    Chuaidh siad ag lorg a bhfhoirtiúin annsin. Tráthnóna an lá sin agus iad i bhfad ó bhaile tháinig siad go dtí áit a raibh fear marbh ar an mbóthar. D'fanadar ag féachaint air gur tháinig na Gárdaí. Nuair a tháinig na Gárdaí. "Who killed this man?" ar siad.
    "We three" arsan dearbhráthair ba sine aca.
    "Why?" arsan Gárda.
    "For the want of money" arsan dara fear.
    "You will all be hanged, " arsan Gárda.
    "All right", arsan tríomhadh fear.
    Tógadh an triúr annsin agus cuireadh an dlighe orra. Daoradh chun bháis iad. Sin é an bhail a chuaidh ar amadáin an Bhéarla.
