This photograph of Liberty Hall, with the defiance of the British government, was taken some months ago. The hall was the
headquarters of the followers of Jim l<arkin, the agitator, who was in the United States not long ago. From here the rebels spread
through Dublin. At the right is a company of “ l^irkin's Citizenry Soldiers.” They are probably the men concerned in the cap­
ture of the postoffice, under the direction of the Sinn Fein Society. The hall was taken by the British at the cost of eleven lives.
