A train bringing seventy prisoners
from Enniscorthy to Dublin Monday
had several exciting experiences.
Two attempts we're made by lrregu-
lar troops to rescue the prisoners. In
the fighting two national soldiers
we're killed outside Wexford and
seven wounded. This attempt at
rescue having failed. irregulars in
Dublin made an attempt to take up
positions on the roofs of houses in
the vicinity OF the Harcourt Street
station. rt
The seventy prisoners were lined
upon the station platform under a
strong guard, while some three hun.
dred spectators stood about. Just as
the prisoners were being marched
away heavy fire was opened upon
the crowd Many of these on the
platform threw themselves fiat on
their face thereby probably saving
themselves from injury. The Ma.
tional troops replied to the fire. The
Sighting continued for nearly half an
hour. Svene persons were wounded.
The prisoners were safely escorted
TO Jail.
AS In the other districts evacuated
by the irregulars, the first work OF
the National troops has been to sup.
ply the inhabitants of ClaremorriS
