SINN FETNERS’ ESCAPE. SUCCESSFUL DASH FOR LIBERTY. By Tslegrapb.—- Press Assn —Copyright. London, May 11. There was a sensational escape of Sinn Feiners who were being conveyed in lorries under escort to Richmond barracks, Dublin. When the lorries stopped at the gate the prisoners jumped out and scattered in all directions. Two men ran to Kingsbridge terminus, and, jumping on a pilot engine told the driver to drive for his life. He did so, and the men escaped. A large number of troops chased the others, but none were recaptured. SHOOTING BY DISGUfISED MEN. London, May 11. Three disguised men, failing in their search for a man named Folan, released after six months’ imprisonment for a political offence, shot Folan’s youthful brother dead and wounded another brother. The men then went to a lodg-ing-house nearby and shot Tully, a railway foreman, dead.
Armed men help up the staff at the Ranelagh branch of the Royal Bank of Ireland and took £7OO.
