And who told you to come here?" "Who towld me, is ut? Who but the payler outside in the street below! I explained to 'um, an' sez he: 'Ah, you go an' take a slape, sez he; 'you go an' take a good slape, an' they'll be all gone whin ye wake up. 'But they'll murdher me, sez I. 'Oh, no! sez he, smilin' behind av his ugly face.
All his strength appeared to have departed from him; he stood, as if hesitating, and even energy necessary to stand seemed to be the result of an effort. "Remember," said Darby, pulling out the large crucifix which was attached to his heads, "that the eye of God is upon you. If you've committed the murdher, thrimble; if not, Frank, you've little to fear in touchin' the corpse."
"No!" replied Hanlon with indifference; "it is not to rob the Grange. I believe you know something about the man they call the Black Prophet?" "Donnel Dhu? Why ahem! a little not much. Nobody, indeed, knows or cares much about him. However, like most people, he has his friends and his enemies." "Don't you remember a murdher that was committed here about two-and-twenty-years ago?" "I do."
May our curse light upon you this day! the curse, I say, of the widow and the orphans, that your bloody hand has made us, may it blast you! May you, and all belonging to you wither off of the 'airth! Night and day, sleeping and waking like snow off the ditch, may you melt, until your name and your place be disremimbered, except to be cursed by them that will hear of you and your hand of murdher!
But it was diff'rint wid the others, an' why I cannot say, excipt that some men are borrun mane an' go to dhirty murdher where a fist is more than enough. Afther a whoile, they changed their chune to me an' was desp'rit frien'ly all twelve av thim cursin' O'Hara in chorus. "Eyah," sez I, "O'Hara's a divil an' I'm not for denyin' ut, but is he the only man in the wurruld? Let him go.
This sacred thing that I put the crass upon people's breast wid, saves people from hangin' an' unnatural deaths. Frank spoke to me last night, no longer ago, to come up an' mark it an' him to-morrow. My opinion is, that he intinded to murdher him at that time, an' wanted to have a protection agin what might happen to him in regard o' the black deed."
"How do I know what I think? I'm no combination iv chemist, doctor, osteologist, polisman, an' sausage-maker, that I can give ye an opinion right off th' bat. A man needs to be all iv thim things to detarmine annything about a murdher trile in these days. This shows how intilligent our methods is, as Hogan says.
To which Hanlon replied, that "he had been thinkin' about that, an' had some talk, this mornin', wid a man that's livin' a long time indeed, that was born a little above the place, an' he says that the Black Prophet, or M'Gowan, did not come to the neighborhood till afther the murdher."
It was he first opened the subject, as they sat together over their frugal meal. "Ellen," said he, "sence I saw you last, I wint through a dale ov hardship; an' I little thought, on my return, that I'd be accused ov so black a crime." "Och, shure enough, Owen darlint; but I hope it 'ill be all for the best. I little thought I'd see the day that you'd be suspected ov murdher."
'Show it here, Tim; 'let me look, cried two or three neighbours, getting round as quickly as they could. 'Oh! murdher; said one. 'Oh! be the powers o' Moll Kelly! cried another. 'Oh! bloody wars! exclaimed a third. 'That poor fellow got no chance for his life at all, at all! said Tim.
