LONDON. Aug. S.-Dublin Castle
apparently scored a gricvous error
when IL announced that John i Nc
Krown. Sim Fcin commandant con-
vicied of murder. would not be re-
leased with The other Dali Eircann
members.
The error was Immediately cor
rected by the instant release of the
prisoner, but there is Il tendency
here 10 blame the Castle for a bluuder
which infuriatcd large number of
Irish Republicans and very nearly
jeopardized the peace proceedings.
Ii is generally conceded that Me-
kcown's release has amcliorated the
trouble. and that the incident is now
closed.
The quandary in which Dublin Cas-
tie found itself was due TO uncer-
tainty as to whether the govern
ment's orders for the general Iibero-
ton of Dali Eireann members should
include one convicted OF murder.
Rather than take a chance and order
Mckeown's release. the Castle chose
TO consult the highest authorities be-
fore reaching Il decision
IL is understood. as well, that the
weli-authcnticat reputation OF
commandant Mckcown for acts of
chiralry and Kindness to wounded
auNiliarics. played large part in
influencing the authorities to order
his release.
The Irish generally view the in.
oil a.
the Castle. q mistake that has been
rectified by the British government,
ana therefore not to be charged up
against Lloyd George or the British
workers for peace.
