    Franey thinking he had a great haul, went down after it and no sooner had he done so when the steward jumped from his own tired horse and on to Franeys horse and went on his way as hard as he could.
    A large amount of moeny was discovered in the lining of Franeys saddle. So Franey had the worst of that. He made some great escapes during his life but was caught in the end and hanged.
