AN IRISH FIGHT.
OVER FUNDS SUBSCRIBED IN AMERICA.
DE VALERA TO GIVE EVIDENCE.
(Received Tuesday, 7.45 p.m.). NEW YORK, March 15.
A suit to obtain 2,500,000 dollars subscribed for the Irish Republic opened in the New York Supreme Court with tho recital by an attorney of Ireland’s fight for independence. The deposition of the Free State AttorneyGeneral (Mr. Kennedy) stated that the Sinn Fein was a government of unstable tenure, it frequently being necessary to remove the Ministry through the skylight or a drainpipe. The Free State claims the money as the successor to the Republic, which counterclaims that the former has no right to the funds, and even if it were the successor it has not agreed to assume the Republic’s obligations as in equity it should. Mr. Eamonn de Valera is witness for the Republic, but it is not likely that he will go on tho witness stand for several days.—(A. and N.Z.)
