Free State Executes
z Rebels as ReprisaI
for Killing of Hales
New Irish Government Lays Heavy Hand Upon
Irregulars Following Assassination OF Dali
Member; Insurgents Caught During Four
Courts Raid; Labor Members Are Stirred.

Dublin. Dec. S.-(By The Associated
! Press. THE hand of the Free State
government fell heavily Friday upon
four more recalcitrant republicans.
Roderick (Rory) O'Connor, and
General Liam Mellowes, two noted
leaders Of the irreconcilables, and Jo-
seph McKelyey and Richard Barrett,
lesser lights in the fight against the
constituted authority, were executed
in Mount Joy prison Mt $40 o'clock
Friday morning, under the decree OF
court martial hastily summoned to try
them Thursday night.
The official report issued after the
executions said the men had been put
to death as a reprisal for the assassl-
nation in Dublin on Thursday morning
of Sean Hales. a member of the dali,
and "as solemn warning to those
associated with them in the conspiracy
of assassination against representatives
of the Irish people"
No official account of how the men
met their doom has been forthcoming,
but it is possible they were hanged, as
it is reported O'Connor had to be as
sisted to the scaffold. Three priests
were present to give the men religious
consolation before they died.
Caught at Four Courts.
All four men were captured when
the Four Courts building which had
been seized by the republicans, was
taken by the government after heavy
fighting last June. O'Connor and Mel
loves were two of the prime leaders
in the seizure and barricading of the
building and holding it for days against
the government forces.
The execution of the four men, ad-
mittedly as reprisal for the assassi-
nation of Mr. Hales. shocked Dublin
less by reason of the deaths OF men
who had helped to carry on the armed
revolt than because of the announce
ment that they had been executed in
reprisal.
Although many friends Of the gov
crnment express the fear that its new
policy of quick action against male
factors will only aggravate the situa-
ton, madden the republicans and bring
about a state of absolute anarchy, the
Free State parliament Friday gave its
support to the government after a
heated debate which was provoked by
protests from the labor party against
the summary executions of the morn

that Great Britain and the United

suggestion that Germany use at least
half the proceeds of the loan to pay
