See! Convincing proof!
But I guess anything's possible!
Interesting Masonic sidelight: my gg grandfather was involved in the Spring Hill election riots, where Redemptionists got in a brawl with a carpetbagger judge when he tried to "recount" the ballots in an election. During the melee, somebody knocked over the lamp. Somebody grabbed the judge under the store counter and was going to shoot him, when "he gave the Masonic Sign of Distress and was saved."
