He was taken to the hospital %nd was there pronounced to be dead by the doctor. rwo gunshot wounds were found in his head and two in his body, and seven stabs were also found veer the heart.

Tbe body is that of a man named John Kenny. The deceased wore a belt, on the buckle of which was stamped • God save Ireland' and a device representing the sun bunting through clouds. The initials O'B.' and 'A. L.' were also stamped upon it. They are supposed to refer to O'Brien and Larkin, two men who were executed at Manchester some years *go."  The Dublin Correspondent of The Times gives the following details of the murder : An altercation was heard in Seville•place, near the arches under the Great Northern Railway. It attracted little attention at first, as it was supposed to be merely a street brawl. Then a person passing at &short distance heard a sound which seemed to be the stroke of a stick, a voice exclaimed, "Oh, don't ;"' at‘d immediately afterwards firearms were discharged two or three times. One of the men was observed to all to the ground, and two others to run away. He could not pee them with sufficient distinctness to be able to identify them. The shots were also heard by other persons near the spot. Two men named Edward Ennb and Patrick Egan' who live in the neighbourhood. bearing the shots, ran down to the place. On coming within a few yards of the railway arch they found a man on his hands and knees. He was unable to speak and was bleeding freely. Leaving him in charge of one of the bystanders, Ennis and Egan ran to the Summerhill police-statim and reported the occurrence. All the available men at once hastened to the place, and, procuring a car, removed the body— for the man had died in the interval—to the nearest hospital, Jervis -street, where they arrived at one o'clock. He was a strongly built young man a little above the middle height, of the labouring class, and rather poorly clad. The holes made by the bullets were easily discernible in his coat. The edges had a singed appearance, as though the revolver had been fired very close to him. He had also been wounded with a knife. He had on a leathern belt well worn, and a brass buckle havfng on it the words "God save Ireland," and a harp. There are bullet wounds on the left side of the body, on the left shoulder, and on the back of the head, and seven punctured wounds on the left side and in the region of the heart. The deceased was identified in the 'hospital on Tuesday morning by his wile as a labourer named• John Kenny, for some years in the ernplol ment of the Port and Docks Board. He was about 35 years of age, and leaves a wife and two children. He lived about a stone's throw from the scene of the murder. He had been a steady and hardworking man. The place where the murder was committed is dark, even during the day time, and no more suitable place for such a crime could have bees selected.
