turer instead of viewing the situa-
tidn with alarm" chuckied and added
few hundred per cent on the price

over police uniforms. These men fired
into the car and roughly elected all the
messengers. tined them up in side street
at the point of the rifle and searched
them.
Father MacSwiney's gold watch and
money were taken. he said. and one OF
the men, when the raiders discovered the
priest, exclaimed Now we've got one
OF those fellows who have been advising

ment, TO hell with the Pope when they
promised to let me off. Then. finding no
means with which to write, they pushed
