John Lee 'The man they couldn't hang'

On this day in 1885 John Lee was released from Exeter Prison having survived three attempts at hanging him for murder!

The Priest.........................

The first step to wisdom is silence, the second is listening. Proverbs 1:5

An old priest lay dying. He sent a message for an Inland Revenue
Supervisor and his Lawyer to come to the hospital.
When they arrived, they were ushered up to his room. As they
entered the room, the priest held out his hands and motioned for them
to sit on each side of the bed. The priest grasped their hands, sighed
contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no one said
anything.
Both the Inland Revenue Supervisor and The Lawyer were touched and
flattered that the old man would ask them to be with him during his
final moments. They were also puzzled because the priest had never
given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them.

Finally, the Lawyer asked, Father, why did you ask the two of us to
come here? The old priest mustered all his strength, and then said
weakly, Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I'd like to go,
too.
