suit was that $50 men, fully armed
and with motor Iorries, petrol, hand
grenades and trench bombs, arrived
in Balbriggan at midnight.
Then hell broke loose in Balbrig-
gan. Thirty-five of the principal
houses and stores of the little town
were blown to atoms, and the Bal
briggan hosiery factory on the out
skirts of the town was burned to
the ground. This factory employed
several hundred people, mostly
girls.
The house of Mr.. Gibbon, a young
farmer. who resided with his widow
ed mother and three sisters, two of
whom were invahdated, was visited.
Gibbons got out of bed and opened
the door; then the visitors rushed
upstairs. Gibbons asked permission
to take an invalid sister, who was
sitting at the top of the stairs,
away. She had lost her crutches in
the excitement.
One of the demons said, wen
attend to her." then pushed her
with his foot, threw her to the bot
tom OF the stairs, whore she was
trampled upon.
Gibbons was dragged across the
street to the police station, where he
was asked to tell all he knew about
the Sim Fem movement in the
town. He denied knowing anything.
He was prodded with bayonets and
begged Of his tormentors to be men !;
TO put down their rifles, unite his
hands, and that he would fight
them three at d time.
Instead they battered his face
with the butt ends of rifles and FL
nally struck him a heavy blow on
the back of the head, which dazed
him and put him out of his misery
as far as pain was concerned. Some
time later they dragged him to che
street and round the corner about
100 yards away and put a bayonet
through his body.
The body was left there until day
Hight. was taken to the spot and
saw the blood marks.
About the same time that Gibbons
was dragged out another gang went
to the house OF Mr.. Lawless. Law
less rushed down In his bare feet to
open the door and he was dragged
into the street. He asked permits
sion to go back and put ON his shoes
and the reply was, You'll need no
shoes by the time we are through
with you" And they made good
their word.
Lawless was tied by the arms to
two BLACK and Tans" and the Fro
cess OF making him confess was re-
sorted to. His wife and eight chill
dren. and his mother. eighty-two
wears of age. were brought down 10
witness the performance. Two Of
his children we're suffering from
measles. The poor old mother had
to witness the spectacle. and ruff
fian standing by sad "Now. you old
-, see your beautiful sonl Why
don't his Sim Fem friends come out
and rescue h'm?"
He too was taken to the station
house and was put ont OF his misery
about o'clock IN the morning by
driving a bayonet through his throat
and sever'ng the windpipe.

Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1920-11-20

there are only three daily papers in
the country that, up to that time,
had published the facts of the de-
struction of LIFE and property.
The news was camouflaged so that
ii would appear that 1t was the Sim
Feiners who were doing the destruc-
ton.
On my first arrival in Dublin
had been introduced by Mr.. Fred
DeMont, the American Consul, to
Colonel wilson, of the Intelligence
Department of the Government.
That afternoon called on the Gen.
eral at Military Headquarters and
discussed the Irish situation with
the General and members of his
staff, including Chief Inspector
Smyth, of the Royal Irish Constabu-
larry and a Major who previous to
the war had served for twenty years
with the British Army in India.
The discussion, at some points,
was rather heated. At one point of
the argument Inspector Smyth told
me that the life of a policeman was
worth the life of any four men in
Ireland, and the gentleman from In
dia stated that the only cure for
Sim Feinism was to take them out,
Line them up against a wall and
shoot them.
The General was more guarded in
his conversation, though he adj
mitted that II was the duty OF the
police and military to shoot down
everybody who was connected with
what he termed "the murder gang"
From Dublin l went to Balbrig-
gan. The murders and destruction
In that town are probably the worst
that have occurred anywhere in Ire
land during the past few years.
Three or four truckloads of.
BLACK and Tans' came into the
city about o'clock one afternoon.
They took charge Of a liquor store
and drank and caroused for several
hours, and as they got edrunk they
got out in the streets fighting
among themselves and battered each
other with bottles and glasses.
This was kept up until evening,
when they shot Mr.. Burke, their
own Inspector. and also his brother,
Sergeant Burke.
Those of them who were the less
intoxicated sought to put the blame
OF the murders on the Sim Feiners.
OF course It was impossible for the.
Sim Feiners to do It. as the streets
were full OF BLACK and Tans."
However, the BLACK and Tans"
withdrew and went to Gormanstown,
eight miles away. the training camp
OF the BLACK and Tans."
/ might here say that Germans

field in Ireland. and when the Amer
leans withdrew they left the field.

British Government. who turned It
into a training camp and school for
the BLACK and Tans" recruited In
England. It is not known what
numbers of them have been sent
there, but according to a Scotland
the month OF September last.
Those who went down to Baibrig-
gan that evening reported that the
inspector and sergeant had been
murdered by Slim Feiners The re-
