    When he was coming home he was spied on. They questioned him and murdered him for going to that meeting. He was killed for going. It was at the red gates leading into Mr Browne's yard. The corpse were left for some time at the back of where St John's national School now stands. His body was left there for some days.

Some people think that there is two men in it a man named Lambe and a man named Duffy
