A curious barren mound is to be seen
in Montgomery churchyard. What
ever the cause. there is plainly to be
seen a strip of sterility In the form OF
a cross among a mass of verdure.
With the mound a melancholy legend
is connected. 1t is called Roberts
Grave" and the story is that beneath
this barren hillock lie the remains of
an innocent man who was hanged on
mistaken evidence. 1t is said that
while the man stood on the gallows
with the rope round his neck he SOL
emnly declared. as a proof OF his inno-
cence. that grass should never grow on
his grave. And even so II was and is.
Any one who attempts to frustrate the
fufllment Of this prophecy by sowing
grass on this spot pays the penalty
with his life. Instances are given OF
individuals who have been rash enough
to do so and have met their doom soon
