- Story of Cromwell 13th November 1937
One day Cromwell was looking for priests. He found one in a house in Danesfort, where John Kenny lived. The priest was saying Mass and John was serving him. When Cromwell saw this he was very angry and said "Turn a round or I will kill you." But the priest paid no heed to the order, Cromwell gave the order three times, But the priest would not turn. When the end of Mass came, the priest turned and said "You can kill me now if you like." But Cromwell said "I will not kill you, because you are a brave man."
