    Andrew Thomas and Harmn were chasd by the yeoman in Castle Kevin. Andrew Thomas was wounded and Harmon went into a house, the people ran out of the house, and the yeos surrounded the house and were going to burn it down. They told Harmon that Andrew Thomas was dead and he would not believe them, then they showed him his gun and he knew it, he gave himself up then and they brought him to prison to Rathdrum and executed him there.
