the charge Of having seditious doc

eleven Sim Feiners in jail at Cork

Sim Feiners threatened to engulf

MacSwfney were allowed to die in

upon the British government.
Crowds, muttering ominous threats,
paced the streets about Brixton Jail.
Political sympathizers in various sec

harass the government if their cham
pion were allowed to die with the stig-
ma of Imprisonment upon his memory.
The wife and sisters Of MacSwiney
pleaded in vain. A brother, Peter

New York to pay a final visit.

Incidents of modern British history.
MacSwiney's tenacious battle for life,
while he was slowly starving himself
to death, resulted in persistent rumors
that he was being clandestnely fed,
but this was officially denied in the
House Of Commons by Sir Hamar
Greenwood, chief secretary for Ire
land, on October 10Th. News of the
death Of Fitzgerald seemed to have a
depressing effect upon MacSwmey.
His weakness was more marked from
that time.
On October 18th it was thought
that the Lord Mayor had a slight
cold. This was followed by the state
ment that symptoms of scurvy had
developed. On the following day a
special physician was called to con-
suit with the Brixton Jail surgeons.
MacSwiney was arrested in Cork on

To build these facilities will cost 1894, 10000
The Company has no money with which to
construct these facilities.
