Lockport, New York.
18 The Crawford Messenger of
April 29 and May 20, 1830, reprinted the entire Anderton
pamphlet, titled Masonry the Same All
Over the World: Another Masonic Murder. Articles in
subsequent numbers discussed the
statement and branded Anderton as a fraud. Several articles in
Volumes I (1830) and II (1831) of the Boston
Masonic Mirror offer proof that Anderton was an
impostor and that the incident described
could not have occurred.

original Brown manuscript as reprinted in the Appendix to
Villard, John Brown, 659-660.
