BALLINA TRAGEDY.
PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT Bydney, July 21. Brown told an interviewer that the oaths binding the members of the secret society were so stringent that he would hang before lie would give the names of his associates. He was selected to steal O’Keefe's bank books in order to raise funds. He used a sandbag on Mistress O’Keefe, intending only to render her insensible, but the bag burst, and defending herself she cut his neck with a bottle. He alleged he could have killed Tim O’Keefe, only he wished to stun him.
