“As told in a previous account in this book Bartley Creamer was charged with the murder of Kelly (emergency man).”
(continued from previous page)He walked Drumkeeran round
And took a drop in many a shop
In that grand old town.
In the evening towards Dowra
He started on the road
And 'twas remarked by many
He had in a great load
In Dowra, too, another drop
To help him on the way
Whilst with him in his pocket
A pint he did convey
He fell stone dead
Upon the road
His loss some may bewail
At all events poor Creamer
Was lodged in Sligo jail
In his cell sore suffered Creamer
Till here the other day
He was taken and his case was tried
In the court-house of Galway
Evidence for the Crown, it was put down
And that night manfully
The cheers went round
Through Galway town
When Creamer he got free
The rejoicings, then through Carrick
Were remarkable, we all know(continues on next page)
