London, Sept 13. - Terence Nc
Swiney lord mayor of Cork, was in
state Of collapse and exhaustion
this morning at Brixton prison, where

This is the 32nd day of his fast.
McSwiney passed bad and restless
night, according to a bulletin issued
early today by the Irish Self-Determ-

Mrs McSwiney. wife of the lord
mayor, together with his sisters,
Mary and Annie. and his brother,
Sean. have made an appeal to the
American ambassador and to heads
of other embassies. and legations in
London for submission to their gov

case Of the lord mayor and that Of
the eleven hunger strikers at Cork,
and expresses the hope that the united
councils of the nations addressed will
prevent the tragedy now pending and
thereby calm the peoples of the
world"
The letter deals fully with Mayor
McSwiney's case from the date of his
arrest to the present time, and says:
THE lord mayor, McCurtain. was
murdered for the same reason. for
which Lord Mayor McSwiney is be-
ing murdered now--because he was

of grave concern for all governments.
