CORK, Nov TERRENCE MacSwi-
ney's career was at an end today.
His remains lay in an exalted section
of the beautiful Cork cemetery, the
grave covered by masses OF flowers.
Tho burial of the former lord
mayor Of Cork. after all the threats
and fears that have been spread, took
place quietly yesterday-only the
thousands of spectators showed the
services differed from tho ordinary
burial
Today these crowds had melted
! away. The military still kept sharp
watch against surprise attack, but
much of the tension was relaxed The
spirit of all yesterday was SO plainly
for the avoidance Of the disturbance
that officials were greatly relieved.
Soldiers and police were in evi-
dence at the funeral services. Their
military equipment peeped from ar
mored cars and from their own gar
nents. Soldiers weaved their way
through the crowds, watching always
for any suspicious act. None was
discovered. When the casket finally
was borne from the cathedral, sol
/ diers and police sprang stiffly to at
tentien until the body, resting on the
shoulders of six pallbearers, had
passed.
Guards were strung all the way
from the cathedral to the cemetery
three miles. In addition, the mobile
forces on motorcycles and in lorries
patrolled the entire distance.
The procession was held within the
quarter of mile length as demanded
by the government, but there was no
limiting the thousands who lined the
streets through which the casket
passed.
An archbishop ard two bishops
conducted the services over Mac
Swjney's body. Uniforms Of the Sim
Fein were excluded from the services,
but the Irish volunteers acted as an
honorary guard over the casket.
SQUAD fired a final salute over the
grave after soldiers and police had
disappeared. An airplane flew over
the procession, dropping flowers in
it's path.
Young Irisman Hanged.
DUBLIN, Nov. 1.-Kelvin Barry, 10
year old student, was hanged here to-
day for alleged completely in the muir
der of three British soldiers.
Barry's sentence stood despite the
intercession of high Sim Fein and
church officials, who petitioned the

last night as final effort, but the
premier said he could not interfere,
Arch Bishop Walsh joined in the Pc
titien. .a
| Barry received communion this
morning in Mount Joy prison, appar
emily taking great comfort from the
words of the priest. He walked
calmly to the scaffold without the as
sistance of his guards and stood un
flinchingly while final preparations
were made for the dropping of the
trap.
