the Craft have developed forensic science, solved famous crimes and invented all manner of things. It was a mason who formed the Special Branch to fight terrorism and another who brought the Moors Murders to an end. The Elephant Man was rescued by a mason and another masonic doctor was the first to identify an occupational cancer. On the other hand there have been several evil masonic doctors who committed murder, and a masonic surgeon who may have committed regicide, although his motives were merciful. In some cases, such as the Cleveland Street Scandal, masons found themselves on both sides of the law. This book tells the stories of weird and wonderful masons from every walk of life-celebrities, filmmakers, soldiers, princes, explorers, world-famous businessmen, politicians, forgers and scoundrels. There have been masons of every character, and none more extreme, shocking and entertaining than those covered in this book.Table of ContentsIntroduction; The Bloody Code: Dreadful Punishments for Crime; A Deadly Grand Master and Masonic Schisms; A Masonic Doctor and the Fight Against Cancer; Brother Deacon Brodie: The Inspiration for Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde; The Dead Man's Hand: How the Ace of Spades Killed a Mason; The Mad Masonic Marquess who Painted the Town Red; The Murdering Quaker: Captured by a Masonic Invention; Murderous Masonic Medical Men; The Policeman and Mason who Inspired Charles Dickens; Masonic Conveniences: The Craft's Contribution to Public Hygiene; The First Whitechapel Murderer: Brother Wainwright; Special Branch: Masons and the Fight Against Terrorism and Treachery; Masons on Ripper Street; The Cleveland Street Scandal: Masons Good and Bad!; The Mysterious Murders of Multi-Millionaire Masons; Kings and the Craft: Freemasons in the House of Windsor; The Mason who Saved the King and the Elephant Man; Masons and Forensic Science: The Development of Fingerprint Evidence; Masons Snare a Serial Killer: The Camberwell Murders; Brethren Beware!
