Three Ruffians

The three ruffians are considered in the Masonic Legend to have been the three Fellowcraft Masons who killed Hiram Abif.

Their names were Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum and they are known collectively as the Juwes, which is pronounced as Joo-ees.  See "The Hiram Key" page 16.

Here we have yet another example of the use of the number three.
