(Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) TOUCHING SCENES. LONDON. July 12. There were touching scenes in the Dail when a resolution of sympathy with Mr O' Higgins’s bereaved family was moved. Many members woro in tears. Mr Cosgravc expressed flic opinion that the crime was not one of private vengeance, but the fruit of a steady, persistent attack against the State, lie said: ‘‘We shall meet this form of terrorism ns we met others. We shai’l not falter until we have wiped it out.”
Ten persons arrested were charged in the Magistrate’s Court with conspiring with others unknown, to murder Mr O’Higgins. They included Joe Reynolds (Secretary ofFiannn Eireaun) Reynolds declared that when those responsible were found it would be seen they were not members of his organisation. George Plunkett (son of Count Plunkett) is among tho arrested. He declared they were all innocent. R seemed to him they were handy to fill up a gap, hut obviously they were being charged falsely.
