    The girl was asked to point out the man she had seen strike down the priest, but as there was about a dozen men gathered together, amongst whom was Slye, she had a hard task as she had got a glimpse of the murder in the dark. She picked out two men however, one was Slye the other a man very like Slye who was wearing Slyes clothes.
    As she was not able to make her mind up about it the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty against Slye when he was charged.
    Slye went to America and died there some years ago.
    A monument was erected to the memory of Father Walshe at the spot where he was killed. And it was unveiled last Summer.
