    (continued from previous page)
    knew that it was a trap door. The weight of a person's body caused the trapdoor to open and whoever lay on the bed fell into a tunnel beneath it. The herd took his gun and shot four men who entered the room. On hearing the shots the rest ran away. The herd told the police what had happened and they found all the rich man's servants in the hidden tunnel beneath the bed. All the people who ran away were caught and hanged.
