M'SWINEY CASE
WILL BE SOLVED
BY DEATH ONLY
BY WEEP MILLER
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

LONDON, Oct. 15.-Death only can
or will prove definitely whether Ter
ence MacSwiney is fasting his life
away or whether he is taking nour-
ishment in the hope that some turn
Of fate will release him from prison
without making him a laughing
stock.
A personal investigation at Brixon
prison, where the lord mayor Of Cork
today began his sixty-fourth day of
fasting, yielded this information:
Friends and relatives vehemently
declared that the only sustenance
given MacSwiney has been thin
cracker each morning In communion.
Prison officials and attaches of the
home Office refused to talk, declaring
it is the policy Of the government to
maintain silence. Irish office officials
admitted, however, that if the gov
eminent were able to explain evil
dence of feeding they doubtless would
be glad to announce it to the world
in the hope of belittling the mayor.
Meanwhile a controversy RACES
Millions Of British people, in the alb
sence of compelling evidence either
way, believe the lord mayor is taking
food. They do not believe man suf-
fering from lung trouble could have
lasted beyond all authentic records
with nothing more than a wafer, hot
water and salt solutions.
Aside from the three prison ply
stcianS and half dozen nurses only
ten persons are known to have seen
MacSwiney. Five of these were rela-
tives and the other were Sir Norman
Moore, eminent physician, who exam
ined the prisoner at the request of
relatives; Art O'Brien, the bishop of
Cork; Archbishop Mannix and Father
Fogarty. All these, with the excep-
to say under oath that no morsel of
food had been taken by MacSwiney.
Moore refused to comment.
A heavy police guard halts news
paper men at the gate of Brixton
prison. 1 was unable to cajole them
terror. At the home office 1 was re-
ceived courteously, but with the i'm
perturbable statement that nothing
could be said regarding MacSwiney.
There was no explanation except that
it was the policy of the govern
ment.'
