The following news item is
quoted from the Dublin Evening
Herald" dated February Z, 1910:
Barnes and Mccormack were
sentenced to death by Mr.. Justice
Singleton at Birmingham assizes
in December IA, 1889. They have
been found guilty on circumstan-
cial evidence of the death of Elsie
AnSell, age 81, one of the five VIC

CURED at Coventry August 25th.
1t was alleged that bomb had
been placed in the carrier of a
BRIDESMAIDS bicycle which had
been propped up against a curb in
the main street of the city. Three
persons including two women
jointly charged with Barnes and
Mccormack, were found not
guilty. Before the death sentence
was passed Barnes protested his
innocence and said, I am sure it
will come out that I had neither
hand, act or part in it,
Mccormack stated, AS SOL
dier of the Irish Republican army,
am not afraid to. die, as 1 am
dying in just cause
English Method
Another item from the same
paper states, Peter Barnes and
James Richard Mccormack, the
two Irishmen condemned to death
for completely in the bomb explo-
sion in which five persons were
killed, were executed at Winson
Green jail at Birmingham at 9
a. m. today.
why, one may ask, were these
men rounded up and herded with
criminals, and finally put to death
by a system devised to deal with
wicked men? The history of their
native land is in that had they
been Poles or Firms or some other
nationality, and the circumstances
of their death exactly reproduced
in Poland or Finland, England to-
day would be seething with indig-
nation. Her press would search 1t
cheapened vocabulary to find
words to express it's sense Of hor-
ror and outrage"

given to each plant for best results
Bush beans, green pod and wax
should have or 4 inches, depend
ing on the richness of the soil. Peas
are not usually thinned but should
be planted with plenty of room to
grow.
Radishes are usually thinned by
using them. This always results
in a lot of imperfect specimens
which must be thrown away. 1t is
good plan to thin the seedlings
when they first appear.
Leaf lettuce should be thinned,
when growth begins, to about one
inch between plants. AS lettuce is
usually planted, this means discard
ing the big majority of the seed
lings. Those remaining will devel-
op rapidly, however, and soon will
be large enough for some to be
used. Pull up alternate plants for
this use.

. HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
Crowding Vegetables .
Cuts Yield and Quality

Most vegetable crops must be
thinned out in the early stages OF
growth. If left until they attain
some size it is impossible to thin
them without checking the growth
of those that remain. This does not
apply to carrots and beets, which
may be tlinned when some are
large enough to use. 1t is the half
grown carrots that are most deli
cious, and the growth is so much
more in length than in the diam
eter of the root that the thinning
process does not disturb the others
so much.
Turnips must be thinned before
they begin to form. The early tur-
nips are round and flat. They dc
not grow we'll if crowded. If thin
ming is postponed until the roots be-
gi nto form the growth OF all is
checked and the ravages of worms.
which are always ready to feed on
turnips, are likely to be fatal. II
the young plants are pulled up SO
they stand 4 inches apart in the row
in q remarkably quick time they
will be large enough to use.
Beets are more easily handled
than turnips when they are a little
larger, and one should not fail to
try a dish of beet tops with the tiny
roots just beginning to form. 1t is
a delicious introduction to the gar
den menu. The beets which are left
in the ground should be spaced 2
inches apart.
Satisfy, parsnips and witloff chic
ory, which are to remain in the
ground all season, should be thinneG
early to 3 or 4 inches apart in the
-ow. If your soil Is rich the smaller
interval will do, but If it is not
then give more room.
