Big Cathedral Thronged. , A small crowd stood silently with bared head as the 'cortege slipped away in the thick mist, the watchers then quietly dispersing. The prog ress to the cathedral was without incident, but throngs of people over flowed the spacious, edifice and lined the streets awaiting the party at St. George's.

The verdict was that the deceased had died from heart failure due to a dilated heart and acute delirium fol lowing scurvy, which was due to ex haustion from prolonged refusal to take food. Arreat Declared Illegal. Solicitor MacDonald sought to ques tion Mrs. MacSwiney about the charges upon which her husband was arrested. The coroner objected, say ins he did not desire the inquiry to go beyond the cause of death.' Mr. MacDonald said the family regarded the death as the result of the lord mayor's arrest and courtmartial. "He went on a hunger strike the day he was arrested, as they had no right to arrest him; it was an offense against the laws of the Irish repub lic," replied Mrs. MacSwiney spiritedly to' another of Solicitor Macdonald'e questions. Dr. Griffiths, the senior medical of ficer of the prison, said he began at tending MacSwiney September 1. He was then weak and had certain signs of tuberculosis in the chest, added the physician. Dr. Griffiths read from a book in which he had noted a history of the case. He said the prisoner had con stantly refused food all the time he was In prison; that his body had de teriorated SlOWly, SCUrw dnrlnnlno October 11 and the patient becoming worse until he had an attack of acute delirium on October 20, growing very restive and requiring two officers to hold him in bed.

"Then, between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morn. ing of October 25. I was called to him "I found his breathing labored and nis puise teeble and quick he ob viously was in a very critical unHi. tion.

The murder of William Ryan in . the same neighborhood on the same night by the same gang who visited several houses was also singularly brutal.
