Death by shooting was the sem
tence meted out to Sean McCaughy
in a Dublin military court after a
witness, Stephen Hayes, told an
amazing story of kidnapping by
armed men, captivity for weeks
near the northern border OF Fire,
torture, terror and finally escape
to a police station.
Hayes testified that he was ter
ribly beaten, tried at an all-night
"court-martial," accused by his cap
tors of treason and conspiracy to
wreck an illegal organization and
that many times he was close to
death. In the illegal organization
Hayes was chief of staff" and Nc
Caughy "adjutant general" The first
hint of the ordeal reached the au-
thorities when Hayes, with chains
dangling from his arms and legs,
tottered into police station at
Rathmines after he had escaped.

claimed them last night.
William Anderson, IS, of 1856
Eighteenth street NE, one of
half-dozen youngsters who went
to Camp Roosevelt on weekend
holiday, last night reconstructed
the events leading up to the trag-
edy.
The boys had been warned to stay
off the water, according to Louis
Merryman, 80. Billys brother, the
assistant scoutmaster in charge of
the party. They decided, however.
to go out to duck blind about 100
yards beyond the end of pier at
the camp landing.
Young Anderson and Hugh
Bahnke, II, 1877 E street NE,
started out in one boat with Will
liam poling-the oars had been
locked up to prevent the boats be-
ing used. Anderson fell overheard
in shallow water, wet Hugh with his
splashing. and those two waded
back in for dry clothes.
Used Boards for Oars.
Carrell Baker took boat, used a
board for an oar, and Billy Merry
man and Earl Edwards followed in
another. propelling their bats also
with board.
The last two landed at the blind
first, and after Billy had been
dropped there, Earl started back to
get the Anderson and Bahnke boys.
AS he turned back, however, he saw
that :Carrells boat was in trouble,
according to young Anderson, so
retracted his course to the blind.
picked up Billy Merryman, and
started to Carrell's assistance.
In the meantime the wind had
been rising steadily. and before the
boys realized their danger both
boats were drifting out into the
bay.
Realizing their predicament, one
of the boys on shore raced to a
camp house where Scoutmaster
Merryman was and shouted for
him to come to the aid of his COM
panions. Unable to get into the
shed where the oars were locked up,
Mr.. Merryman set out in boat in
pursuit of the fast-disappearlng
craft, also using a board for pad
die. but gave up the hopeless task
in a few minutes and called Linn

tive, asking him to get in touch With

the boys had drifted out of sight.
Sighted Boats at Noon.
Just before noon yesterday as the
Retriever was about Is miles south
east of Camp Roosevelt, Capt. Har-
rison and Capt. Covington saw the
two small boats drifting and went TO
investigate. The bodies told their
own story. Two of the boys still
clutched the board they had used
as a paddle. Young Merryman's
right shoe was missing, presumably
having been lost when he tried to
use it to bail out the slowly filling
boat.
Capt. Harrison said the condition
of the bodies indicated the boys
had died during the bitter night.
The youngsters wore only their ordi-
nary street clothes and sweaters.
