    Nine men came in, marching in one line, and he killed the nine, but three others escaped.
    Next morning the nine dead men were found at the house. There was a fair in Dunmore on that same day and as one of the mens mothers was passing through the town she said that if her three sonms were alive they would wipe out all in Dunmore.
