    He was married six times and each woman he married he quarrelled with them first and then threw them into the cave. The last woman he married he took her to the cave and she begged him to let her say her last prayers. When she knelt down he was walking up and down the side of this hole looking in.
    She crept behind him and pushed him in and that is the reason they call it Kelly's cave.
