   There was a man named John Smullan who worked for a family called Lowes. This man wanted to catch the priest that was in the parish. He told the workman to pretend to be sick, and he sent for the priest. When the priest came, the Lowes wanted to capture the priest, but he told them to wait until he would attend the sick man. He went to the room and the man who pretended to be sick got really sick and died. When the priest came out of the room he was captured. He was put on a horse and a rope was tied around his neck
