BRITAIN FREES
JOHN J. NJ 'kE0WN
GULF IN PARLEY
DEAL IS BRIDGED
Inspector McCrath's S Slayer
Let Go at Order Of Lloyd
George

London, Aug. s. Try the Associated
Press. Tho threatened break In furth-
er peace negotiations between the Brit
ish government and the Sim Fetn In
Ireland was bridged today through the
release from prison Of John J. Mckeown
by order OF David Lloyd George. the
British premier. on representations
from Eamonn De VALERA. the Irish Re
publican leader.
McKeown was In prison under con-
victIon for the murder Of Chief 1nspec.
tor McGarth. Al the other members or
the Sim Fein parliament under detcn-
tion had been released. but the author
tiles Of Dublin Castle had rcfused to set
McKeown free. This fact had deeply
stirred the Irish people. who claimed
that McKeovn should be accorded the
same immunity as had been granted the
other Republicans
A special courier sent by the Irish
Republican cabinet today delivered to
Mr. Lloyd George In Paris. where he Is
attending the supreme council mes
sage on the situation.
Dublin despa tches quoted Mr.. De VAL
era, as saying he did not believe that
exception made In OBTAINING Mckeown
represented the considered action or the
British cabinet. but that It was due to
the action Of the governmental subor-
dinates in Ireland who were proceeding
under technicalities. He also Is said
to have announced that he would not
continue peace negotiations with tho
British government II the government
persisted In holding Mckeown In prts-
on. Shortly afterwards word came from
Paris that II had been decided to set
McKeown free.
In London the incident Is considered
n victory for the Sim Fein. The gem
eral belief Is, however, that the Dublin
Castle officials acted without consult
Ing the London government when they
issued their notice that Mckeown could
not be released, and that the London
government In the Interest of peace
overruled them.
