Arrangement of the temple. Immediately after 
the candidates leave the Temple room a large banquet 
table is placed in the position of the Altar, provided 
with luncheon or banquet (as can best be done, in vari-
ety according to ability of body); when all is properly
set a frame is placed upon the table, viz.: Four square
sticks, forming a post for each corner, about fourteen
inches or more high, With bars from each corner,
forming, a square frame the size of the table. All this
is above the banquet and the supports a black cloth or
cover, elevated in the center, ostensibly forming a tomb.
The cloth is ornamented with sphynx, urn, crescents, 
etc., and should reach to the floor on all sides and be
fringed; this conceals all the table and banquet. 
The Layer, Altar or- Incense and all the furniture 
are placed about the Temple on each side. In the 
North a scaffold is erected of two upright and one hori-
zontital joists, painted black and strong enough to sup-
port the weight of a man when suspended a hole is in 
the center of the horizontal bar and a pullev on the 
right corner for a rope to slide over; also a strong peg
on the center of the rightt perpendicular bar or post on
which to fasten the rope after elevating the man, with
a clasp on the end of the noose in the center to hook 
into the ring at the back of the culprit's neck. 
The gibbet should be high enough to enable the ex- 
ecutioners to raise the extremities about three feet from
the floor and leave a space of two or three feet above 
the head (all these appointments need cost but a small
sum; the whole equipment has been so arranged as not 
to be too expensive, unless extravangant properties are
desired).  A member with white robe, skull and skele-
ton-faced mask stands front of scaffold to adjust noose
at proper time. Two strong, members at the side of 
scaffold, robed in black, to elevate the culprit. (Scaf-
fold may have black curtains about it if desired to con-
ceal the executioners at the side).
