  1. (continued from previous page)
    At last he succeeded in finding out that there was twenty-five men in this gang. No longer did he stop when know the men. This morning when the smith got up he found the other man gone. No one knew where he was gone until that day the police in Kilreacle got a wire to go to those twenty-five men and take them to the barrack, with their names and addresses given.
    When all the men were collected the military came and brought them away, and each of them was shot.
