0'Doherty was, at the time Of the
outbreak of lS4S, young medical
student in Dublin. He was an ac-

organ of the Repealers, in which
the principles Of the party were
most openly and earnestly promul-

furnished rebel verses for the Sedi-

soon after was attracted by herself.

offered virtual pardOn-a merely
nominal sentence-if he would
plead guilty. The young lover sent
for his sweetheart to visit him in his
prison, and informed her Of the
proposition. ut may seem as if |
