Dublin, Dec. s Within less
 than 24 hours after Republican
 assassins had shot down Deputy
 Speaker Patrick O'MaIlcy, of the
 DaiI Eireann, and Deputy John
 (Sean) HaIeS, four of the most
 prominent Republican irregular
 eaders in custody, headed by
 Roderick C'Rory' OConnOr,
 were executed by a Free State
 firing squad today
 In addition to O'COnnor, who
 was commander in chief Of the
 Republican irrcgulars ill the bat
 tie of Dublin last June. William
 MeIIOweS, former right hand
 man of Eamonn de Valera, and
 Richard Barrett and Joseph Me
 keIyey were put to death.
 Secretly Tried.
 The four prisoners had been arr raigned secret before a Free State court martial Thursday night and sentenced to death. At dawn this morning they were taken into the yard of Mount Joy Prison where they faced a firing squad.
 As the soldiers were putting handkerchief across MeIlOwes' eyes he waved them aside.
 ''I want no bandages," he said.
 All went to their death bravely.
 Three Catholic priests were present at the execution, praying beside the doomed men until the blast of the file fire drowned their voices.
 He SA6CuIIOnS utl BndSJlY oIS- ments that ordinarily would have broken the strongest nerve. The graves had already been dug in the jail yard for the immediate interment clans officially pronounced life ex- tinct.
 Doomed Men See Graves.
 The four condemned men were de- tained briefly and as they were led to the scene of death they Lad to pass the freshly dug gtaves.
 The firing sqUafd alr1ady was on the scene when thE qua%ette were led forth The soldifrs Taited, rifles in hand while handkercIiefs were bound over the men's eyes.
 While news of the executions created a sensation the city remained calm.
 Several attempts had been made to free O'Connor from prison by his Re publican friends on the outside but all had met with failure
 During the morning rumors were circulated throughout the city that O'Connor and three companions had been executed, and they created much excitement. It was not until after noon that the Free State military council issued an official statement at Porto Bello barracks confirming the executions.
 O'Connor and MeIIowes had spee- tacu1ar careers. They were formerly aggressive members of the Sim Fein group, switching to the Republican side with De Valera when the Anglo Irish treaty was signed.
 It is again rum Ored that the arrest of De Valera is imminent.
 Dublin and London Stirred.
 News of the execution created a sensation in both Dublin and London The Free State has been in official existence less than 50 hours.
 Both O'COnnOr and MeIIcwes Jofn- ed EamOnn De Valera when the latter broke away from the Sim Fein group ast spring and declared war in favor of an Irish republic. Meuowes was known as "De Valera's right hand man."
 Both O'Connor and Mel1owcs were with the irreguar troops that held Four Courts building in Dublin in the terrific battle that ragged in that city the last week in June.
