LONDON, July Silt is worthy Of note
that rumor prevailed In the n ationallst cir
cles IN London on Sunday night last that
James Carey had been shot; an item stating
that he had been killed was rendered to the
news agency in Lo.don at midnight and re
fused, as no authority was given for the
statement. 1t has since been ascert aimed
that telegram was received at Paris from
Brindsi which was forwarded to London on
Sunday night, reading as follows: flames
Carey has been shot, thank God"
As the steamer Melrose, on which Carey
was shot, did not reach Port Elizabeth until
Monday, either this statement was based on
mere surmise or the statement which was
openly made in Nationalist circles TO the e.
feet that 1t had been prearranged to kill
| Carey on the last Sunday In July was true.
Unauthenticated rumors are current that
| O'Donnell is relative of Joe Brady, one Of
the Phnniz Park murderers hanged recently,
and that the vigilantes are cognizant of the
abode of Peter Carey.
A fund is being collected in London to be
used in defending o'Donnell.
