    Long ago, there was a man whose name was John Cross he lived at Frankford-Bridge Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan. One night when he was going out on his Céilidhe he was killed. It was thought he was killed by Brennan. The murder was committed at the White House Castleblaney Co. Monaghan. Nobody found out for certain who killed him so Brennan got off. This was about 50 years ago.
