at the cold bloodedness of the crime.
The Belfast correspondent of the
Times telegraphs his paper that if the
assumption there that the Sim Fem
was responsible shall prove correct,
the situation will at once become one
of extrem gravity. Popular opinion is
already inflamed, he says, the feeling
along the border being if anything
more excited than In Belfast
Sorrow In Dublin.
The Times Dublin correspondent
says the news of the murder was re-
ceivedf there with feelings of sorrow
and almost with despair as coming at
a time where there were growing
prospects of improved relations be-
tween the north and south He adds:
The murder will be regarded as an
act of war upon Ulster and will stir
passions which may lead to terrible
events on both sides, If the statesman
ship of both governments does not
avert the calamity
Nothing out to prevent Collins and
Craig from coming together in this
crisis and summoning the solid public
opinion OF the north and south to their
aid"
