    (continued from previous page)
    a crowd of yeomen coming. He hid behind a hedge until they came up. When they came he stood and said as if to his friends "to be ready". The yeomen troops galloped away. Meany fired shots after them, but they all escaped.
    He remained hiding in this parish, but was betrayed, through jealously to the yeoman by a girl who brought him food from a farmer's house. The soldiers came to the place where he was hiding and fired about a dozen bullet at him. Then then carried his body to the town and hung it in chains in the market-place.
