O’HIGGINS MURDER RECALLED Reed. 12.25 p.m. DUBLIN, Thursday. Sean Mcßride, son of Kanor McBride who was executed for participation in the 1916 rebellion, was charged under the Public Safety Act with being a person suspected of being engaged in the conspiracy to murder Kevin O’Higgins, the late Vice-Presi-dent of the Irish Free State, who was assassinated recently at Black Rock, when going to church. The magistrate pointed out that he did not feel justified in remanding the accused under the Act, which only became law a month after the murder of Mr. O’Higgins. The police, however, agreed to a remand for a week, to alter the charge to conspiracy under the ordinary law. —A. and N.Z.
