London, Aug. 8-While no defi-

the impression was given in Off
cial circles here that he would be
released with the other Sim Fein

It was intimated that the decis-
ion to retain him in prison as an
nounced Saturday came from Dub

Of the British cabinet which had
not rendered a decision in the

Official opinion seems to be that
McKeown should be hanged but
that in the interest of peace the

said he had reached this conclus-
ion after several hours of CONVEX
sation with Burch, but was not
ready to make public the solution
he claimed to have worked out.

Burch and would seek to arrange a
meeting between the latter and

was with Kennedy when the shot
was fired which ended his life in

number of conflicting statements
to be taken up when Los Angeles
was reached. Mrs. Obenchain was
said to have denied she visited
Burch in the rooms he occupied in
Los Angeles overlooking Ken
nedy's office. Burch, according to
Nolan, said Mrs. Obenchain had
visited him in disguise.
The question of the weapon
used also played a prominent fig
ure, according to Nolan. 1t had
