    “There was once an old landlord living in the house in which Michael J. Sheehan is living now.”

    Share Share Post
    There was once an old landlord living in the house in which Michael J. Sheehan is living now. He had a boy working for him. One day he told the servant to bury a pot of gold for him in the garden and to let anybody see him doing it.
    The servant did as he was told to hide the gold and when he had the gold hidden he went in and told the landlord where he hid it. The landlord cut the head off him in such a way as he wouldn't be able to tell any person of it.
