f DUBLIN, September ls.-The police
report OF the alleged attempt TO blow
up the hunting lodge of Lord Asiitown.
near Clonmel. August 18th. is published
this morning. 1t maintains that the
fuse was lighted from outside the
house, and that the bomb was prepared
in the lodge. The bomb was made from
a pot that once had been used in the
lodge. The police also say they We're
kept in ignorance of Lord Ashtown's
arrival home; that the. dogs had been
tied up; that no entrance was effecsed
from the outside. and that the window
at which the explosion occurred must
have been open when the bomb was
fired.
This report, coming from such an un-

that Lord Ashtown is the head of an
