- Protestants lived in Rath house. They had a Catholic servant girl. The girl used to go to Communion fairly often. The boss told her to bring home the Communion until he would see it. She brought it home under her hat. When they brought it home the boss cut it three times and the third time it started to bleed.
They got frightened and sent for the priest. The priest came and asked did they cut it three times and they said they did.
He said he could not save them and they were drowned in blood.
