  1. Long ago a man died in Tralee. The following night after his death a man by the name of Jack Barry came outside the door and pretended to be the dead man and he said to his wife "I'm perished with the cold, give my clothes to Jack Barry."
    The poor woman thought it was her husband. When she got up next morning she got her husband's clothes and went to Jack Barry and gave him the clothes. Jack then work them and was very thankful to the poor old woman.
