Throngs Pray at Jails. BELFAST, Aug. 22. Rioting was In progress tonight at Llsburn as a re sult of the assassination today of In spector Swanzy. An attempt was made to wreck the shop of a Sinn Fein leader within 40 yards of the rceue of the killing and only the in tervention by Ulster volunteers pre vented it.

The crowds started out to burn the houso of every nationalist in Lis burn. Police Patrol Is Ambushed. . Boards were wrenched from win dows and fire raiders entered build ings to complete their destruction. 1h fire brigade declined to inter fere and the Belfast brigade showed reluctance to respond. A renewal of trouble was feared. A police patrol was ambuscaded at Dundalk. One constable was killed and two wounded. Last night large crowds assembled outside the Cork jail and prayed for the hunger strikers there. Inspector Swanzy, against whom a verdict of wilful murder was given by a coroner's jury in connection with the assassination of Mayor MacCur tain in March, was shot while en route to his home from church at Listourn. to which town he had been trans ferred after the finding of the cor oner's jury. The congregations were leaving all the Protestant churches and converging on the scene of the shooting. At the corner of Railway street three armed men with rifles confront ed Swanzy and fired on him in the presence of his family. Swanzy fell, but the assassins dis charged their weapons again into his body. Commandant Makes Dash. Captain Woods, commandant of the Llsburn branch of the Ulster volun teers, made a dash for the assassins, although armed only with a stick. The assassins fired, a bullet shatter ing the stick in Woods' hand. He was not injured. The trio then fired at other per sona, but without effect, and jumped into a waiting taxicab and, driving toward Belfast, escaped. The verdict at the MacCurtain in quest was that Premier Lloyd George, Viscount French, lord-lieutenant of Ireland, and others, including Swanzy, were guilty of murder. In some quarters the belief was expressed the shooting was an at tempt to intimidate the government in connection with the incarceration of Lord Mayor MacSweeny of Cork. Police Sergeant Thomas Craddock was shot dead in King street Satur day night. This was the third killing of a policeman Saturday.
