the seventy second day of his hun
ger strike in Brixton prison. The

"the home office has placed an

phone for communicating news to

The home office explained the
denial of admission to the lord

to the belief that their visits inter-
fered with the careful nursing
which the prisoners extremely del
icate condition required.
