    asked for the priest, but his son was standing in the door with a gun waiting to shoot him. The priest said, "he will not harm me", and he went on and walked past him, and attended the dying man. He passed back out again and the man still stood with the gun in his hand waiting, and never saw him passing in or out. He stood there nearly all day.
