  1. (continued from previous page)
    night he heard crying in the room and he went into the room to see what was happening.
    He saw an old woman in the room and she killing the children.
    He brought her into the kitchen until he would call his next door neighbour and when they came in she was gone.
    They went out to the barn and they got her in it. They told her if they caught her again they would kill her. She never came after this.
