“Francis (Francie) Kelly was a poet who lived in Liscooly.”
(continued from previous page)5. The police - they were sent for and the news soon spread round and the people were all shocked to hear Bella Brooks was drowned.
The doctor - he was sent for, to drag her to the shore.

And have him tried and punished
For the murder of their child
