  1. (continued from previous page)
    gave the Priest an answer by saying that the walls of hell "would fall on top of him". Not long after the bully got sick and died. The priest was at the funeral but he left before the coffin was down in the grave. So the people covered it themselves. When they had that done the people heard noise in the grave. The brought up the coffin and found the man upside down, by this time the priest had come back and when he was leaving the spire of the Protestant Church fell and killed him.
