“Two men named Gilbeaney who were horse dealers were going to a fair late one night.”
Two men named Gilheany who were horse dealers were going to a fair late one night. As they were passing by a graveyard they heard noise in it."One of the men said we will go in." The other man agreed to go in. They were going through the graveyard, and they saw two men cutting the hand off a dead body. The Gilheany men told them to put back the body, or they would tell on them. Then the men put back the body.If these men had to get the hand and keep it in their houses they would be able to get everyone of their neighbours butter.
