A notorious trouble-maker stirred congregation a good fight left over fifty dead, many maimed coffin man had slipped away safely from the riot demand for coffins shot up as customers lined-up With many trouble-makers in tombs, exile, prison The controversial blessings made the priest a hero but coffin man was happy and a devoted faithful wealth through tears of neighbors worried him not “Sainthood, sainthood, let the priest be beautified;” Coffin man could shout every night in sleep!
