field marshal's train was two minutes
ahead of schedule when , it reached
Ashtown station, It was learned today.
The. lord lieutenant's automobile
was fired on from ambush yesterday as
he was motoring from the station to
the vice regal lodge here;
The attackers, according to Informa
tion here, had planned to blockade the
road near Phoenix Park, so Lord
French's automobile would have to be
stoppea. They expected to draw carte
across the road Just before the vice
regal motor car arrived. This clan.
it was said, was frustrated by French's
motor car being ahead of time.
There was a persistent rumor that
French had been wounded but this
could not be verified.
The dead member of the attacklna
park was identified as Martin Savage.
