Patriot Thanks Irish Through

He is in pain. Iie got but little

With both the government and the
hunger striker determined to follow
their courses to the end, a renewed
interest is taken in the question OF
whether his death will constitute n
suicide. Two weeks ago 1t was
academic. Now 1t Is real.

MacSwincy today will send the fol-
lowing message on behalf of himself
and tho hunger strikers in Cork Jail
to Irishmen throughout the world.

by world of masses and prayers.
II believe God has directly inter-

for divine purpose OF His own. 1t
is Incredible that the people of Eng

end. think that God Is giving them
their last chance to pause and con-

Miss Mary MacSwiney. sister of
the hunger striker. hotly affirmed
that the death--and she speaks of it
with the certainty that 1t will occur
lis not suicide-not any more
than the death of tho leader of a
forlorn hope on battlefield is a
suicide. She said: ~
Greater love than this no man
hath. that a man lay down his life
for his friend.'
Surely this quotation from the
lips OF our Divine Master Is answer
enough to those who would refuse
the sacrament TO those in danger of
death from hunger striking.

Inc only other important develop-

Examiner Norris that the only nm
identified body. that of a blond
haired boy about 10. may be that OF
the driver OF the death wagon"
which was abandoned near the ASSAY
Office just before the explosion took
place, and which is believed to have
carried the time bomb that caused
tho disaster. Seven "identi1catlons,.
OF the body were made during the
day. but all proved to be- erroneous,
upon investigation.
Victim Is Suspected.
The belief that he was one OF tho
plotters OF the explosion, Is gaining
greater credence hourly.
Medical Examiner Norris said to-
day that the fact that the face OF
the last victim Is comparatively un-
touched lends substance to this be-
lief. Other victims with faces all
most entirely obliterated, were quick
ly identified by relatives. There is
theory that the victim was a
stranger in the cay or person en-
