She showed remarkable self-possession and was an excellent witness, telling her story with a dignified eagernecs.
 ''Is it true, that the women of Ire land have steeled themselves so much for their cause that weeping is un- known ?" Senator David J. Walsh of Massachusetts, asked when the direct testimony was over. t
 "Oh, I never cried,'' was the re- ply.
 Mrs. Macswiney's accounts of the numerous arrests of her husband his efforts on behalf of a free Irish nation and the actions of the British government in attempting to throttle Irish development' were punctuated alternately, by applause and sobs by her hearers 5F @ { Mrs. MacSwiney told of her mar ria.ge to the late Lord Mayor in Eng land in. 1907, just after her husband had been released from a prison was born while it's. father was in Jail in Belfast, and how she daily carried the child to visit the father in prison.

 AS hunger wore down the Lord Mayors strength, Mrs. MacSwiney said he s'absolutely radiated peace F T knew my husband was happy she declared and never, never would interfere with my husband in a matter of conscience. It was his choice. It was the decision of his spirit"
 Her husband exactedz a promise from her,sMrs. tMacSwiney said, that she would not insist thai he take food. The prison officials, however, said until the prisoner became uncon- scious,. when they would give him food, Mrs. MacSwiney declared.

 That she exclaimed, "is the sort of lies they use about everything in connection with Ireland"
 At the end Of the two hours Mrs. NacSWiney paused, looked up and said:
 "So that's all I have to say"
 A few questions put to her elicited the information that while she be- lieves relief is needed to aid the hun gry and i'll in Ireland, she believes recognition of the Irish Republic is equally necessary.
