IRISH COUNTESS
is IN PRISON
Appeal Made to Premier Lloyd George
for Release of Woman Who
is Locked m
Cell.

UNITED Press Leased Wire SerYfce.l
PARIS, June 21.-Frank Walsh and
Edward Dunno have written letter
to Premier Lloyd George, asking him
to intervene in behalf of Countess
Markievicz, imprisoned in Ireland,
alleging she was arrested on incense
quential charges for furnishing them
with information regarding atrocities
outlined in their recent report.
The letter, which referred to troops
in ireland as the English army of
occupation" declared the countess is
a member of the Irish parliament
and minister of labor IN the Irish
cabinet. It stated the countess health
is not robust and expressed fear that
the harshness of jail life might re-
suit in her death. Seven reasons
were given for the belief that her
arrest was an act of reprisal, one
being that she has evidence "of GER
tain unspeakable outrages, the details
of which have not yet been published,
which we intend TO submit to the
commission of inquiry when 1t Is
selected by the peace conference"
Another was that during their In
vestigations in Ireland, the countess
is alleged to have been Swallowed by
British spies and direct threats made
against her.
