Contrast Of Treatnent.
The next painful Irish sensation will
be the execution Of Kelvin barry on
Monday. He was undoubteSG one of
the men attacking a military motor
on September 20. when a soldier was
killed. The Sim Feiners do not dis
, verdict. but Arthur Griffith. in an in
terview yesterday. contrasted the Sim
Fein treatment of captured soldiers as
prisoners of war. from Gen. Lucas
down. with the action of the govern
ment.
The soldier was killed in an open
hght between lads armed with re-
volyers and soldiers armed with rifles.
There is no evidence that Barry fired
the fatal shot He is medical stu
dent. eighteen years old. Though hope
OF a reprieye has not been abandoned,
the authorities are determined to,
hang him. So far nobody has paid the
penalty for killing soldiers. and this
execution is intended as a warning
that under the new regulations pun
ishmeht can reach the perpetrators.
