Jack went minding the house on the third night too., and at the - dead hour of night the same man came in the coffin but he did not fight this night. He told Jack that he was a landlord, that he took away all the people's money and evicted them and that he was suffering in Purgatory for that. Then he told him that there were two crocks of gold in a certain place, and he told him to keep one of them and to give back the other one to the people from whom he had taken it, and then he would be able to come out of Purgatory.
