iaries disguised as members OF the
Irish republican army, held up the
postoffice at Kilkenny. They gagged

twenty bags Of mail, stole the money
and threw the letters into the river.
A cadet confessed to having slain
Father Griffin in County Galway, and
said a certain officer stood by and
afterward buried tho body in a bog
The latter officer Is now alleged to
occupy a position OF responsibility.
Gen. Crozier alleges that a former
member of an auxiliary division Who
threatened to expose circumstances
under which three men were killed
At Kilialoe while endeavoring to es-
cape" was squared" by the Irish
government.
He also declares that in the Drum
