refused to leave. Shortly after 10
o'clock they were put out by force.
"Mrs. MacSwiney was allowed lo bo
with her husband a little more than
an hour. This extra strain and the
fatigue placed on her has brought on

gun on August 12 when, with ten of

was captured outside. He was taken
to the military barracks and came
up for trial August 16. The court-
