by The United PreS.)

Dublin, Dec. S.-A master spy of
Irish insurgency was known to the
Free State government today as the
man responsible for the death in
ambush of Michael Collins ani Gen
eral Ennis. This spy, posing as q
chauffeur and machine gunner in
the national army, yesterday stole
an armored car and handed II over
to the rebels.
The armored car was used in a
rebel assault at Ballymakeera, ccun-
ty Cork, where 100 Free State troops
surrendered to an overwhelming in
surgent force after one had teen
killed and fifteen wounded.
The Free State government an
nounced the man who banded over
the car to the DeValerites was in
charge Of an armored car accom-
panying Michael Collins when the
famous Free State chieftain was
slain. AT that time this man
claimed his machine qua tammed, it
was recalled. Later, when General
Ennis was similarly ambushed and
killed, the spy claimed his failure to
return rebel fire was tile to having

laws are of ancient origin, so much

of their source except that they are
founded upon usages and customs.

them to retreat. The latest fall will
block the rescue work until noon. it
