TRAMPLED TO DEATH.

The crowd at the first shot was in
confusion. Exits were blocked and
men fought women in their efforts
to avoid the fire Of sfnn Fein pickets
and the police. A man and a woman
were trampled to death as the six
thousand persons surged backward
and forward, fighting for safety
Seventy were injured there. Most
OF them were hurt in the crowds
scrimmaging. A few suffered bullet
wounds The Irish office said docu
ments OF great value were taken from
prisoners seized in the encounter.
The officials attacked in the morn.
ing raids were all connected actively
in the search for Sim Fein leaders
and documents, or participants in
courtmartiais.
Increased activity against the Sim
Fein movement recently has resulted
in the compilation Of a great mass
OF documents, and the raids were be-
lieved to have been conducted to re-
gain some of that evidence as we'll
as discourage further activity.
Fifteen men held up the Gresham
hotel staff. Some of them examined

KILLED IN BED.
Captain Maccorsnack was surprised
in bed. His wife was standing by.
The captain was shot.
The men rushed to the room Of
Capt l. A. Wilde where four shots
were fired. They left Wilde dead on
the floor.
In lower Baggott street the doors
to Capt. A. p. Newbury's flat were
forced open and raiders filled the
room. Newbury flung off two attack
ers and Ieaped for window, but
bullet stopped him and as the men
departed the captains body hung
Imply over the ledge. His wife stood
by during the shooting.
Mrs. Newbury said the men wore
no disguises and they appeared to be
between twenty and thirty years of
age. They did not search her apart
ment.
In Pembroke street a gang met
Major Bowling and Captain Price as
they were leaving their bedrooms.
They were shot as they stood in the
doorway. Three officers in the party
were wounded.
In Mount street Lieutenants Ames
and Bennett were roughly treated be-
fore being dragged from their rooms
and shot. Similar methods were en-
ployed in the murder of, Captain Nc
Lean and two judiciary officers in
his apartment. The murder parties
quietly left the houses and mingled
with the crowds on the street.
Police captured three men alleged
to have taken active part in the
raids and number of suspects were
taken later.
The city was fairly quiet after the
raids and the holiday crowd began
gathering as usual. The match at

Spanish, French, Belgian and Brit
